I was spanked as a kid....but not beaten. There is a difference.
One quick swat across the butt is hardly abuse, and IMO teaches the kid to respect the parent's authority. I also firmly believe that a swat or spank shouldn't be the first line of discipline.
A swat IMO should only be as a last resort for discipline, and it should be prefaced with a warning, i.e. "I've told you twice already not to do that. If you do it again, you're going to get a spanking" Kid does it again, parent follows through on the threat. Kid learns that parent's make good on the threats they give. Kid learns that parents mean what they say.
