Time out doesn't always work and parents shouldn't need to be worried about getting arrested for spanking (not beating) their own child. A lot of these smartass gang member punks need a good spanking. At least they would know their parents cared enough to discipline them.

Er - well, I don't know if spanking needs to come back. There are a lot of adults these days with psychological trauma because of "spankings." But yeah, we can agree that value on raising children is important, and that it doesn't necessarily need to be the mother.
