Um. This is abuse and it's also setting the child up to be a victim of molestation or other physical abuse.
This is not a spanking/not spanking issue. This is not allowing a child to have body boundaries. It was a clear and completely abusive act on the part of the mom to hurt a child who requested body space and autonomy.
I'd be desparately worried for this family, and not because "they spank". The sick thinking and action described in the post is deeply flawed and hurtful.
