My parents' generation (in the UK) were physically beaten as children. It was a normal part of parenting and part of school.
My hope is that one day we will consider this emotionally abusive behaviour as seriously as we we now look at physical abuse. Though I don't hold out much hope. Especially as there are still some people holding out for the right to hit their children even now.
