You don''t need corporal punishment for children when there is the threat of being ostracized. That is a greater fear and a more long term consequence. Consequences are important. Those who are being victimized should have full permission to stand up and defend themselves if they can. Then they can apply their own consequences to the bully. Otherwise, step in your ignorant adults in authority that takes away the children's autonomous authority, and deal with the violator. Thanks for the feedback, appreciated :)
