I, personally, think there is a time & a place for such, but in this case I feel its not necessarily what is needed. Kids in foster care as a rule have been through some type of hell & back which may have included physical abuse. Its not quite as cut & dry in this situation not to mention any legal issues with that form of discipline when fostering these kids....
It is amazing how different areas have different beliefs in child rearing tho LOL!
