Or as the local wisdom goes: "if they have done something bad, beat them. If they haven't done anything bad, beat them anyway because they must be planning something."
It can be difficult to find the middleground but I agree with the earlier posts. The hysteria has gone too far and the results can be seen in some sad cases. They might be minority, yes. The worst I ever got from my parents was stern conversation, yet I haven't ever had an urge to do anything like what we get to see news these days. But I still think the option should be there for the parents to use. When it's the teachers in schools that are afraid to go there, you know something is wrong in the society.
