You do what you need to do to bring about the results you want. If you want a little gang banger than don't dicipline them, and you may get your wish.
In Marine boot camp I saw brutal disipline to purge the weaknesses of many who came from a soft home - most did not make it.
If you don't disipline your child - you hate your child! Pain is a great incentive - if you use it early, you won't have to use it much!
I grew up with gang bangers. The worst of them got beat and abused constantly for any and every infraction. It made most of them mean and turned them into bullies. Show me a hardcore gangbanger and you will find someone with abuse in their background.
