are we overprotecting our children

Our children have become rapist, bullies,murderers and many concerned parents feel vulnerable in this predicament. Since the children have been given to much powers, it is not easy for the parents to raise them up. i grew up by beaten up but i never died out of it but it intitiated me to be a human being.i don't mean that we have to lynch our children but i believe that coporal punishment helps children to have fear of doing evil inside of their hearts. Overprotecting children make them spoiled and since they are naive they can be easily misled to imitate wrong role models and end up playing them.

My 60 something years neighbor recently come to grip with a 6 year old who just drop rubbish in front of his house and when she told him to pick it up, the little boy stubbonly asked her to make him do that. She shouted at the boy and said to him that she will tell his principal but the boy told him to try. The poor lady felt vulnerable and disgraced. What can one do in a situation like that. i believe a child who is brought up being punished for acting somehow, couldn't have done that. he could have seen the poor lady as his granny.
