Unfortunately it is against the law in England to smack a child. Although I don't think it is right to beat a child, surely a smack isn't that bad.
I was smacked as a child when I was naughty and it has done me no harm. I think some of the problems we have today with children having no respect, is due to this.
All you can do is try and explain to him that it is better to respect people and ask him how he'd feel if someone was to hit him or call him nasty names.
