You're receiving criticism for your kid having gotten to this point, but corporal punishment is a difficult threshold to cross even if you believe it's necessary, especially with how society treats it these days.
I think you're doing the right thing. Your son is lucky to have a father who cares enough about his future to act.
Have you tried beating his ass hard enough to the point he doesn't dare try again?
It's legal to spank kids in Florida. I did that for the first time the other day.
Good luck.

"For the first time...."
There's your problem, sir. Hope he's young enough to learn from subsequent ass-whoopings.
