I thought this was the softball discussions forum. What does this have to do with softball?
You guys are clueless about child abuse.
Here is a quote from the spanking story (the girl was 16YOA):
Things then escalated and, at one point, the teen grabbed a knife from the kitchen sink, although she testified she never brandished it or threatened her parents with it.
Her mother then pinched her arms and told her to go to her room and her dad "guided" her there by placing his hand on her neck and pulling her hair.
In the bedroom, the father held the teen's legs over her head "to present her buttocks for spanking" and told his wife to spank her with a belt. She was struck at least three times, including a final blow which the father told his wife to administer after she had paused.
This was a little more than a spanking. The whole sequence of events sounds strange. As in, "These people are nuts. Maybe someone had better talk to the child to see if she is being sexually abused."
As to the public spanking case...it sounds a little excessive. Someone called child welfare, so someone thought the spanking was excessive. Once the child welfare agency is called, they have to investigate. It is the law. The worker suggested the mother go to some parenting classes, and she refused. Perhaps the worker was being overly aggressive, or perhaps the mother has a problem with anger management and really needs the classes. We can't tell from the article.
Goingdeep, as for your friend...it is a custody dispute.
This is what happens when you take away the parent's ability to punish their children.
