Looked at the pics. I agree. It was overdone.
Should it be criminal? No.
Definitely should lead to parenting intervention by social services.
I think I concur with your conclusions.
Sorry but the law in Texas seems to clearly define it as a felony to injure a child.
Even after looking at those pics, taken a week after the beating, you think it shouldn’t be criminal to beat your 4 year old bloody? Add in a switch to the scrotum as well?
Sorry, I would literally have nothing to do with you IRL.
