It may save him from shotgun blas6t to the chest.
The human race has survived worse corporal punishment.
I doubt she intended to open wounds but I’m not going to condemn her for giving the kid a beating.
don’t agree with you my bet is that the kids will break into more houses all the mother taught was don’t get caught because if you do I will beat you... it is not the severity of a punishment that is important it is the consistency that a punishment is given. any parent that leaves damage when administrating corporal punishment is giving a beating nothing more then that. I am all for getting to the seat of a problem with a spanking but she used a power cord and according to the news article there were serval lacerations.
