Thanks!! Whew!! I was worried that I was an abuser!! (NOT!)

[Zavien Doombringer]

I agree

I have Kids of my own.. 4 and I never beat them... spanked, yes; beat, no!

[Darksheare]

Najida had a rough past.
And I stupidly forgot about it when I pinged her.
And as such I must apologize to her for my lack of thought on it.

[pollyannaish]

LOL. I am glad your children and my children will be part of the same generation.

That said, this is a horrible and tragic story. Heartbreaking to say the least.

[Herakles]

This society is upside down. We keep the sickos alive and well, while the innocent parish without mercy.

Actions no longer have consequences. Justice does not exist.

The laws of God have no meaning.

The laws of nature (Darwin), where there are consequences for the actions taken, have been suspended.

This is not what the founding fathers intended.

[Zavien Doombringer]

You can lead a child to food, but you can't make her eat!

I know that... Parents brought brussel sprouts to me all the time I kept refusing till they took the hint...

[angcat]

A little humor but when I was small my mom and dad would punish me by making me eat the dreaded Meatloaf. I would sit at the dinner table alone until bedtime. This is a dreadful story and I believe these two will get away with it just like Joel Steinberg did, he is free. :(

[angcat]

I was thinking I am a bad mother because I am always yelling at my kids. I want to hug them now also.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thank you, both...

Thank you, Roadrunner..

"Yeah, lets all blame Perry. Its ALL his fault you know."

It is his fault. The have laws in effect that would have forced an intervention. I've gotten involvd when they weren't in effect. Perry told his own story regarding the events and wishes he would have done something.

[pollyannaish]

There are certain advantages to being grown up.

For many years I looked forward to a time when eating cauliflower was no longer expected.

Something HAS to compensate for responsible adulthood after all.

It's really easy to call CPS out on a family. It's happened to us. The case was so bizarre that the cops were ready to call it harassment...but the CPS worker still had to waste her time coming out and investigating and doing all her stuff, just because someone decided to call CPS to say that my children were home unsupervised and there was an infant in the home. Funny thing, the first time, they were with a 16 yo babysitter, the second time, I was home. And my youngest child is 6. In addition, we are not Asian, as the caller indicated I was. That's about the time the cops decided that whoever the caller was was just out to get me or crazy, and told me to not worry about it. They actually called the caller to say DO NOT CALL US AGAIN. Who knows what was going on. All I know is that it wasted my time, the cops time and the social worker's time. And it put me through hell for a few days, even KNOWING I was innocent, because CPS can and will pull kids for very little reason on occasion.

If you suspect abuse, by all means, call. But not for a couple of bruises. Children are hurt and families torn up by false accusations of abuse too. You don't have to dig too far into the foster care system to see that.

"we as a society look away and condone the physical punishment of children, what else do we really expect?"

You have an extremely hard time grasping reality. The fact that you make such dingbat statements proves it. Seems you can't differentiate between child behaviors that deserve punishmnet and those that do. To you a kid burglarizing a house is the same as spilled milk. Your're a liberal.

[najida]

ACK!

All I see is someone who has a button that got pushed. When it's all over you want to crawl in a hole out of embarrassment.

I saw that in the poster. Not a troll, but someone who flashed. That's all.

[Darksheare]

I understand.

[spunkets]

"For the last 2 of 3 nights the 4yo went to bed without supper because she refused to eat what was on her plate...

She will soon learn what pockets are for.

Before I was blessed with children of my own, stories like this used to trouble me.
Now, with three precious angels sleeping in their beds under my roof, I am ENRAGED.

This f-in animal deserves to be shot and p-ssed on. The creature (she doesn't deserve the title of Mother) that stood by and let this happen deserves to be shot and p-ssed on.

I know the Lord says that vengeance is His, but I would gladly pull the trigger myself.

Exactly how I'm feeling right now.

Who cares if a child is beaten--it's discipline, right?

Troll why don't you come over here and I will show your arse the difference....ok?

[SittinYonder]

Your story is what frightens me. I've had friends who have had similar experiences. The one that scares me most is a guy I knew was playing with his kid in the living room of his first floor apartment. The guy had his shirt off. The child was dressed.

A neighbor walked by and decided it looked like the guy was molesting his kid. DFCS (CPS in Georgia) came and took the child and the guy could only have supervised visitation for nearly two months while the allegations were investigated.

That was before I had kids. It was unreal to me, and even though I'd known the guy for years I found myself becoming suspicious of him. In the end, they didn't prosecute, there was nothing to it, and he got his kid back.
