She has 6 kids for one thing. 5 are girls.
Apparently she found it easier to hit herself in the face, that would explain a lot.
Yeah, it makes you wonder how many times she spanked her children prior to the incidents she was arrested for.
It’s also scary to consider that if this had been a live-in boyfriend, she could have allowed him to watch while she spanked her kids. Or even granted him permission to spank them himself “in loco parentis”.
