I have to agree with you. What happens when your neighbor calls police because he hears screaming and crying kids from your house...must be abuse going on there!

Then you find yourself in a heap of trouble, defending yourself, all because someone called police on what was thought to be abuse. Come to find out after all is said and done, not to mention your image in the neighborhood, little Johnny and little Jill were fighting over who gets to see what program on TV, so the parent turns it off for no one to see!

That's what it's coming to folks...

What about when a neighbor hears a child being beaten for hours on end? Screaming and yelling and pounding going on and on and on? Broad daylight, full afternoon sunshine when the beating starts, pitch dark when it ends? Would you call the cops then?

Because I wish to God someone had called the cops when that was being done to me some thirty-five years ago. Maybe the cops would have taken me away from that psycho b!tch, and I could have had something resembling a childhood instead of the hellish nightmare I got to grow up in.

So where do you draw the line? At what point do you pick up a phone and call someone to get involved? The kid can't do it for themselves, they're too brutalized and terrorized to be able to call for help. Would you call for help for them? Or would you just remain silent while the beatings go on and on and on?

Oh, and the best thing about beatings like that one? They never really end. They just keep on giving and giving. But don't get involved. Don't want to disturb your perfect little world.

I agree..we all need to be careful that what we perceive to be the truth of a situation..really is the truth. However this video is pretty substantial proof that the child was not lovingly placed in the car, then given a hug and kiss for getting in her car seat so quickly. It raises some questions...and the mother needs to be questioned and the child examined.
