Woah there Nellie! No where in my previous statement did I say a multi hour beating is justified!
Hey, sorry your life was like that, but the majority of familes don't fit your description or we would be living in a police state. Yep, video cameras in every home, monthy home inspections by authorities, nosey neighbors and innocent parents in jail. Now that's a way to live! Completely in fear of every move you make.
Sounds like you need to get a chip off your shoulder - it's been there for a long time.

I'm having trouble figuring out where you stand. Would you or wouldn't you call the police if you heard a neighbor beating their child for hours on end? Yes or no?

And it also sounds like people need to be able to make some sound judgments about a situation that deserves to be looked into. This video is one of those situations. Child abuse is not a political issue, it is a moral one. To show your bias against Child Protective Services NOW, during a thread with this much evidence screams about YOUR poisoned view, not CPS's.
Don't get all paranoid about home inspections by authorities... That is not what the world coming to.
Look with your head and trust your heart. I think rational people can tell the difference between a kid having a temper tantrum and a kid being beaten by a parent that has lost it. We need to protect the helpless in this society, even animals protect the young in the pack.
