I have seen mothers play with their children. I have seen mothers spank their children. I have seen mothers wrestle with their children. I have seen mothers trying to wave away an insect bothering their children. I have seen this from every angle; front, side, and behind. That mother was BEATING that child. I saw the video with the sound down, so I did not have to be told by a newscaster that the mother was beating the child.

Here's a question: if you saw the video, and it was of your babysitter doing the same thing in the video, with your child, what would be your first reaction?

Outstanding Point! First reaction , Get a rope.

I watched this thing on the television(much better than the streams online) and I saw the hair pulling and shaking this time. YOu really can't miss it if you are watching it on a large tv.

I'd be overcome with emotion and kick her ass to downtown and back.

I'm trying to be objective here and I did not see her striking the child.

It may be the fault of the video or my perceptions, but if I was on a jury and this was the sole evidence, I'd vote to acquit.

If a child shows up battered, all bets are off.
