Sarcasm On!! Tell you what. Since I'm bigger and stronger than you I give you a similar beating; of course you'll have no need to worry since according to you such a beating wouldn't leave any "lasting physical injury or harm."

So how about it. I'm available any time to administer a similar beating. Sarcasm OFF!!!!

Did you not read my post?

I'm just saying that the truth is enough. It's abuse and she should be prosectuted.
I saw the tape, and the woman is being quite deliberate about not hitting full force. Id be surprised if the girl had a mark.

For one thing, exaggerating the mothers actions only makes a case for her to fight. The truth is enough. She struck her daughter in rage and frustration. She'd been put out by the store. (Her daugher probably also failed a shoplifting lesson.) She's a child abuser. The end.
