Perhaps you can tell us how a mom beats her child and leaves no scars.

Happens all the time. Kids with broken bones (and no bruises) are brought into emergency rooms on a regular basis.

I haven't discovered a way yet.

You don't beat your kids, do you?

Hey guy, it takes a day or so for some kids to show bruising. Others can show it right away. I've never seen a kid that didn't bruise from a real beating. I've never seen a kid whose bruises vanished in seven days.

I've done some work in ERs. I've seen children come in with compound fractures, without a single bruise. I'll guarantee you they had on the next day.
