So teachers/cops are supposed to simply ignore when a kid tells them that mommy/daddy hit them? How about bruises or other marks. Just tell the kid to suck it up?
Certainly you understand the difference between a badged, sworn and armed police officer and my doctor. First, one is a union goon and the other one is not.
As far as your 400,000 statistic goes, where did that come from? It doesn’t surprise me that people die after going to the hospital or for doctors care. They went there because they were sick or injured in the first place.
I have no way to time my engagements with police officers, on the other hand. Whenever they’ve got a quota to fill or feel like kicking someone’s ass there they are. And I have nothing to say about it. I just have to deal with them.
No, you call the appropriate government people to take care of it because that is what they are paid to do. Better yet call a church or United Way. THEY can investigate, make a determination IF anything is wrong and get the warrant. Cops should NEVER have to take these simple steps. On top of the obvious, so what if a kid got hit? If he was kicked, punched, or strangled then we have a crime,ergo; the cops.
Wow. You and I obviously have vastly different experiences in this arena. So let's just leave it at that.
