I just saw this on my local news. It is VERY hard to watch, so be forewarned. It is so incredibly upsetting that I wish I had not seen it. Due to my own PTSD issues from abuse growing up. I cannot even handle knowing, hearing or seeing a child being "regularly" spanked....so this was horrifying to me.
This reminds me that there are so many other children going through this right now, yet there is no intervention for them as their suffering is done behind closed doors. Luckily this witness captured it on video. Another issue is that this witness took it to social services who refused to do anything. Also, they are only being charged with misdemeanor child abuse charges!!!!!!! this should be a FELONY!!!
