child abuse
isnt corpral punishment gone? arent parents not allowed to mistreat there children? i only ask because the police department declared that marks left on a person i know were not sufficient enough and only due to diciplining the child. I also ask this because this is not the first time the parent has done this to her child.
Re: child abuse
In Florida, and most jurisdictions, corporal punishment is not banned per se. Whether touching a child is disciplining or abuse is a matter of degree and is very subjective. If you believe there is abuse, please contact the Department of Children and Family Services to start an investigation.
