Likely more catholic. That's something I always heard the old nuns did back in the day for Catholic schools.




480...exactly. There is quite a difference in spanking your child(with an open hand) and hitting them with a closed fist.


I was spanked as a kid (open hand) and the few times I was...it was an effective way to discipline me. So I'm def not one of those that thinks spanking is child abuse.


But beating up your kid to the point they need stitches or their arm turns purple?? Yeah that's child abuse. As a nurse I would have been mandated by law to call CPS and report that if I saw a pediatric patient with injuries like that and that was the story they gave me.
