More bad news from the pro-child abuse crowd.
A mother in Manchester, NH, gave her 10 year old daughter a black eye and bloody lip for taking presents from a sibling. The mother is being held on $20,000 cash bail pending arraignment in Manchester District Court.
For those of you who think hitting children is OK, this is another instance where the “right” to beat your children turns into abuse and an assault and “endangering a child” charge. You might start off thinking you will never abuse your child, but a spanking leads to a slap, then a punch, then a kick, then a full-blown assault on your child. You will destroy your child and end up a felon.
Don’t spank children.

Oh this truly makes my heart hurt.
Why any person, anywhere, thinks hitting a child is okay, productive, necessary, or right, is beyond me. I have four children, from a teenager to a baby, and there has been, is not, and never ever will be any situation that warrants physical violence.
People think if they call it “spanking” it makes it okay. I think it should be illegal.
Thank you for the post, I hope more and more people realize hands are for hugging, not hitting.
I used to think ’spanking’ a child was alright, my parents spanked me when i was nuaghty. But as i get older i learn about things parents do for “love”. I dont understand how someone could say they love thier child, then go and hit them or beat them or in worse cases sexually abuse them. im 16 and i have learnt what the world is really like. My world is destroyed just like the world we all live in.
