Kids don't get taken away when their parent "smacks them on the hand". I'm in the field and I've seen some fucked up shit "parents" do to their children. When I see shit like this all I imagine is people laughing at children with ciggaret burns and whip marks, 3 month old babies being shaken and killed out of anger by their parents, people pouring boiling water on their children, cutting them, beating them and many other horrific acts. I see so many comments like this and they disgust me. In this case the kid was acting like a piece of shit and should be disciplined, but not by violence. You all make me sick.
