    Jail time AND neutering.

    It depends on the situation.  I can't see too many situations where jail time and a foster home are not warranted. 

    What psycho hits children?   But, still, it depends on the situation and what actually occurred.

    Any adult who abuses a child should be put in solitary for the rest of their life.

    What?  No counseling?

    I think we need to just listen a little.  YES punishment.  But remember that three quarters of the abusers were abused themselves as children.

    There's the rub. 

    If I were an innocent child that needed protection while daddy and mommy were selling me into child porn for drugs, that might make me not know any better.  It is hard to just come down with a merciless hammer when thought upon that way.

    Otherwise?  We could fry them all.  There are always complications.

    Sorry.  For me this is a black and white issue.  Abuse your child and you go away - no ifs, ands or buts.

    You sound a little off balance on this one.

    Thank you Dr. Thriftymaid.  You can feel anyway you want and I will do the same.  Have a nice day.

    So being abused yourself as a child justifies THIS?

    I'm with E99. Spay the mother.

    What does bashing with a spoon mean?  The link doesn't work for me.

    The do-gooders will soon have you in jail for the slightest touch. It's the real bashers and abusers you want to put away. Doubt if a spoon would do any real harm unless used abusively.  This post was edited by Malizz at September 15, 2017 11:26 AM MDT

    A little common sense and perspective are in short supply.
