[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 97447, member: 3626"] I would suggest you go a totally different route -- call your county social services or child protective services or whatever it is called where you live, ask for a supervisor and ask that person. Ultimately, it is child social services who determines what is or is not child abuse and even that can vary from worker to worker. You don't have to give your name -- at least not normally. Simply state you need to know what the rules are for their department since you can't get a concrete answer elsewhere. Many police officers are pro corporeal punishment -- even when banned by CPS, so they are not a good place to ask. An officer's opinion has as much weight as your next door neighbor's before a juvenile judge. If you can't ask them, you might call the DA's office and ask for a juvenile attorney and ask them. You might get a more real answer than calling attorneys at random. [/QUOTE]
