[QUOTE="keista, post: 454486, member: 11965"] [B]Janet[/B], LOVE that story! [B]Hound[/B], the sad reality is that not all parents are abusive because they are intentionally being cruel. They mistakenly believe that their idea of punishments is acceptable. It's that twisted thinking that needs to be corrected. Would I be sending this woman to jail? Maybe, maby not, but would I take the adopted kids away from her and ban her from ever adopting again? You better believe it! I'd probably take the other kids away from her as well.
