[QUOTE="Malika, post: 495528, member: 11227"] Well, yes, I think every western country has an equivalent of that. And the government actually recently introduced a number that people could ring with guaranteed anonymity to report cases of child abuse. It's not that simple, though. People here generally are more severe with their children than in other countries I've known and I don't know that this [B]would[/B] be seen as abuse (even though it is). And then... it clearly wouldn't be anonymous, as I'm the only person who witnesses it - she doesn't do it when she has family or visitors in the house... I don't know what is in their heads, really. I feel sure it is pure ignorance. They seem to have no notion of educating the child or seeing her as a tiny child... They talk to her (seriously) as though she were a detainee in a prison camp. They seem pretty messed up. [/QUOTE]
