Oh just get over yourself! It was a rhetorical device!
Did you understand the point, or did you get your panties too bunched up with the notion that the police weren’t called? If you understood my meaning, then the device served.
BTW - whippin’ (and it’s a whuppin’ or a whippin’ - whoopin’ is what you do with hollerin’) his butt good and then calling the police would be MORE than a butt whippin’ by itself, wouldn’t it?
OH! Just in case you missed it - the point was: probably excessive, but there might possibly be a reason a kid could deserve that kind of whippin’
According to you, a severe beating is in order when an 11 yo boy is accused of rape. All your hyperventilating aside, that is just sick.
the story tells what the child was 'disciplined' for - READ IT.
And would you please elaborate on what possible 'crimes' a 4 year boy could have committed to deserve a beating all over his body - leaving open wounds?
I raised 5 kids - got 15 grandkids - I'd really like to know!
a four year old couldn’t do anything to deserve that beating
