My mother hit us with the first thing she could get her hands one. It might be a broom, a shoe, a spatula (what we used to call an “egg turner” or a “pancake turner”). Once she tried to whip me with a rubber band.
With that said, the wounds on that kid’s legs were severe.
Before I saw the pictures on a past thread, I thought that he had switched his 10 year old or something, and I posted how my mother made us cut our own switches and bring them to her, but this guy makes me angry, he is clueless and a brutal punk.
