Mother gets five years probation for spanking son with belt

I guess the stories about Texas being tough on criminals are right....

What a message this sends out....Get ready for tons of kids sueing or turning in their parents....

Read it again Joe. This woman didn't spank her child. She beat her child with a belt and left bruises, welts, and lacerations. Unfortunately laceration sounds a whole lot better than jagged cut or wound, which is the meaning behind the word. She got lucky with 5 years.
