The term 'lacerations' in this case were used because it sounded worse..

And, you know that how? Right, you just assumed that. This trial was by jury with more than one witness to the child's lacerations. Or, do you conclude that no child is ever beaten and not just spanked?

No, I know the ins and outs of the CPS games.. and I know that ANY discipline today can get you thrown in jail or in CPS hell...I also know that with today's overzealous society, one phone call from a wierd neighbor can get you the same... and considering 80 percent of all CPS charges are false.. I know that not as many parents are hurting their children as people are led to believe. Do kids get abused by parents and others? sure. Does it happen as often as the media wants you to think? No. Some people think yelling at your child is abuse. Some people think any kind of discipline amounts to "humliation"... we only know what is reported in the media on this story... I'm more likely to take the side of the parent than the CPS nazis.
