A situation arose recently that reminded me of something that happened years ago. My cousin's husband had been abusing her little girl. Bad physical abuse. I mean cigarette burns on purpose, being beaten..... She was, I believe, 3yo or 4yo. A few of my cousin's uncles took the child's father into the woods & showed him what would happen if he ever hurt the child again.
Do you agree that when it comes to protecting children it's ok for the family to handle it rather than calling the police & have them take the man to jail & have him right back out of jail the next day & back at home with the kid?
I know, my cousin should have left him, and she did finally realize she could do better. That's a whole nother story, low self-esteem, weighed over 350lbs.
