Ok so aparently according to the Police Department in my town it is OK for a parent to beat their child until he/she is bruised and bloody. The parent won't get arrested, fined, or even a verbal warning. Instead, they will tell the beaten child "It is ok for your dad to beat you, it is actually a good thing, it diciplines you, teaches you how to be strong and take a hit." They said exactly that to my friend when his father beat him. I think it is totally wrong that they won't do anything and they tell abused kids that it is OK for their parent to abuse them, and unless the abused kid is in the hospital or has a broken bone, they won't do anything about it.
THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE, IT IS WRONG.
FAV if you agree and support me.
I'm trying to get a petition going against the Police Department in my town to change this issue.
