I just read the article about the 5 children being abused by the 3 adults and I couldn't help but think, this was my life as a child . Matter of fact, anyone that was an adult would smack us if we got out of line, friend of the family, the neighbor, didn't matter. Its a Generation thing. Its sad that it took this long to see its not ok. Obviously these people went way too far. I don't understand how a person who supposedly loves you, can beat you to bruises and watch you cry, and not feel bad, and continue to do it. There's a special place in Hell for you!
