I'm the step of a child who was difficult and damaged at age 5. I went through HE double hockey sticks for years. When he was 11 he choked my 5yo daughter. But never once did I get violent with him. Yelled, grounded, took away privileges, put him in touch with bio-mom ( who had abandoned him), told my hubby he had to man up and deal with reality. But I love the (now adult) kid and can't imagine "disappearing" him.I hope that something was discovered today, something that will put the perpetrator of this behind bars for life. I had the feeling, due to the focused activity, that maybe something had.
I have kids, step-kids, grand-kids. I will never understand how anyone can hurt a child.
