I know I'm chiming in late, but I've been following some of these cases closely. This one is killing me. She is TWO. Many, if not most, babies are NOT fully potty trained at this age! Why would you use spanking as a punishment for teaching them to use the potty??? They are babies for crying out loud. I'm sorry, I just can't understand it. This man hasn't even been in the baby's life long enough to have gained her trust and love yet, has he? I may have to take a couple years off from reading these forums again.
