[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't slap my kids, but I really don't think this is CPS worthy. [/quote]

If slapping a 2 year old in the face in public isn't CPS worthy, what is?[/quote]

A lot worse happens to many kids.  A lot worse. [/quote]
+1    A slap is not a CPS worthy investigation.  As PP stated, there are sooo many worse things that grownups do to kids that are indeed cps worthy.  CPS has enough horrible child abuse cases (think pliers, burns,  belts, sexual abuse, etc..). I really don't think we should divert CPS' attention to a kid who was slapped, as cringe worthy as it may be to some of us.[/quote]

Except, you know, a lot of people don't call CPS over what they see because they assume it's a one time thing or don't want to get involved or whatever. And that's how you end up with kids being tied to the walls and no one reports it because no one realizes how bad shit is at home. News flash, people are usually a hundred times worse at home than in public.[/quote]
except you don't know.  You haven't witnessed worse, you shouldn't assume.  Having CPS called on a family can be quite traumatic for the kids.[/quote]

Or it can lead to parenting classes. CPS doesn't just rip kids from the home over a call. And in any case, no need to assume. What OP posted is plenty for CPS to get involved. [/quote]
