[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is hitting your child not abuse? Corporal punishment is abuse. [/quote]

Its not appropriate but its not illegal.  Its abuse if you leave marks or bruises.  While many of us disagree, many parents feel differently and still use it.  If OP feels its abuse, she can make a CPS report.  You may not agree, nor I but that is not abuse.[/quote]

NP. It doesn’t have to be illegal to be abuse.

OP, protect your poor child. [/quote]

Please tell OP what she should do. If she makes a CSP report as a parent, and particularly after a report was found to be unfounded, a judge could easily find that she is alienating her child and take away custody time from her. If she refuses to present her child for custody time with dad, same thing. I have a friend whose ex was convicted of felony child abuse (not related to their shared child) and that person still got 50% custody. I would be so stressed and livid if I was OP, but OP has very little space in which to work without risking her own time with her child. But if you have amazing ideas, please share, I would love to be wrong about this.[/quote]
