[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A child being placed in foster care or even a family being investigated would be 1000 times more damaging to a child than being yelled at by a frazzled mom.[/quote]

But potentially save that child’s life. Or is death not considered damaging?[/quote]
What are you even talking about? Saving a child's life? I was not aware that yelling and cursing at a child means their life is at risk[/quote]

About 2000 kids die a year from abuse/neglect, overwhelmingly at the hands of their parents.  [b]How many of those 2000 children would be alive if someone called CPS when they saw something happening to them one day at the park?[/b]

No child— not one single child— will be taken away from their family over a video of their mother swearing at them, but it might trigger a home visit/investigation that turned up the fact that the child really was in danger. [/quote]
so you think that adding any parent who swears at their child to the already unmanageable crazy high CPS caseloads will save more children? ooookay.

You realize that many (Most?) children who die already had CPS involved, right?

Man, I don't even know where to begin with this. [/quote]

To be clear I don’t think the swearing is the big deal here, [b]I think it’s the threatened beating.[/b] My toddler wouldn’t have the faintest idea what that sentence meant— if she thought her child would, there’s a reasonable chance he knows what a beating is because he’s experienced it. [/quote]

Ever read the play "12 Angry Men?"[/quote]
