OK, I imagine smacking my kid pretty regularly, but I cannot concieve of actually doing it, let alone really harming him.

And one of those things that is so awful to think about, that we often don't, until it happens right in front of us.<BR/><BR/>Re Mrs. Lawyer...a good thing to know about CPS. Non-direct intervention is the safest way for all concerned.<BR/><BR/>What I've carried over from my years as a DV hot line counselor, is that it is not safe to get directly involved...and I don't mean not safe for the intervener (though it can be)...but for the victim. Direct intervention can escalate an already volatile situation into something deadly.<BR/><BR/>Here's another list of references I found:<BR/>http://www.masskids.org/links/<BR/>links_childabuse.html<BR/><BR/>A powerful message, Mrs. Chicky. And spot on advice. The best thing we can do is to help people to help themselves.Namitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476552972162497517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-83533647039106813152007-06-22T11:57:00.000-05:002007-06-22T11:57:00.000-05:00My heart hurts for that poor child.

I feel sick.<BR/><BR/>I have a post in me about something similar that I will right someday, but it's so hard to even *think* about the death of a child right now. So hard.<BR/><BR/>I do have one thing to add - Most CPS hotlines will allow you to report something anonymously, or at least they will not tell the person being investigated who reported them. I know the first thing most people say is "I didn't want to get involved."Lawyer Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819273107327846943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-27423238185267299122007-06-20T15:51:00.000-05:002007-06-20T15:51:00.000-05:00That poor, poor baby.

So sad that in many cases, it's a cycle of abuse, or preventable if the person had realized they were moving towards something horrible and sought some help in coping. <BR/><BR/>There was a child here years ago who was killed by her father after a few years of abuse, her mother silent and helping to dispose of the body, likely a victim of abuse herself. The father wanted to keep it out of the news to preserve his good name in his community. He didn't think this was a big problem, just a family matter. <BR/><BR/>People are so, so farked.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.com
