Did the mother get arrested for hitting her child.? Everywhere, in this country it is illegchild. Parents doo not have that right anymoreal to discipline your child, in such a physical manner> My hat is off to the mother. There needs to be a lot more of this kind of discipline. That does not mean “beating” the children; it means teaching and controlling them. All laws have consequences for violation. The young people do not seem to understand that, in todays’ society.
