I'm still considering the possibility of having him charged. It occurs to me that being charged is not the same as convicted. I can see both sides of the argument and I'm torn.

That is something to worry about. I can't understand why people find him so appealing. It's alien to me. To my sense of right and wrong, but if people were raised in that strict way, are they more likely, like in those books by Alice Miller, to think that sort of treatment is right?
It seems so harsh to me. I can't fanthum hitting a child over anything, and these folks are hitting kids for crying for them, for normal child things. It's a culture I don't understand, even though when I lived with my mother I grew up with that sort of thing, and she did too, worse than I did.
