The thing I hate about these cases that are prosecuted is that it has to be a very young child, a child has to die, etc. What happened to these babies is atrocious. But it's atrocious regardless of the age or the outcome. So many people can't see that.
So many times I've linked to stories like these with people commenting things like 'They took it too far' or 'of course you have to use common sense'. It's so sad how hardened people's hearts have become because spanking has become ingrained with their faith and theology.
I truly hope that lives are transformed through this situation coming to light. The lives of the children, the parents and all those that hear it.
