in some locations, cultures, religions, races....yes what you posted is abuse

that said

in some locations cultures, religions, races...no what you posted is not abuse...

something you need to know...

Earth is made up of many different locations (states, contents, countries), many different cultures, many different religions, many different races, many different just about everything. because of all this diversity that resides on this earth there is no one way things are...

example there are millions and millions of children and adults around the world and here in NY that dont even have that one bowl of soup a day, if they are lucky they manage to get maybe a bowl of soup once a week, children that are left to fend for their selves while their parents are off looking for work or working, sick what ever. its not abuse its just that they are homeless, parents got laid off because of budge cuts, parents lost their jobs in the recession... all kinds of reasons. sometimes parents have to do things like ration the food at home and expect the kids to eat the foods that are given out at school.

the same with all the other stuff in some locations, cultures, religions.....what have you it isnt abuse to hit,spank, and even beat their children...

to find out what is abuse and what isnt in your location (state, country, continent, culture....) contact a law enforcement person, social services person, doctor, therapist, teacher where you are. if what you posted is abuse they can help you
