He used "corporal punishment" on her and then handed her the telephone and I quote.

"Fine, call the hotline and then pack your clothes. This is MY house and if you aren't going to follow the rules....you aren't going to live here"

She didn't call.

My girls tried to pull that stunt when they were young and I told them to just stand back and I would make the call. For some reason they changed their minds real quick!!

You go Mama!

You know, it is all really sad because the children suffer the most here! If people would realize that it's the correction of the children at a young age that (most of the time when done right) produces decent, moral citizens who have no trouble with the law. Children who are allowed to throw fits and never suffer the consequences of their wrong actions, you will eventually see them in the courts.......... SAD!
