Re: Has It Really Gotten This Bad?
In the 80's (I THINK) when the child abuse hotline was just becoming "popular" a friend told his daughter to take out the trash. She was 14 at the time and developing the "I'm too big for my britches" syndrome. She told him she was going to call the hotline because he couldn't MAKE her do that. 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.
