Are you kidding? I have seen some abuse( I don't like that word because it brings up bigger images than reality), I am not against spanking when its truly needed, but unless it gets a desired result your wasting your time....we went to our pastor about some things and he said if you say anything about physical abuse I will have to call childrens welfare.....OH my that backed us off, because what was happening was not bad enough to start all that, we just wanted some guidence on how to help this person deal better with his frustratioin and have more patience with his children...maybe in the long run and looking back we were wrong to not report it....oh dear!

I know a family that adopted a boy from there....it was very very expensive...which made me wonder how much did they really want to get them into homes...we considered it but could not afford it and we are really getting too old!
