"take it like a man" my ass

I am so incredibly appalled and disgusted as to feel sick. I'm just sitting on the front porch, reading and enjoying the nice weather when one of the kids across the street is escorted out to their porch and promptly spanked so loudly it f*cking ECHOED down the street.

In response to the comment above, I'm going to have to step in and recommend you do NOT call CPS. If there is any doubt in your mind it was abuse, then you don't want the law involved. I have no direct experience with CPS, but I've seen family law at work before, and it is completely out of control. There's really no subtlety involved in family law--especially once children are involved--and there times even a sympathetic judge is unable to intervene in the name of common sense because his hands are tied by the law.

I know what you have seen may have upset you greatly, but you need to be aware that no matter how small the issue, if CPS becomes involved there is a very real possibility that the children could be removed from their family. Maybe not even immediately; once you're on the books, you stay there. Unless this child is in direct danger of severe physical or mental harm, ripping them from their parents is about the worst thing that can happen to him. After all, in a few years, he'll be big enough they can't spank him anymore. He'll never grow out of being torn from his family.
