I grew up in the city. I have seen REAL abuse. We had kids that had human jaw prints on their backs and chest--places that, with a shirt on didn't show. We would see cigarette burns and things like that at the public pool. They would be reluctant to take off their shirts but, you couldn't swim in the pool unless you did.
When I first got married, we lived in a condo. Many there were scummies that rented there. One woman used to abuse her son terrible. Once, I witnessed her take a grocery bag from the car and drop it on his head because he was asking for something. It wasn't a bag of bread--you could hear cans.
I called the police--they came, investigated and social services came later on. Within days, the case was closed because they couldn't PROVE his abuse (the mother did things that never caused PHYSICAL marks--another was making him hold his pee until he almost wet his pants--she would stand there and laugh).
And, here I am being investigated! It just gets me so mad--while they are wasting time on me, some other kid is being beaten, sexually molested and/or emotionally abused and needing that help!
