Report AbuseRosalie, the paddle is abuse. If it hurts/leaves marks for more than 24 hours, it is abuse, and you need to call social services. I have a cousin who was in a similar situation.
One day, I decided to visit her and her mom, and all through the visit, she seemed scared, and her mom was freakishly nice, but seemed to want me out of there ASAP. Well, on my way back to the motel I was staying in, I realizes I left my coat, and it was f**cking cold, so I went back for it. When I got to the door, I heard crying, I discovered that the door was still unlocked, so I went in. in the livingroom, I saw my cousin (she's 11, by the way) bent over the couch with her pants down, and her mom is going at her with a belt. you should have seen the look on her (the mom's)face, something like a deer in the headlights. My cousin pulls up her pants and runs out the door, and her mom is still staring at me like I was an alien or something. She tried to tell me something along the lines of "Well... She's had this coming for awhile now... I think it's best that we don't go running off and telling people who don't need to know... This should be kept between us...OK?"
I ended up punching a hole through the drywall and smashing a vase so as to resist the urge to beat the s8*t out of her. The first thing I did when I got back to the car was call social services, then I realized that the kid was hiding in my car. I took her to a hospital, where they found even more bruises and whatnot, and now mommie dearest (inside joke) only gets to see her once a week, with supervision.
