People who are caught abusing children always run away so that they can find fresh territory where no one will know them. I'm glad this man had to pay some restitution. His actions were uncalled for. And they say that people who are prone to violence start small and get more violent as they go along. Thank God this potential predator is out of your lives.

As a parent, no one had ever try to hit my children. I seldom hit them myself. I am a teacher, and I don't believe in hitting children. There are other, more effective ways of disciplining a child. I've seen children come in with bruises all over their bodies. One was a tiny, little blond, curly-haired one-year-old boy. He'd come to day care with black eyes and other bruises. I always wondered how anyone could hit someone as innocent as he was.

I very rarely smack my child myself cause i prefer to deal with bad behaviour in other ways, But there is only a few people like my mum, my sister and my nan who i would allow to smack my son if i wasnt there but if i am there then i will deal with it! I had a problem some time ago my younger sister was smacking my son for little things and she was doing it infront of me as well so i confronted her and put a stop to it!
