I think guys like that should be prosecuted. But it takes that combination of things with the individuals bringing the charges, and this guy is married to a Russian and lives in Vladivostok. How do you get him into court?

I spanked my own kids way too hard on a number of occasions, and because I was a teacher, on a number of occasions I did the same to the children from other parents. This was child training in the Family. I'm sorry for that too, I've asked for forgiveness from my own children and if I met someone that I had harshly disciplined in the past I would ask forgiveness from them too. But I don't think I'll ever have to go to court for that.

To answer your question, I think that if an individual, a victim, brings valid charges against someone for a crime they committed, then the guilty party needs to pay the price, even if that person is a loved one. Am I right or wrong?
