and that's fine for Texas and Pennsylvania...

but using a blanket statement "a slap is assault" .. which i was arguing... is INCORRECT.

You're trying too hard.

What is the distinction between a spanking and child abuse? Texas allows spankings. I suppose we will never see the medical report to see what degree hurt the lady put on her kid. But if the judge sentenced her for simply spanking... I smell a lawsuit.

I think people are forgetting that judges can lecture people and that it's not legally binding. Like I said before, it's like a judge telling someone to stop drinking after a DUI. Obviously the person has the right to keep drinking but it would be hard to be upset for the judge saying that. The only thing that is legally-binding, subject to appeal, is the 5 years.

Judge sounded like an idiot.

Mother has something to hide.
