Luciene,
I think the answer is no. But is your question relevant? Surely it must
be possible to try to EXPLAIN something without being accused of
JUSTIFYING it, no? Btw, I'm going to court in a few days to testify
against one such subject, so I think you got me just a tiny bit wrong
there.
In either case, I'm not sure punishment (as in prisons, beatings, etc) is
the best means of dealing with abusive children, though.
Your last sentence is beyond me. Could you explain, please?
Later,
-tor
