Sure Steve. I don't know the laws in your country and thus we can disagree. Physical violence targeted towards children is a red flag and I can admit it goes to my emotions quite quickly.

Just to be consistent: I don't know enough about the situation. I would never pull my kids hair. I don't think it is ok. Neither would my XW. But, in this case it could REALLY do more harm for the situation as DonH pointed out. There has been TRO etc. I wouldn't be ok, but I wouldn't report it from one time. We are human after all, we do mistakes. Continued? Then it is a different case and then one should be concerned.

Just to keep it light: the only person I spank is my gf wink
