Some parents deserve to be sued for how they treat their children; I've heard different stories of parents flogging their children to death.
Discipline is good, but then it shouldn't taken to the extreme mile by inflicting so much pain on a child; such parents should be taken to court and detained if need be.
I totally agree with you.
There should be a law that protects children even from their parents because some parents feels that as long as they are the parent, they can do anything they like to their children.
