I'm sorry Wandering Alice that you are reading your thoughts in Larry's words.

Again, Larry took a stand that is radically different from most of our views.   It is not a position that people won't even stop to consider.   He does not feel that what was viewed in the video was abuse, and he may be right. He may not. That is the point that most people are missing.

It is one thing to disagree with Larry. I too feel that he has interpreted points without looking to consider the other side. I also feel that IF she is guilty of a crime she should be punished ACCORDING TO THE LAW. There is no excuse for savagly beating a child. However none of us are in a position to determine the extent of that beating from watching that particular video.

I do feel that it wrong to put words in his mouth that weren't there - and I'm referring to your earlier comment about him not having the interest of the child in heart. If you read his comment, and I mean read ALL of his comments, I don't think you can draw that conclusion.
