Why is everyone calling this “abuse”?
The mom had a valid reason to punish this user.
Abuse is hitting and physically (or mentally, psychologically, etc.) assaulting your child without good reason.
The person didn’t want to study, argued, went to their room, acted crazy, and the mom punished them.
It’s honestly dumb that people call this abuse- when I was a smaller kid, my parents would spank me if I misbehaved.
I am a functioning member of society, and I think without the punishment I received, I’d be a complete brat.
