I would have been long in prison. If it wasn't MY kid I would still have beat that boy within at least an inch of his life, if not more. He never would have made it as far as prison.

Do I think its right? Maybe not. But my intellect is far outweighed by my own past, and I cannot stand to see anyone being abused. Like a few other people said, when you've been wronged, you can't fix it with faint intellectual justice. I would have liked MY mother to beat the crap out of my abuser, it would have eased the nightmares and inner torture of many years.

Regardless, I wouldn't have done the eye for an eye bit. Like I said. That kid would be lucky to be alive if I'd caught him.
