As a father, those pictures are tough to look at.
Uh...me too, and I am okay with spanking, and if there's raised skin or slight bruising I wouldn't be up in arms.
Those marks show that the switch broke the skin in places. I can tell you beating a kid until they are cut and bleeding, even minor cuts, has no place in my parenting arsenal. The report said there were many cuts on the kid, on his hands too.
I'm not okay with that. If I'm a Mom who sent her 4 year old son to his Dad's for a measly visit and he came back like that I would shake with anger for days.
