Stupid people can't work things through their head, and instead fly off the handle and hurt others. Even worse is when they justify it by saying things like, "well they shouldn't have made me mad!" Bull crap!

Nobody should hit anyone ever. Violence is the most primal and dim-witted emotional expression there is. It takes no emotional or intellectual effort.

I think, on the other hand, not only is this mother abusive, but she's also crazy. Her kids should definitely be taken away. She needs mental help.
