Is it wrong or right

 Hi everyone I need help with this problem. I'm sitting with my niece and she has two sons well her boyfriend of a year was there to. My niece sends her oldest boy to the store to get bottled water and he comes back with the water and some french fries. Walter says did she tell you to get those fries and her son say no and her boyfriend start flying off the deep end and saying how he don't like it when they don't do what their told and calling the boy all kinds of name and tell him that he going to whip him taking of his belt. My nephew is crying and telling him that he brought the fries with his money. He tell my nephew to hold out his hands on the back  hand side and start****ting them with the belt. I'm looking at my niece like is he serious. The boy is only 12 and all day he just kept on messing with him. Please let me know if I'm wrong for being upset with her for not saying anything.


 

This is abuse.  These kids need help.   If the boyfriend is crazy enough to do this IN FRONT OF YOU there is no telling what goes on behind closed doors.

Is there somebody else in the family who would help you confront your niece about why she allows this kind of behaviour from this man?  If not, are you willing to report this to the authorities? 

 She asked me how I felt about her friend and I told her I don't like what I saw today. I told her that he is just your boyfriend not those kids father and he should not be putting his hands on them.


 

No you are not wrong for being upset and I hope you spoke up at the time this was going on.

 I don't have children yet, and I certainly got my fair share of whippings and a few I didn't deserve growing up but I don't think I would want someone else PHYSICALLY disciplining my child.  Feel free to talk to them, VERBALLY put them in their place, but DON'T LAY A FINGER ON MY CHILD.

Does your niece's boyfriend live with them too?

 No he do not live with them, but they are talking about getting a house together and yes I spoke up. I really did not like it you had to see it my nephew looked so sad and his mother did not say a word


.   

who pay they bills? Shid if you not willing to be the boss of the house and take him in when you start that fire........NO!


Was homeboy wrong YES! I'm sure that had some more background stuff going on too though..

who pay they bills?

Doesn't matter.  Beating a child on the back of his hands with a belt is physical abuse, not to mention the verbal abuse.  There is a huge difference between giving a spanking to discipline versus beating a kid while you are in a blind rage. 

 I agree


 

you spank a 5 y/o he's 12.....he's not a baby!!

What the hell has the bills got to do with anything?  When his ass goes to jail for child abuse,, who's gonna pay the bills then.
