Violence Against Children - A family Tradition (TEDx, Robbyn Peters Bennett)

This short (13 min) TEDx video clearly articulates what is wrong with hitting babies & children (and legislators in Kansas lobbying for the right to leave bruises on children).  Passed down generation after generation, sticks, paddles, and open hand hitting all leave mental health marks that result in compensating behaviors, poor brain development, and the next generation of parents beating their children.  If you know someone that hits their child, or lives in Kansas, send this link to them.

**6 million children are reported to child protection services in the U.S. each year  **Only a fraction of these children receive the help they need to lead productive lives.
