neglect

Three children ages 7, 3, and 11 months were found abandoned in house in Lake Stevens, Washington.  It was a debt collector who notified police after several visits to the home where he only spoke to the 7-year old.  The children were padlocked inside the house.

It makes me angry when I see a child being disrespectful to an adult, but I would never go and get physical with that kid.  A Dollar General employee felt different.  A DG employee was arrested and charged with two felonies after spanking a child with a belt.
