It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger.

There is an essential difference between someone who harms a child on purpose and someone who harms a child by accident during combat in civilian territory.

It was not uncommon for the children to be told they were being treated this way because it was their bad karma and they must have hurt a child in a past life.

I don't think you can have pain and soul-searching doing the right thing for your child.

I just couldn't imagine hitting a child. But in 'The Slap' it's an extreme situation. You have to ask yourself - would you step in if a child was out of control?

If an adult uses violence on a child, the child will naturally assume that he too, has the right to use it on one smaller or weaker.

I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.

All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma.

Sometimes it seems as though all parents are certain that their children are victims of abuse by other children.
