Insane...

 

The Indianapolis woman quoted biblical Scripture in court documents. She said that a parent who "spares the rod, spoils the child," and: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol."

The woman, a Burmese refugee granted political asylum in the U.S., also is pointing to cultural differences as part of her defense. 

Kin Park Thaing said she stopped her son from dangerous behavior that would have seriously harmed his 3-year-old sister. Thaing, documents say, hit both children with a plastic coat hanger before telling them to pray for forgiveness.

A doctor at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health found 36 bruises across the boy's back, thigh and left arm. Three photographs submitted to the court show deep purple lines striping the boy's back and several welts on his arm. The boy has one curved bruise on his cheek in the shape of a hook on a coat hanger.

Hiding behind the bible is the first stupid act she did. She should live the Bible first before using  punishment. After jail, she should be sent back to Burma.  Just a thought.
