Actually happened to one of my wife's students parents. My wife teaches second grade and one little boy was having a bad day. My wife wrote a note to his mother and the little boy gave it to her. The next day whne he came to class my could not get him to sit down. She finally took him down to the nurses office where they found open gashes wheer his mother had whipped that night after reading the note. DSS was called and the mother was arrested. Three weeks later she was back in jail on drug charges among other things.
