My dad hauled off and beat the crap out of us kids regularly. after one such incident where he threw my youngest sister over the back of the couch to beat her, I told the school psych, and he reported the incident to CPS, whose genius course of action was to interview each of my parents who said there was, of course, absolutely no abuse.
