Whatever reason there is, child abuse is never
justified, and it must be stopped. That is why
the government is really stiff in giving
sanctions to those parents who are found to be
abusive to their children. There are also several
law firms that can take care of this issue. In
Richmond BC, you can consult Cohen Buchan
Edwards LLP on any matter concerning Richmond
family law. www.cbelaw.com
