*Trigger Warning: child abuse and violence.* 
In today's episode, we want to bring awareness to a topic that we are passionate about, and that is spanking and child abuse. For us, hitting your child is never the answer to correct or change behavior. We discuss  general facts and statistics when it comes to child abuse and share some things we’ve seen that inspired us to make this episode. 
If you or anyone you know is a victim of abuse, speak up! The National Domestic Violence Hotline is confidential and available for free 24/7. Call 1-800-799-SAFE, that’s 1-800-799-7233 or text ‘START’ to 88788.
For Florida child abuse specifically; you can report to the FL Dept of Children and Families at 1-800-962-2873, or dial 711 or Report Online at https://reportabuse.dcf.state.fl.us/
