Wait, what? I know there wasn't abuse. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. And I definitely didn't mean to suggest that your thoughts about this weren't valid. Of course they are. It would be awful to slap your child out of frustration and then tell your T, and then be reported to social services for it.
I guess my point was that in this case the system worked the way it was supposed to. There wasn't any abuse, so GSE wasn't reported. But her T considered whether there was abuse, which I thought was a good thing. I just meant that there was a lot of legal stuff, and big time training behind the T's hesitation. And if there *had been* abuse, and GSE's T had reported it, there might have been some good aspects to that, in terms of protecting an abused child.
Really, I didn't mean to offend, or suggest that this wasn't a scary episode for GSE. I'm not exactly sure what I said that was offensive, but I'll try to be more careful about how I word things in the future.
