  West Palm Beach, Fl - What American society now clearly defines as child abuse was, in decades past, tragically common. In the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s, many children endured what was then dismissed as “discipline” but would today be called out for what it truly was, physical beatings and verbal cruelty that left invisible scars.
