My father tried to tell the cop he was disciplining his kids too.
It worked with the rookie cop, but after I called the police the second time & requested a seasoned officer (I was 17 at the time) that officer came & drew his gun & told my father to sit on the chair & NOT to move a muscle.
He wasn't hitting us that night, he was insisting on 'sleeping' with my mom. She was in the process of divorcing him. He had been sleeping in the family room but came home drunk that night.
My Mom & the fours daughters moved out that night until we got an order of protection a few weeks later.
My 'dad' used a belt not a switch....
