Child Beater

(This is a fictional poem but this really does happen to people.) I met your son today and I noticed that he has bruises on his skin. You've been beating on him but you won't do it again. I was in shock, I couldn't believe what I saw. You've beat him time and time again and I just called the law. Your son had tears in his eyes when he said that you beat his mama too. I was shocked when he said that even after all you've done, he still loves you. You are disgusting and you've put your family through hell. But you won't do it again because you'll be in jail. Beating on your wife and son was a terrible thing to do. You are a coward and your family will be better off without you.
