I'm not sure how old you are..and don't take this the wrong way, ....but today moms can't do that...when I was a kid, my mom would have down the same thing...( and she did)...however, today, you can't spank your child in public without going to jail!!

I can and do spank my child anytime she deserves discipline. She is better off for this, she is sweet, caring, understands her limits set by her mother and I. I just dont get how parents can discipline without showing whats right and wrong. Talking to them will only get you so far as a parent.

We don't know the full story, really. Does this 9 year old have a history of being violent to her sister? Maybe the mom felt like she couldn't do anything to this 9 year old because nothing she tried worked.
Not saying I agree with the mom here, but we don't know the entire story, so I'm not going to judge.

I don't think any of us can comment properly on this as we have no background on the kids and parent. Previous behaviour, history of the family life....
