We weren't supposed to see.

The Indiana mother exercised discretion. She looked left, then right. She found no witnesses. So she turned her attention to her 4-year-old daughter.

Then the beating began.

Video images are hard to refute. So are staggering statistics: more than 3 million reported child abuse cases a year.

You witnessed just one. Imagine them all.

"What that mother did to her child is done by millions of mothers and fathers every year," says Richard Gelles, the University of Pennsylvania's interim dean of social work and a professor of social welfare.

Parenting can mean conflict. But this was not that. This was a crime.
