You know IMO if a lot more people did things the "old" ways the new generation wouldn't be spoiled, have.it.handed.to.me , i.deserve."it"....at titudes!

Now....leaving many bruises or marks etc. THEN I'd place a call for sure.Spanking is one thing...abuse is another.
I agree with Momma_Mia. You can't rely on a 2 year old's story and if there has been no past history of abuse then it was simply a case of a parent ACTUALLY disciplining their child for a change. Like a pp said, you don't know if it was the 40th time the dad had to put him back to bed or not. I think after that many times I'd probably do the same thing to my child. Bedtime is bedtime...end of story!

So, I'd leave it alone and just write it down to keep track if there are no marks that say he was abused and not just disciplined.
