““[t]he decision in Petition of Jane Doe acknowledges that conduct causing minor injuries may constitute abuse if recurring injury or a threat of recurring injury is demonstrated. This is exactly the case here. [The respondent] intentionally struck her 6 year-old son with a belt across his bare buttocks about 6 times, causing linear bruises which were still visible after 5 days. Such ‘strappings’ had been occasioned to Ethan in the past as deemed required by his misbehavior .... [The respondent] also demonstrated her intent to continue to discipline her son in this manner in the future.

The Court finds that Ethan has been abused by the conduct of [the respondent].””
