I think trying to arrest the mom for making his son walk is stupid, although red lights would go up at the boy telling the policeman about how his mom would beat him if he was sent home.
there's a difference between a beating and a simple spanking to me. "a beating" to me means whipping the boy all over with a belt, or maybe punching him repeatedly. now THAT would qualify as child abuse. It just strikes me as odd that the boy would use the word "beat" instead of the word "spank".
I would have both the boy and the mother clarify by what they meant by using that word to make sure that there was no actual physical abuse going on. aside from that, If I was a judge I'd just throw out the case and maybe fine the rest of the people for wasting the courts' time with such a trivial matter.
