RE: Children and food from strangers

Hello @kingsleyy, We ask you to remove references to beating children. We recognize that you stopped the woman from beating the children (hooray!), but we prefer if you refer to punishment, rather than beating. Some other author do not refer to beatings with such sensitivity, and they won't understand why your reference may be less offensive.

Thank you, and thank you for rescuing the children.

Okayy.
Sorry about that.
I didn't really see the 'beating' as harsh but now I know better.

It's been corrected

Thank you, but there is still this sentence in the story

Please stop beating them

Perhaps you can say simply, "Please stop". That would make sense. We all can imagine bad things are happening, but you don't actually say it.

We are going to curate your story in the expectation that you will make the change. Thank you.

Sorry for the stress.
It's been removed.
Thank you
