or:It's my impression that people were not even aware of the concept of \"abuse\" then.Lawmakers had no authority over children until the marriage license was invented after the civil war. The license created a three way corporation consisting of a man, a woman, and the state, for the purpose of producing children. Before that, parents had sole custody of children.
