In re H.H., 237 N.C. App. 431 (2014)
Held:
Affirmed in Part
G.S. 7B-101(1)c. defines abuse as using or allowing to be used cruel or grossly inappropriate procedures or devices to modify a child’s behavior. The court’s conclusion that striking the child five times on his leg with a belt that resulted in multiple bruises that were present the next day along with the child’s description of “a beating” supported the adjudication of abuse.
