The devil is in the details, Wizard.

What did the father do when he didn't leave the childs room.

How did he abuse and hit the child

The devil is always in the details. I would have to disagree, sometimes what you don't say is more powerful than any word. I am pretty sure everyone knows what happened when the father remained in the room. Eh... in this case less is not more, it's just less. I know a few people who had been through hell and back, and telling me in a story "X was abused" doesn't do it for me. I need the details to feel for them. It's no longer shameful to admit your own suffering as it used to be two, or three decades ago. Back then the admittion of abuse was enough to shock people, today, I think it has a less of a punch without the full story.

We all know? Do we now? I mean the possiblities are many yet still.
