My friend had a teacher from her childs school call CPS... can someone advise?

Her child has been really acting up, she's in 3rd grade. she just switched schools, they lost their home... many things. Her mom is really great, i've known her very well for a few years. our children play together. the child has understandably been acting out. apparently she did something REALLY bad and her mom, who has never spanked, got a belt and hit her 3 times on the butt. the daughter made a smart remark about it not hurting, so the mom got a wooden spoon and hit her again. the next day at school the teacher heard the daughter say something, checked and there was a bruise.

what course of action should the mom take. she is devasted. they didn't take the child. what happens next? i think the mom said she does have to go to court. what can she do to rectify this situation.

CPS much prefers to keep a child in the home with the parent.One isolated incidence will not be problem. They most likely will recommend counseling which quite frankly would be a good idea. It will help the child work through her problems and help the Mom to find ways to deal with her child.
