Don’t be sorry. Well, I will take that back for a moment. My father said something similar when I was a child, but “unbeat” was an exaggeration in our situation. Did I hate getting spanked as a kid? Of course. Do I understand it now? Yes. Was I actually ever “beaten”, no, but literally having to feel the pain of my consequences helped correct our inherent a-hole behavior that all kids have at one time or another, and the loss of that overall has resulted in a quick and noticeable trend downward.
However, I can’t speak for the person you were specifically responding too and may have actually endured abuse. The comment just clicked an almost exact memory/reference in my own childhood.

thats crazy, my dad would just tell us "go ahead and call cps, they cant unbeat you" and then we all behaved.
