I agree with this. Try and get advice before going to CPS.

Personally I would let them know that although they have been instructed to bite their child it's not developmentally appropriate advice and that leaving a bruise is likely not what the DR meant. I think I would sternly tell the parents that you don't want to see bruising anymore.

The thing about this situation is that they're doing what they were told my a medical professional so it's not like they're abusing their kid maliciously. This is why people need to stop going to their DR's for behavior management advice. They get ZERO training whatsoever in it....
