Slap your child, go to China? That's the predicament Hou-Lin Li and Luying Deng are facing in Chicago. The immigrant couple had slapped their daughter, who'd admitted to forging one of her parents' signature on a teacher's note and lying about the loss of a ring that had been a birthday gift. A cop saw the red-faced girl crying and arrested the parents. Prosecutors have rejected a plea bargain that would keep mother, father, and even daughter from being deported. The trial on domestic battery charges is set for Monday.
