It's important to try not to cry or get mad when the kids say something like this, even though it breaks your heart. I usually try to validate their worth. I say in a calm voice. "Yes, I remember hearing about that. It is never okay for an adult to beat a child, and I am so sorry that happened to you." and then move on, unless the child continues talking.
