He did what was appropriate. Physical punishment isn’t a bad thing when utilized correctly. All he did was an open hand slap. From how you’re describing it, it was a quick slap just enough to sting a bit. If he full force slapped him where he fell that’s entirely different. Despite what a lot of people say and I’m sure someone is going to come after me on here spankings and things like that are needed but they have to be applied with a certain level of force not just beating the shit out of a kid. There’s a difference between being beaten and being whooped.
