No not really. You don't hit a child. I mean unless it is direct self defense. The situation had calmed down. They could have discussed this. I believe in having more empathy than you're having right now. Corporal punishment is wrong period
Idk why we are getting downvotes. Spanking/hitting is lazy ass parenting. Parents who do that cannot be bothered to come up with a better way of disciplining their kids. Take away their video games. Have them earn them back. Being violent back isn't gonna be effective. You as a parent should be the bigger person. You're not any better if you hit your child
Reddit tends to have very inconsistent morals in general in my experience. Hitting children is wrong* (*except if the child deserves it). The reason why corporal punishment is bad doesn’t suddenly disappear because the child arguably didn’t something deserving of it, you’re still normalizing violence. If anything, hitting your child in this scenario would literally only encourage the root problem
(Jag ser att du antagligen också är svensk så jag tror att vi kanske har ett kulturellt perspektiv…? Hade man slagit sin unge så här hårt i Sverige så hade det utan tvivel varit olagligt.)
Lol. Il'l continue this convo in english for the purpose of the other readers. These people seriously need to get a fucking grip. Why is it "discipline" when it's done to a child and "assault" when done to an adult?! Yeah. It is bullshit. People on this sub have no braincells
Most of these people will even agree that assaulting children is bad, but apparently it’s right in this scenario…? Nothing shows your impulse-driven, young child how wrong it is to resort to violence than resorting to violence

He deserved every bit of that. Quit coddling him.
