[quote=Anonymous]Get perspective people. DH's dad had no issues with smacking him across the mouth if he and his siblings were being mouthy or back-talking. He grew up in PA. His dad was not abusive, not an alcoholic or drug user, but he commanded respect. This style of parenting was common in this area. Unless the kid in question is showing signs of abuse, a random slap across the face is not abuse. It may not be the appropriate response for many people, but its not abuse. You were not directly involved in the situation and are taking this story from a 10 yr old who "saw" the kid being hit. It doesn't sound like he heard or knew what led up to the hit.[/quote]
