[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in shock about how many people here are condoning child abuse. If an adult slapped another adult it would absolutely be an arrest able assault and battery. Why do you think that is OK? If a husband slaps a wife because she said something rude, that would have to be OK too. WTAF is wrong with you people? This is much worse to do to a child than an adult and can have lasting life-long repercussions.

Emotionally mature adults don't slap anyone for words. She's been traumatized already by a divorce and now her mother slaps her in the face too. The therapist had to report this. Nothing will happen to you as a result (other than relationship deterioration) but it absolutely was child abuse. I promise you she will never forget that you did that and you have lost any chance of her respecting you. You can't discipline well without their respect, all you can do now is punish her. Your emotional immaturity needs therapy asap.[/quote]

It was a slap when the kids behavior was out of control.  It was not ok, but given the situation OP lost it when the kid was behaving so poorly.  Mom's not saying she was right, she just said it happened.  The bigger issue is the behavior that lead up to mom taking kid's phone, the fact that kid knows she can manipulate dad, etc.[/quote]
