That is simply sad so sad, there is never ever a excuse for any form of hitting of a child, your child, my child, anyones child. I am againist any form of disapline when its comes to putting your hands on your child. Having a child requires the upmost patience.We never ever put our hands on our child,so when I witness or hear stories as such, its breaks my heart as well. Hopefully the camera's wer able to catch the license on their camera's.There are so many other forms of disapline.Peace. Catherine
