IMHO, the final arbiter on whether or not it was justified is the slapee. If she walked away saying to herself, "oh my god, I can't believe that I tried to grab a strange kid! Thank god the parents were there to set me straight!", then it's not a big deal. The fact that she didn't stick around to say anything says to me that it was a minor slight at best and that you probably shouldn't spend much time worrying about it.
