Carry on.

That sounds dismissive and rather arrogant.
I'd hoped you would stick around to discuss this.
The case may seem open and shut, but look at the responses.
I've seen more violence in this thread than was contained in the OP.
I've heard responses from those who were violently slapped as children
themselves. Perhaps we could discuss how these early childhood
experiences, might shape or color our opinions on this matter?
I've heard some talk about the major adrenaline rush
that they would experience if their children were threatened,
even though they basically espouse a mostly pacifistic mindset.
Violence begets violence.
Surely there can be more to this discussion than what you claim.
What is your sensible conclusion?
If it had been my child, (after she was slapped)
I would of swooped her up in my arms, and ran. I would of run
screaming, "Fear, fire, foes, rape, help help help.", at the top of my lungs.
