The kid was smacked. Then the father CONTINUED the attack. Should he loose his job, not sure about that yet. Kid pushed buttons? Yep, that's what kids do. But I see this on a regular basis. Parents will say their hands are tied because they can't discipline. But those same parents still allow the kids cell phones, video games, computer time and other privileges. Hands aren't tied, parents just don't want to parent because it's inconvenient to them.
