The man is there for his kids, a lot better then a large minority of fathers out there. He disciplined his kid like he was disciplined as a child. If you were NOT disciplined with corporal punishment as a child, you are all aghast. Well the jury is still out on whether it works or not. One thing for sure, it works a lot better then no discipline at all.
I hate to extend politics into the funnies, but I have to wonder how many proponents here of physical punishment of children also consider it appropriate for wives who disobey.
I endured corporal punished and I am aghast. Barbarity is barbarity, and I’m sure that beating a child is not better than (“then” expresses only time, not a comparison) knowing how to guide and correct it in an adult way.Obedience through fear is the goal of tyrants, not parents.

He has a lot of kids by a lot of mothers so somewhere there’s a betting pool that this will happen again……Very depressing.
