There are very few things that irritate me more than a physical assault of a child. How can a grown nan possibly justify punching a seven-year-old girl in the face. I’m curious how he is going to explain this to the judge. Actually, I don’t really care what his “reasons” may have been; there is absolutely no justification for doing what he allegedly did. I just hope that this child has no lasting injuries, physical or otherwise.
