Respectfully BBM.
No, not if an adult lay a hand on my child: Hell, No. I would go at them if I felt my children were in danger.
But...Yes, when other children in the sandbox, etc. swatted my children. Yes. No hands-by me on the other child. No way. And if my toddler, child struck back-I would verbally correct them (my child). No hands. Use your words. Call an adult, etc.
In a vet's office the kid should have been under her direct control at all times; vet offices are dicey places with potential high drama. The man was irritable, the cat was stressed, the child was hyper and obnoxious, the mom was letting the "rest of the world" raise her kid.
Bad situation all around. The mom should have been minding her child, and when a slightly embarrassing situation took place because she wasn't minding her child she NEVER should have called 911.
The kid wasn't hurt and wouldn't even remember this. The mother was the offended/embarrassed/injured party here.
