Are you feeling guilty? Look, what this guy did is flat out wrong. If you are doing the same or similar, you are also wrong. Defending abuse, facilitating it, dismissing it, is wrong. Disciplining a kid is one thing, but what we saw in the picture and report is beyond that, deserves action, investigation. Is that all he does to her, what else occurs?
Not at all. My kids (most of whom are grown up) love me and think I am fun to be around.
Look, what this guy did is flat out wrong.
I disagree. It looks foolish and wrong headed, but does not rise to the level of "abuse" in my opinion. The man should be talked to, but without evidence of bruises on the child, not further action should be taken.
Defending abuse, facilitating it, dismissing it, is wrong.
Falsely accusing people of abuse is also wrong. I would like to see false accusers go to jail. Perhaps then they would exercise more caution before making accusations against others.

If she was frightened of him she wouldn't likely have been acting out in public, now would she?
That implies that he lets her run amok at home, and therefore he has to take extra steps to make her behave in public.
I've seen a lot of children who are simply ignored by their parents until they embarrass them in public. Then the parents crack down on a problem they should have been dealing with at home.
“Look, what this guy did is flat out wrong.”
Says you. Cowardly parents that never discipline their child beyond annoying them and everyone around them saying their name over and over, “Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, “
