"Hit" is too strong of a word for it. "Touch" is more appropriate. The dad said he "clocked him in the face".
I saw the video on Fox this morning.
Ridiculous!
The boy is FOURTEEN and it is OBVIOUS that he and Tigger are "rough housing" and playing around. Tigger barely slaps him across the face and he punches Tigger back. You can tell the boy is laughing his head off during the entire incident! I smell a lawsuit. The dad is hoping to make some $$$$$.
