They would have to identify this guy’s remains from dental records if he’d laid a hand on my child.
There is a HUGE difference between good folks like you and the majority of idiots out there posing as parents these days.
Most parents these days would rather be "friends" with their kids rather than be PARENTS.
Mr. Stephens has probably had just about enough of these "friend" parents, and just had a reactionary snap.
I don't blame him at all.
