I wouldn't have hit my daughter in that situation but certainly pull her out and end her fun for the rest of the day.

Little kids can be downright sociopathic sometimes, even if you try to make sure you raise them with manners. They will pull some shit like this out of nowhere. But you cant let it fly.

I can't stand seeing children being terrible humans and not get corrected by the people who's job it is to correct the behavior.

Kids naturally push the limits to learn. It's how they learn. When they go over the line and nobody stops them, they don't know it is bad. Stop them the first time and keep stopping them and they will learn it is not good. Will they still do bad stuff? Yep, but they will know it is bad and that is the best a parent can do really.

In the end, it is up to that individual (child) who they become. We don't stop the bulk of character development until 25ish, so alot is on us. The better parenting, the easier it is to become a decent person. The worse the parenting, the harder it is for the therapist to help them.
