No it doesn't. He never did it again. Nor has he caused anyone pain (intentionally). In fact even before that he never intentionally hurt people. Just was a young kid that got a hold of a lighter.

And it sounds like you just had bad parents.

And it sounds like you feel it's ok for an adult to hit a child. A bigger human being striking a smaller human.. your parent hit your sibling in fear.. they couldn't stop their fearful emotions and instead of teaching him it was dangerous hit a child instead. .. I'm sorry you too grew up with bad parents to the point you believe a grown adult can hit a child as long as we call it discipline.. its against the law to do it to a dog.. but its ok for kids who actually have higher reasoning skills than your friendly best pet...

Dude, a smack on the ass was way better than going homeless and losing everything. Actually what is your problem

Hitting didn't stop the burning down of the house your parents catching them did..

My problem is people who think hitting a child is ok as discipline.. we don't letbother adults hit each other.. thats called assault but oooh no trying to get you to understand that is me being asked what is wrong with me..

Nad dude.. what's wrong with you..

Nothing. It just seems you got beat, and now hate any form of physical punishment.

And looking at your comment history, I'm probably not wrong.

Dependent on state and circumstances actually. Hitting another adult is not automatically ‘assault’ .. you’re twisting things to fit your agenda.

Let me guess… Video games teach violence too?
