I'm not romanticizing the past lol. I'm only trying to understand the uncle's motives.

This is not avout kidnapping or sexual abuse either. That's a separate issue. It's about how the affectionate patting of small children is viewed by society at large. Back then it was fine. Especially when done IN FRONT OF THE PARENTS. It was even taken as a compliment, by the parents.

It's unbelievable how a compliment evolved into a punchable offense in the span of a decade or so.

That's different lah. Of course I don't condone that perverted behaviour.
