The morale of the story...no matter what age kids are, if they provoke you, beat the shit out of them
So the moral of the story is child abuse?
Do you you also think it's OK to shake babies if they provoke you by crying a lot?
Well, babies don't provoke you, but if some kid hit me in the nuts or something and attempted to keep hitting me, I would backhand 'em and make 'em cry so they couldn't do any more.
That's still child abuse... as an adult you should be able to deal with children's tantrums and fits without resorting to violence.
I'm sure that the police, the NSPCC, the courts and the big nasty men in prison wouldn't care much that the child kicked you in the nuts first, attacking children is wrong, no exceptions.
I've been punched in the nuts before by a friend's 6 year old kid who was copying something he saw on TV, never for one second did I think it would be appropriate to hit him back.
However, if you're worried about the threat of attacks from children, then maybe you should learn some restraining techniques (like the ones used by doctors and nurses who work with children with mental difficulties), just so you don't have to strike them in the head and end up in prison, or worse.
