I asked myself if I would want my mother, sister or daughter (if I had one) placed in that situation in the video? Truthfully, we all know the answer.
The issue of the credibility of the young lady is a separate issue.

I'll be honest, if ANYONE I knew, including a mother, sister or daughter, lied about having cancer to extort money, lied about their parent's death to extort money, lied about being pregnant, lied about having a miscarriage, and deliberately set someone up on camera and splashed it on the internet...
**I couldn't care less if they got slapped.**
Sorry I just can't accept that. No matter what the provocation, it is contingent upon us to demonstrate discipline and restraint.
If your child was with someone who was mentally abusing them, mentally torturing them with fabrications about dead parents, cancer, miscarriages, extorting money from your child, trashing your child's reputation and character, wrecking their career... your advice to your child would be "it's contingent on you to be disciplined"?
I would hope the advice would be to get as far away from them as possible and not abuse the person as some here are suggesting!
That would be my advice too, but I certainly wouldn't get all preachy if after all that they were caught on camera dropping a c bomb.
Funnily enough I have used that word once in my life, to my dad in an argument when I was 16 in front of all my mates. Dad actually put a short left onto my chin when I said it, last time I have ever used that word. I am a person who against violence, I have never even smacked my daughter, but I will say that taught me a very valuable lesson.
I am struggling to understand the point that this post is making. That the C word is foul and should not be used, but you used it once and were subjected to a physical assault by a family member (which these days, if reported, would result in charges and AVO' s against your father) which taught you to watch your language.
You have understandably not adopted the same physical discipline against your daughter, but it is unclear what would happen if she dropped C bombs.
Are you saying that being belted taught you a lesson that you may not have learned otherwise, or that what your father did was an overreaction regardless of what had come out of your mouth to trigger it?
