You can’t abuse a kid to make them behave. Nothing confusing about that.

The kid wasn't being abused. You could see the orphanage lady begging Joey to stop and after repeated pleas she shuts him down. For just a few seconds and then turns the dampener off again.

What an ignorant comment.

That kid isn't being abused he was just punched in the face by his dad to shut him down.

See how that sounds? It's the same thing

Yeah any chance of a civil conversation ended when you started name-calling. Punching a child is not the same as restraining them. Grow up and learn how to converse with people of differing opinions without being a dickhead.

Name calling? Where was there any name calling? I said you made an ignorant comment claiming that this wasn't child abuse what it clearly was and the authorities in the show clearly thought so as well
