Is it wrong or right
First of all!!! I don't want to come off as a advocate of the boyfriend by all means. I do want to say that there are always 3 sides to a story, the truth and the other parties involved. I don't think the boyfriend should be putting hands on the kids and he is not the husband. I work with gang involved youth for the past 8 years and one of reason they are so disrespectful is the fact that parents don't dicipline, teach and continue consistency. Where is the dad? does he spend the needed time for a 12 year old boy? If the boyfriend is doing what fathers do such as providing, teaching, talking and spending quality time in the place of the real father, I could understand his frustration. Who knows what the kid does when no one else is around, what type of student he is etc.... I say review the facts then determine a opinon.

Is the child overweight? What names did the boyfriend call him?
ETA:
I am curious because the child might already be using food to cope (i.e. the french fries) in this instance. If the boyfriend was then calling him out his name, again it emotional abuse on top of the physical.

I would have went off. At the very minimum I would have pulled the mama to the side and got on her for letting him do that. Now I am not in possessions of all the facts I am only getting a snipet of what you are telling me but....sometimes women like what they perceive a "strong" man. And she probably feels like she is fortunate to have him. I on the other hand want to scream WAKE UP!!!! to these young girls. I am so sick and tired of seeing women take bottom of the barrel men for the sake of not being alone. So what you are alone. You rather see your children abused. That is just selfish. Sorry you hit a sore spot with me. This is my biggest pet peeve.
OMG...As most of you know I am engaged and my fiance pays the bills, well majority, and I have custody of my 8 year old brother and his father is VERY involved and voluntarility pays me child support, NEITHER of these men are allowed to beat my brother under no cir****tances, His father beat him once and it was a BIG deal and now he knows to call me when it is an issue, My fiance knows better, but she needs help, I would NEVER tolerate that.
