Okay, first I do NOT want to start a spanking vs. anti spanking debate! But something happened yesterday and I am ANGRY and need some advice.

My 5 year old son loves playing with his 16 year old uncle who lives next door. For reasons I do not want to really get into here, I am not fond of this uncle, and I am always a bit leary (sp?) about him.

Yesterday Jacob and his uncle were wrestling and apparently Jacob somehow (accident or not I do not know and doesnt matter) hit him in the mouth. His uncle spanked him. I did not know this until I called Jacob home and got him and his brother into the bath and saw the very red, welt in the shape of a hand on his bottom. In fact he said it hurt so bad he couldnt sit in the tub.

My husband went over there and basically threatened his life if he ever touched our son again. But this morning there is a bruise on his little bottom and I am spitting mad.

Do I let it go since DH went over and talked to him? What would you do?
