This was a clear violation of the mother's grounding rules. The radio was unplugged and the mother and son argued. Loud voices came from the bedroom. Then there was the sound of a slap. This is when the grievant charged into the bedroom with the belief that this boy had slapped his mother.
Later testimony indicates that it was the opposite.
The mother slapped her son. The grievant got between the mother and her son and testified that he felt the boy put his hand on his waist from behind. He spun around and back handed the boy on his face. He admits to a possible infliction of other blows but is not sure. The mother and the grievant argued and the grievant left the dwelling.
