My son has hauled off and smacked his sister right in the head for something stupid (she of coarse smacked him back harder and they both started crying) but the disassociation with pain being inflicted on another person is sometimes lost on children that age , they really have no clue of the consequences of their actions as emotions are not under control yet. What this kid did was not the same. He had plenty of time to think that it was wrong and it wasn't like lashing out with a punch.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
