Man arrested for smacking 11-year-old boy who allegedly bullied his step-daughter

DEER PARK, Texas- A man was arrested by police after he slapped an 11-year-old boy for allegedly  bullying his step-daughter.

According to KTRA-TV, James Peace was charged with felony injury to a child, after he was caught on surveillance video near the scene, that shows him yelling at the boy and then sapping him.

Peace’s wife says that court records don’t tell the entire story. She says that her husband was defending her daughter, after she was walking home from school and the 12-year-old boy bullied her. She said he called her names, threw ice-cream at and rocks.

The little girl called home and asked to be picked up. That’s when Peace arrived, confronting the boy.

Police say that the little boy suffered red marks to his face, swelling to his upper jaw and cheek.

The mother said her husband’s emotions got the best of him, adding “I do not agree with what he did, he took it too far, he did,” she said.

What this man did was wrong, but please talk to your kids about bullying..
