If someone hits your child, the priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. If the child is injured, seek medical attention immediately. If the incident occurred in a public place or the presence of other individuals, ask for their contact information in case they can provide witness testimony or other evidence.

In addition to attending to your child’s physical needs, it’s important to take steps to protect your child from further harm. This may include reporting the incident to local law enforcement or child protective services. Criminal charges may be appropriate depending on the incident’s severity and the child’s age.

If you decide to report the incident to authorities, be prepared to provide as much information as possible about the incident, including the identity of the person who hit your child, any witnesses who were present, and any evidence that may be available, such as video footage or photographs.

It’s important to remain calm and composed throughout the process and to seek support from loved ones or mental health professionals if necessary. Witnessing your child being hit can be a traumatic experience, and it’s important to take steps to care for your emotional well-being and your child’s.
