as an NRI myself I feel sorry for the problems this family is facing - however if this gentleman was according abuse to his young child, this is unfortunate..
I like to request the Techie community in Andhra and Hyd area that at times when both the parents are working and the young children are left alone, this can create child behavior issues...
having said this I must confess that I also beat my son but only when he was older enough to take the cane, not when he was so small and young age..
teaching a lesson to children is a parents right but abuse is a different story
comments welcome please ??
