Very often kids don’t listen especially when they get into their moods. Also if the father doesn’t want to talk during laining and he needs to drag his disobedient kid out of shul he has no choice but to grab him or her firmly and march him or her out. I didn’t witness the situation but even if I did I really wouldn’t know how hard the father was holding her. However I am pretty sure that if he was hurting her she would have started crying or said ow ouch it hurts or started screeching or something similar. So lets not brand people as child abusers over a minor incident. As much as you think you will be the perfect father you will also get it wrong many times and I hope nobody sees and judges you the way you are judging this man. Lets not be so busy with how this guy parents his kid when it is possible and quite likely under the circumstances that he had no other choice but to firmly walk her out so as not to disrupt the laining.
