Hi,
I'm sure even this woman herself now thinks that there was a better wat to handle it and she reacted impulsively in the heat of the moment. I agree with AAAAA, that it easy for people to sit on their pedestals in judgement and condemn her. As parents we all make mistakes, some bigger than others. I think the people around this lady should try to help her learn more positive ways to deal with her childrens fighting and her reaction to them. It's easy to point a finger, but it's better to gently guide and understand why.
