The video shows that the woman sat on the sofa with the child in her arms, suspected of having a quarrel with a man over the topic of who took the child, and then, the man suddenly walked in front of the woman, in front of the child, slapped the woman 9 times in a row, the woman apologized and begged for mercy while crying, and the children around her were also scared and cried, but the man still didn't stop and kept scolding.
The brutal and violent scene that should not have appeared in the family deeply pierced the nerves of netizens, the man, as an elder, beat up the younger generations in the family, and even disregarded the young children next to him, which was really bad. Many people are upset about the woman's experience, and some people are worried that their children will also be beaten, so everyone has commented and forwarded, persuading the woman to call the police immediately, not condoning domestic violence, and calling on relevant departments to intervene in a timely manner to curb domestic violence and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women and children.

Judging from the official report, the local police intervened in a timely manner, and the incident occurred at 9 o'clock in the evening, and the police arrived at the scene at about 9:30 to deal with it, and let the perpetrator leave the woman's home, which should be to prevent the conflict from escalating and avoid further violence. Next, it is necessary to investigate and collect evidence in accordance with relevant regulations, assist the victim in seeking medical treatment, evaluate the injury, find out whether the perpetrator has committed other violent acts, and provide psychological counseling to the victim and the frightened child to prevent them from being entangled in the shadow of violence.
The circumstances of this case are simple and the responsibilities are clear, and the perpetrators should be punished in accordance with the relevant laws, and at least they should be admonished and educated, so that they realize the mistakes of their own behavior and dare not commit them again, and use the force of the law to protect the safety and health of women and children, and maintain equal, harmonious, and civilized family relations.
The reason why this incident is particularly shocking and angry is because the father-in-law's violence against his daughter-in-law is so easy and inexplicable. At the time of the incident, there was no fierce quarrel between the woman and her father-in-law, but there were only some minor arguments, so why was she treated so violently? As an old man in the family, her father-in-law should maintain a friendly relationship of mutual respect and care for each other, so how could he so condescendingly beat up his grandchildren's mother? Nine slaps in a row were not only a physical injury to others, but also a trampling on the dignity of others. If it is not healed and repaired in time, there will always be wounds in the victim's psyche and there will be rifts in family relations that are difficult to heal.
It has been eight years since the implementation of the "Anti-Domestic Violence Law", and anti-domestic violence publicity activities have been carried out, and the concept of "zero tolerance for domestic violence" has become increasingly popular. Some people with higher status in the family and control affairs have weak legal knowledge and a lack of equality concept, and are accustomed to using physical violence to suppress the weaker party in the family, so as to vent their violent emotions and satisfy their deformed self-esteem and desire for control. Such a barbaric and uncivilized mentality and practice not only seriously undermines family relations and affects social stability, but also endangers the healthy growth of the next generation.
No contradiction can become the fuse of domestic violence, anti-domestic violence is the common responsibility of society and every family, online public opinion can only arouse attention, effectively solve the problem, but also rely on the joint efforts of all sectors of society, common responsibility. Victims must not swallow their anger, they must know how to protect themselves, and stop losses in a timely manner; relevant departments should take the initiative to attack, coordinate and cooperate, and improve the working mechanism; only by unremittingly creating a social environment of "zero tolerance for domestic violence" can the perpetrators be fearful, the victims be emboldened, and domestic violence should be nipped in the bud, and the harmony and happiness of every family should be protected.
