Of course, seeing what extreme forms of abuse of this (and other types) can do, I think my perspective might be skewed towards protecting the interests of the children.
Now in this case, the kid isn't really a kid, but that doesn't suddenly make it right.
edit: Just a disclaimer, I was spanked with a belt as a kid and I don't have a problem with anyone spanking their kids at all, I just think the line between spanking and beating was crossed here.

He hit the kid in the best possible spot! If he was really trying to do damage he would have went for his back or head.
I think he did a great job of punishing the kid and showing restraint.
I was also hit with a belt as a kid and I'm thankful I was.
