A quarrel between two children at a residential complex in Greater Noida snowballed into a major altercation between their mothers after one of the women slapped the other’s six-year-old child. The woman slapped the child so hard that he got a bruise on his cheek.

According to reports, the two children fought and one called his mother. The woman lost her temper and slapped the child across his face. When the child’s mother and other women in the locality confronted the woman, she threatened to thrash the child again.

In one of the videos that have now circulated on social media, the woman is heard saying, “Wherever I find him alone, I will slap him.” A woman recording the events on her phone asks the woman, “You tell us, why did you hit the child?” The woman then charges at the woman recording her and slaps her too, causing her phone to fall.
