“beat”?? More like “punched”! That’s a boxing injury! What person in their right mind would punch any child?
Like any parent here, the wife would like to volunteer to help this “mom” up and down the courthouse steps for any upcoming hearings and “parenting classes” before she ever sees this child again.

Poor innocent boy. You’re right about that punch being potentially fatal for even full-grown adult boxers:

Reads Sota will recover but no mention here if there’s family to care for him since his “birth mother” is obviously NOT fit.
Hopefully, he’ll get a more deserving and loving family.
