Get knocked unconscious by his dad.
He turned out just fine, so presumably that's okay then?
For every kid beaten who does just great there are others scarred for life.
You're working on a sample size of one and thinking that's makes physical abuse okay.
Experts see it differently.
I never felt abused at all. I was never hit with a fist or a club or a chair or any such thing. My mother used a switch which was really a twig from a tree. In school our teachers used a ping pong or badminton paddle. Maybe I had an occasional red bottom or red mark on my hand but that paled in comparison to the loose teeth, bloody noses, bruises, and sprains that all of us kids got from jumping off roofs, boxing, and intentionally riding our bikes off cliffs ala Evel Knievel.
I know things were different in Europe. My friend has told me about caneings and what he described as "other manner of perversions perpetrated by teachers on students" including having a soccer ball kicked into his bare rear end.
