This is a very poor comment.

If you disagree with the method of discipline then say it, don't attack the parent comment's personal character.

I'll agree that thump was a poor choice of words, but child abuse? Seems like a completely unwarranted assessment. I'm guessing they meant something along the lines of a tap on the head to get the child's attention, not a painful physical punishment.
