Not sure why I chuckled at that, but I did.
I think they both were wrong but the para shouldn't touch the kids.
para grabbed the kid to turn him around because the kid had his back towards him. Like if that were my kid I would've wanted someone to pop him right in the mouth, but again he can't touch the kids. I didn't get into details but, before any of that happened I took the kid out to address his behavior. He came back in, and blurted out, "what's wrong with saying the word what? I could say what if I want to!" When the para said responding with what isn't respectful, it should be "yes" because you weren't being addressed disrespectfully the kid argued that he could respond however he wanted. When the para insisted to the kid that responding with what is disrespectful, that's when the kid rose up and started screaming, "who are you? You're not my father! You're not my father!" And started crying and tensing up.
At this point all I could think is, "oh geez, that's the problem? where is this kids father, someone please get this kids father because obviously he has some daddy issues." But I tried to come between the para and the kid.
The para approaches him, and the kid turns his back towards him. The para grabs the kids arm to turn him around and the kid jolts away. He tries again and I put my arm out, and the kid came behind me. Then that's when the kid said he needs to go outside and I told him to go to the principal.
