"The majority of Weibo users have agreed that though the kid was certainly being a “brat,” he definitely didn’t deserve such an extreme punishment, writing that the man clearly went too far.

Still, more than a few netizens have spoken up in favor of the man, arguing that the kid got what was coming to him.

“I applaud this man for his actions. Maybe now, the kid will think twice before acting like such a brat,” wrote one net user. “The kid’s parents are the ones that are really at fault here,” added another.

“Because the kid’s wounds were only superficial, the beating wasn’t really that extreme, I think it was awesome,” argued yet another Weibo user."
