I’m from the States and have spent a more than a decade living in other countries, and have had plenty of time to see how people around the world interact with their (and other people’s) children. I have to agree with you that this really doesn’t seem like a big deal.
It looks really bad from a western perspective, especially for people that have no understanding of other cultures.
Do I agree with it, no. That’s just my personal preference though. He didn’t backhand, punch, or otherwise harm the child, and the child didn’t even seem phased by it.
Had he done this in a country other than Turkey it may be newsworthy, this just seems like rage bait.
