Counselling?

Went to Senja to do some counselling work after morning gongyo. It was intended for a primary3 boy(Bryan) who was said to be so rebellious that his parents were at a loss of what to do. I finally understood why when we reached there.

Bryan was so afraid of strangers that he refused to listen to us. We had a taste of his rebellious nature when he started running around the house & actually overturned dining chairs.
The worst part was when his father went to get a belt & actually whipped him a couple of times.
I had the urge to step forward cuz bryan certainly did not deserve that kind of punishment. But who was i to stop him?
I could not even describe that feeling in words.
Luckily bryan cooled down so renna & i actually had a chance to speak to him.

I believe Bryan has a bright future but he lacks the attention & love from his parents.
It is my first time witnessing a case of domestic violence & i really don't wish to see any more of such episodes.
