So answer the question, if it did damage to your eye or your wife or daughter, would you feel as forgiving. It might not take the eye out but damage can be done.
Also, another issue is that it shows a general lack of respect and discipline. If you won't make an example of this one, where will you make the stand? When the kid has a fist in your face?
