YTA, that kid is clearly a piece of work but you're stronger and bigger than him. You didn't need to strike him so hard to get away from him. You never need to hit a 9 y/o so hard he has a bruise for several days. Letting him hit xou until he calms down was nit your only option.

why didn't you call his mother if she was so close?

Oh yes cause the mom has been doing such a bang up job....

Two adults could restrain a nine your old.

Her "parenting style" isn't my cup of tea either but beating children has yet to fix anything ever.

Yes but would the mom do anything or would she just stand there and whine at him to stop from the sidelines? Imma bet she would be useless and op just get hurt.
