On Wednesday, the Drive team answered a WTF question from a listener.

"We have a six-year-old son who says one of the other kids in the complex often hits him. The other day, he came home crying. My husband insists that my son must hit the child back. He says that’s how he was brought up and my son must be tough. I’m totally against this, but my husband is adamant."

KZN listeners came out in numbers and helped with advice. Most of them were for the child fighting back, but is that the correct thing to do, though?
We also asked our Facebook fans to share their thoughts on the matter.
We also received a voice note from Lisa Grant-Smith, a Counselling Psychologist in Ballito who wrapped the topic up perfectly for us.
