Dad to pay £50 for slapping 10-month-old

London: A Briton, who slapped his 10-month-old son after he knocked down a photo frame, has been ordered to pay the baby £50 in compensation, a media report said on Thursday.
The 24-year-old man lost his cool when his son hit the TV while jumping up and down in his baby bouncer, Daily Mail reported. The court was told that a family photo was knocked to the floor and the father hit him across the face.
The toddler’s mother found the boy had facial injuries and finger marks on his cheek and took him to a doctor who found the injuries were caused by a hand slap. The police were then called. The man was also directed to complete 60 hours of community service. IANS
