Clerk fired for spanking child

A little who says he was spanked at a Dollar General store describes the experience as pure torture.

The 8-year-old boy was reportedly running around the store and got into a confrontation with the clerk.

The clerk told police the boy threw a cookie at her so she chased him down and spanked him with a belt.

The clerk was fired and now faces assault charges.

Does the clerk’s punishment go too far?
