Your opinion on this article? The granddaughter needs more than a slap in the face.?

This story is all over the internet and on television too and I think the girl has lost her grandmother forever. She may gain forgiveness but will never get back the closeness. The girl talked to a nun the same way and got thrown out of school for it. Then she did the same with her grandmother and she did hit the woman back and held her arms. I do not understand why they didn't take both of them to jail. It was obviously a fight and only one went to jail. I am with the grandmother on this one. I would not have slapped her but would have told her to leave and not come back. I had a bad experience with my granddaugter and even though she apologized I am not as close to her as I was. I love her, I forgive her, but she is not my little sunshine girl anymore. I hope the girl gets counseling.
