A mum has lost custody of her children after hitting her son with a wooden spoon when he used her credit card to buy video games.
The single parent, 46, confiscated the boy's gaming console, took a spoon from the kitchen and smacked him on the bottom after discovering he had blown $600 (£344) on her card.
Her lawyer said the mum, from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia, had experienced a 'brain snap with a difficult child' and she was 'extremely remorseful'.
