On Saturday (17 Jan), the man took to social media saying he had been receiving criticism, as well as threats towards him and his family, following the viral video.
As such, he posted photos and videos explaining why he resorted to physical discipline when dealing with the child.
CCTV footage taken in Oct 2025 shows the boy throwing a tantrum after he was reportedly banned from going out by his mother.
Upset, he screamed at his grandmother and forcibly attempted to snatch the phone from her hand.
His actions then caused the elderly woman to fall off her chair and hit her head on the wooden arm of another.
