It is assault but if Ben and his parents don't bring it to the police's attention, ithe authorities probably won't know. The fact that the pastor didn't go to jail for this means that poor Ben probably has parents who believe that punching someone in the chest so they will learn about Jesus is okay.
My guess is that because Ben, according to the pastor, was an intelligent child that he asked one too many questions and that threatened the pastor's maleness. Can't have anyone-especially a kid-making him look dumb.
I just realized the pastor was from Fayetteville, NC. That is where I grew up.
I went to Cape Fear Christian Academy in Erwin. We lived in Lillington at the time. Small world.
