Yeah, I'm with 53 and 54. That's abuse.
child abuse, much?
Lol I think hitting your kids is fine. My dad hit me when I did something wrong when I was little and I learned not to do it again. And it obviously worked here - I bet the OP won't scare her sister again 'cause it'll come back around and punch him in the face. If you're old enough to post an FML you're old enough to know better than to scare a 10 year old. There are consequences, which you saw.
Leave your sister alone.

Your mom sets a terrific example of how violence should never be used... oh wait.
OK. I'm pretty sure it's been demonstrated many times that hitting a child to punish them doesn't really serve them well. When you hit a child or anyone you have authority over, it serves to generate fear, and not that fear is a good reason not to do certain things, it would be better to sit someone down and say look, you did this, hence here is a consequence, and allow them to reflect on it and learn from it. For example, with younger kids, that consequence could be time out - sit in a chair; for a teenager a restriction of some privilege. Hopefully this will allow the individual to realize that his or her actions weren't necessarily appropriate on their own. Hitting, on the other hand does a number of things. Shows that hitting is an exceptable way to deal with anger and other emotions. On top of that it just makes them fear the consequence instead of knowing that it may not be the right thing to do. When all you do is fear the consequence and nothing else, it can make you a manipulative and lying person, because all you want to do is just get away with a behavior, rather than know that it's wrong. Sorry for the long post.

Your mother really needs to control her anger, and get a general overview of the situation.. If my mom did that to me, i'd freak out.. FYL
Yes, let's solve (non-existent) violence with violence, this sounds like a good plan...
