If your furbaby was in his crate then that child had no business getting him out!
As far as how you handled the situation, yes I agree with the other posters that you have to be careful with your furbaby around kids. Law suits of this kind are common. I took Sophie to my husband's uncle's home where they have a Bichon and a young child (4 yrs) and he tried picking up Sophie and was almost rough with her. I politely asked him to put her back down gently and it was ok to pet and to hold but not too rough. He was smart enough to know how to act and did as such.
But to see your side of it, if you were close with the boy's mom as it seems you are, disciplining a friend's child is not uncommon, even if that is grabbing them by the ear or spanking them. When I was little, I was in a group of friends where we were always at each other's homes. There was an understanding that if we misbehaved at our friend's home that their parents were welcome to spank us.
And we got spanked and yes, we deserved it.
This may not have been the case with you and this other lady, but I just thought I'd post another side of the disciplinary issue.
