Corrie viewers complain about child's slapping

Horrified 'Coronation Street' viewers have complained about a recent episode which depicted a child being slapped.

Burly builder Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) lashed out at girlfriend Anna Windass' (Debbie Rush) adopted daughter Faye after she deliberately poisoned his pet fish, but hundreds of viewers have taken to twitter to voice their displeasure and Philip Noyes of the NSPCC claims the scenes set a bad example.
