When the boy failed to swallow the report, the man tried to push it further down his throat before slapping him around the face, a court in Poitiers was told. The boy's swollen eye and cut lip were spotted by a teacher in class the next day.
Social services were alerted and the father was charged with assault. He received a two-month suspended prison sentence.
"I have apologised to my son for what I did and things have been much better since," he told the court. "I do not hit him anymore."
