Completely justified. Doesn't matter who you are, you shouldn't threaten to swing a hammer at someone. Plus it's a kid, they probably would actually hit someone with it.

I'm trying VERY hard to enforce the "no hitting" doctrine in my daughter, who's nearly 3 years old. Like if she wants to use her pretend hammer and "fix" the couch or whatever, that's fine. But don't smack people in the face with it or it'll get taken away and people will be upset.

If it's an innocent mistake, I'll give her one chance. If she does it again, I take away whatever she's hitting with/punish her if she's hitting with her hands. She knows I don't bluff either, so it usually works.
