Is slapping a child hard in the face abuse?

I was in New York city recently and there was a woman with 2 boys, probably about 7-9 age range. I was walking towards a building door and the kid was in my way. I simply said excuse me, nicely, and the woman responded by slapping her kid hard in the face. My heart dropped, and I told the kid "that was just not cool." I then said the same thing to the mom, that I understood the kid might be a pain, but don't hit him in the face. She then told me to mind my own business, snapping her fingers and doing that whole head shake thing. I had made my point and walked in to the building.

Q- did I do too much, too little? What else could I have done. I basically said what I wanted to say to all of them, in a manner that the kids could understand.
