something's wrong

Man A is a family man. He makes sure to have supper with his family at 8 o'clock sharp every day. Except this most recent day, when he arrives home to find his son asleep in bed, no supper ready, and his wife reading. He demands to know what's going on, and his wife explains that they went to the park earlier and the boy got exhausted from playing. She made him a light meal and let him go to bed. Man A becomes infuriated, and wakes his son up from sleeping to eat dinner. He demands that his wife make supper, or he'll give the dog away. She does, and throughout cooking he insults her in front of their son. When it's ready, the boy says that he's not hungry. Man A takes him on one knee and spanks him. Then he eats, while crying.

Man A has committed no crime.

Man B is a family man. He makes sure to have supper with his family at 8 o'clock sharp every day. Except this most recent day, when he arrives home to find his son asleep in bed, no supper ready, and his wife reading. He demands to know what's going on, and his wife explains that they went to the park earlier and the boy got exhausted from playing. She made him a light meal and let him go to bed. Man B is a little upset, but says "ok" and then, knowing his son is asleep, retrieves a large bong and becomes intoxicated on cannabis.

Man B has committed a crime.
