-1 for ad hominem. Especially bad if the accusations against his character are true.
Misleading usage of the ad hominem concept. If your objection is “the parent said something that lowers the status of another” then you may consider instead claiming ‘offensive’ or ‘rude’. (I would disagree with either of those charges too but it would be a matter of subjective preference and not one of abstract understanding.)
