She said Dearman told the youngsters to stand facing the wall - but he saw the six-year-old peeking.
The furious dad forced the boy to lie on his side on the couch with his face against the rear cushions.
He then pinned the child down using his bodyweight.

After five minutes the child stopped moving and the couple went to the garage for a cigarette.
When they returned they saw that his lips were blue and he wasn't breathing.
Ms Cole ran back to the garage to pray while Dearman called paramedics and tried to perform CPR on his son.
The emergency services arrived and rushed to boy to hospital, but he was pronounced dead.
Dearman was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse.
On Thursday afternoon the charge was changed to aggravated manslaughter of a child.
He is currently in the Sarasota County Jail.
