60 yr old man smack 2 yr old girl in the face

[Dabigguy]

Here is what the old KOOT should have done.

A) ask the mom if something was wrong with the kid & maybe she would get the hint.

B) Ask the mom permission to buy the kid a balloon or lolly pop to distract the kid from crying

C) Go to another line

Unfortunatly todays parenting skills are horrible by the younger gen.
The mom was prolly on twitter or meds.

With my 8 year old (Last Kid) I see a big difference in his class mates or scouts friends. Some of these kids are really coddled & whiney generation.

A big diff from my 19 year old son classmates.

The first problem is he was shopping in Wal-Mart, expect getto.

Second, rewarding a child with a ballon or candy is rewarding them for their unruly behavior.

now i know what went wrong with you.

See ya, kip

ha!!!

Its sad that he is facing more time than someone that committed murder ---

A lot of you are obv parents, the reality is having a two year old currently that people in public, day care, and church comment on how wll behaved he is, still occasionally acts like he's nuts. At two it is them testing the boundaries. YES, I agree this is the time to make that adjustment and teach them there is no benefit to acting out (actually a consequence), but you cant stop them from trying, it is a normal and healthy expression of their development. However them doing it over and over is a reflection on the parent(s).

BS that there is more liberal nonsense. that teaches the child bad behavior gets rewarded.

I will say that I doubt there would be a need to do that to any of my children, but as I stated, try it and somebody ain't walking away. I'll handle the discipline, I don't need any help from others. I once had to tell an old lady in a store who thought I was being to hard on my child that if she didn't pipe down and mind her own business, she was next.

it sounds like to me you have good parenting skills.

Its amazing some morons think slapping a 2 year old will stop them from crying.

OH OK so you are saying my momma was a moron for slapping me. not just no but hell no. I learned at a young age when I was told to do something, I did not ask ANY question, I did it. if I got spanked in the in public & started crying she told me "I'll give you something to cry about" & I shut up.

parents need to have more power and be able to punish their kids without having to worry about the law coming after them, later on after the kids grow up to be criminals and the law comes down hard on them, the 1st to be blame is the parents for not raising them the right way, but how can you when the Fu***ing GOV has to stick their nose in everything even how you raise your kids, I remember getting smacked left and right by my parents many times and trust me i deserved it a lot, and every time i learn that i will not do whatever i did to deserve another beating, parents need more power these days end of story..

exactly!!

First, we'll never know the whole story. Kid could have been in a complete meltdown. I tired to help a lady who had her hands full in the checkout holding her son. I stopped her 3/4 year old from hitting his mom (by holding his hands) in the face while she stood in line and she told me to butt out. He was slapping her hard enough to make her hair fly.

Second, Hitting someone else "little" kid, a no-no. But, I had this out of control screaming lady grab/pull my wife holding our 3 month old with our toddler holding her leg out of the way to get to the counter in a fast food joint. I grabbed her off my wife, her 16/17 year old son tried to butt in and he got his too but he was old enough to know better. Cops showed up and would not allow her to press charges after the rest of the crowd told the whole story. In fact I testified at her trial.

Third, All three of them need to get back on their medication.

Fourth, If people piss you off so much you loose control stay away from them.

Some parents think their children never do any wrong. I was in a grocery store and a 4yr kid was in the basket playing with a can of bug spray and had it pointed at her own face with her finger on the trigger. I took it away from the kid and handed to her mom. The kid screams as I handed it to mom, I told mom what had just happened, her response was "She's OK, she was just playing with it. You can give it back to her." I put it back on the shelf and told her she didn't need bug spray OR children !!!

 

[101prf]

Turbo Indian, how many kids do you have?
I'm sure as hell no liberal, my kids are well behaved and disciplined. The "I will give you some to cry about" works with my five year old. Its starting to work with my two year old who is almost three. I highly doubt you remember being two years old and my point is slapping a two year old rarely results in them just quieting down. Bottom line is no one has the right to discipline a strangers child, someone hits someone else two year old they deserve to get their neck broke.

There is no IQ test to be a parent thats for sure.

 

[wideHB]

I have 2 little girls, and my wife and I are fortunate enough to have well behaved kids.

However....... NOBODY, i say again NOBODY has the right to put their hands on my children but me, and my wife.

I don't condone bad behavior, and I DO believe that there should be proper punishments for it. I don't believe it should be in the hands of a stranger. If that were me, the old man would've left with his teeth in his throat. Not to mention I live in AZ, a right to carry state, and I have my weapon on me at all times.

I've see WAY to much bad **** happen to children, as my wife is a nurse at one of the largest childrens hospitals in the nation. There's no way he would've left unharmed.

It's plain child abuse for a grown man to slap a 2 year old in the face several times. Aside from that is clearly shows how weak the man is to allow his violent emotions to take over. If the only way you can deal with someone else's 2 year old child crying in a store is to walk over and slap them in the face several times, then you do not belong in society. I've certainly encountered situations with my kids where they were misbehaving in store. What parent hasn't. Sometimes you can calm them other times you have to abandon shopping and go to the car. Either way if someone stepped in and hit my kid they wouldn't be able to do it again, ever. Since we do not know exactly what went on other than the kid crying and the man threatening and then hitting the girl in the face, you can't just say because they were at Walmart they were low class or she was a bad mother. What we can say is that guy is a threat to other kids and will either hit another kid or adult if his anger is not checked. He should be locked up for hitting that kid for a long time. He'll have plenty of faces to slap there, except they will hit back.

 

[stack1]

Alright tough guys, take it easy. None of you would have to kick any a$$ because I imagine most of you are responsible and respectful parents. I've heard accounts that the mother was doing nothing while the child is screaming. I doubt any of you would just ignore that behavior from your child. The old man told her that if she doesn't do something he would. Apparently the child did stop screaming after he dished out his beat down!!!

 

[RatFink]

+1 haha, yeah, he may have already got a taste...I hope so anyway.

True, but it could distract the kid's from having a meltdown.

It would have been best that the koot went to another getto checkout line.

 

[Little6pack]

No not really. Coming from a stranger that a 2 year old will never see again.

If it was the mom constantly bribing the kid then I agree with you.

 

[cruzn57]

now I see why...........

there so many totally screwed up children in this world.
yea the guy was wrong, but go anywhere, (walmart, dinner, theater, zoo) makes no difference, parents today have no clue how to raise a child PROPERLY!
if the shoe fits - WEAR IT, if not- I'm not speaking to you!
look around, see all the younger ones EXPECTING cell ph's, vidieo games, fashion clothes, whose fault is that? yea your right, the parents, and their parents, I have grand children, you bet I've warmed their bottom!
but I have also helped them with home work, and school projects, and rewarded them appropiately, (no they DO NOT HAVE CELL PH's)

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF AMERICA?

 

[SGRIM]

It really doesn't matter what happened IMO. If you are a man with kids and you would be cool with another man slapping your 2yr old, YOU ARE NUTS!

Any man slaps my child, I don't give a damn how old my kids are, they sure better be ready to fight me until I can't get up again....

Pops needs his old butt tore up for that

 

[GNBRETT]

Now I know what went wrong with you.

See ya, Kip

Don't hate. It's not my fault you were coock fed vs. breast fed as a child....

 

[Raymond Bunch]

I was once told if I didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Well, I consider this as an exception. I don't care if it were my kid, your kid, another persons kid. If I EVER see an adult slap, hit, kick a child, his/her azz is going down. The law will sort it out from there.

Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in discipline, but laying your hands on a young child like this, especially from a complete stranger, is un-acceptable. Just not right guys.

SGRIM, I couldn't agree with you more. I'd probably be in jail.

 

[GregInAtl]

The mother has the right to discipline anyway she so chooses or none at all if she wants. Its her right and it is breaking no law.
AT NO POINT is it legal for ANY adult to strike a minor, including a 2 year old that belongs to a stranger.

If you aren't man enough to deal w/ a pretty obv fact about children (kids scream & cry) stay locked up in your cage.

outside this, its liberal bullshi+ and you are simply wrong.
