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

[V8Assassin]

some kids cry, don't know why but they do. There is a little girl in my two year olds day care on sundays that never stops crying, and I mean the shrieking, yelling crying. Mine just smiles and plays most of the time, very good natured but he gets his hand popped from time to time like when he grabs a full coke and turns it up on the kitchen floor. The eight year old is just getting to the point where he is cool, and when he comes home from school with a mark for behavior he gets grounded without tv or toys for the night. If it happens two days in a row he gets a spanking, not a beating but enough to get his attention, and I'm all for spankings at school (within reason, don't send home bruised up)

Point being the mom could have just had enough, the kid could be a cryer and she just had to tune it out for a minute to keep from going insane. Whatever happened the old man had absolutely no place putting his hands on a two year old kid that didn't belong to him. Tap the mom on the shoulder and ask her to keep the baby quiet, fine, but slapping the kid.

Me, if the old man slaps my two year old, unless somebody close has a carry permit and has their gun on them nobody is going to stop me from beating his teeth down his throat. It wouldn't even be a concious thought if I saw someone hitting my kid.

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.

Raymond this is one for the books, i know the guy was wrong for taking the punishment into his own hands considering it wasnt his child, BUT, Parents now days have to learn to dicipline thier children and put thier foot down without having the law interfere in those afairs, this is the main reason why so many teenagers are Fuc**d up in the head and now days and you hear about shootings in schools, getting arrested for drugs etc etc I mean the list goes on and on, it all gets blamed back at the parents for not raising thier children the right way, and the right way is applying punishment whenever required.. I have seen children as young as 2 throw major tamtrums in public places because thier parents wont buy them something of the self, and what i have done is just give them a dirty look and with my index finger wave at them the word NO and they shut up instanly, works everytime.. , now i hope i never get arrested for that. LMAO

I hear you man. I grew up getting switched, smacked, and I turned out ok:smile: I'm honestly glad I got my butt handed to me a few time for ignorant things I have done. I don't always blame the parents for the way their child turned out either. But, it is an obvious factor in most cases in today's society. Some kids just have serious issues dealing with authority, they are probably just following in their parents foot steps, or the friends they hang around with.

With that said, I have over 1200 Marines I'm in charge of on a daily basis. You would not believe some of the antics, lack of dicipline that I see. While some of these kids grew up in poverty, others grew up in wealthy families. What I have noticed the most is, they just want someone to sit down and talk to them about their problems, and most of all understand them. You would be amazed at how many parents don't take time out of their busy schedules to do this. You have to spend time with your kids, and be involved every minute of their lives.

There is one question that my superiors ask when the Marines are checking out of the command. That question is:

"Who has made the biggest impact on you while you were here at school"

My bosses have told me several times that my name was brought up, even if they are not my kids, they are my responsibility while under my charge. I treat my Marines, like they are my own kids.

If I had one person over me that felt that way when I was enlisted I may have still been in.

Most everyone around me when I was in the military was interested in themselves and not the people around them. Many of the people who influenced me when I was young were military/ex-military, and I was always taught that the people of the armed forces where supposed to take care of each other.

I thank you for your troops.
