Wal-Mart Shopper Slaps Crying Child - Another heart felt story from wally world

[destrekor]

well at least the basterd finally shut up, yes?

 

[JS80]

If that were my kid I would thank that man for doing something I had no balls to do.

 

[alkemyst]

right on...

I like how parent's suddenly think they'd be able to take on any dude that talks smack to their kid though.

Hope they throw that mother in jail and the kid ends up in DCS.

I'm not saying that the guy should have slapped the kid... but I understand

You are obviously clueless. Not everybody's first step of discipline is to slap their kids. If that's yours, then you are a terrible parent.

Misinterpretation of my post? Read it again, I don't think it means what you think it means.

I made it very clear that wouldn't be tolerated. If they persisted, they had to go to a corner as far away from people as possible, and face the corner until they got a grip. That only happened a couple of times. Remove the audience, and you remove the attention getting tactics.

I disagree, at the store I've seen the "do nothing but ignore the kid" parents, which lead to me hearing a kid screaming at the top of their lungs for a good 5 minutes while the stupid parent goes on shopping like nothing was happening. When the kid stopped screaming it was probably only do to their throat hurting, they learned nothing. On the flip I saw a kid tell him mom "you will buy me this candy now!" He started to scream at the top of his lungs, a few seconds in to this she slapped the shit out of him. He cried for 20 seconds and was silent and good the rest of the time.

violence is these cases is always the answer, I was slapped when I was little and acted like a shit head. The ignoring method = terrible parenting.

Doesn't seem like an offense worthy of a felony charge, but I don't know how this guy thought it was acceptable to slap someone else's child.

Also, WTF @ the mother. First he warned her that he was going to shut the kid up, yet she didn't do anything when he approached the child?

You don't think society should employ a very strong deterrent to people who might lay hands on another's child, an act which would very likely be met with a response from the child's parent with an extreme escalation in violence? If a strange man slapped my kid (which I don't have yet) in a store for crying, I'd bury the motherfucker. That's why it's a felony.

I don't believe in slapping kids in the face, but I have no problem smacking them on the butt/leg. There's just something about slapping someone in the face that is offputting to me.

my mom has never slapped me in the face, but i've seen her lay a mean pimp slap on my sister when she seriously fucked up in her bitchy teen years. not in public though.

I don't think the reaction from the parent should be a factor in determining the severity of the crime. If the parent wants to express their displeasure using physical violence, they can go to jail too.

Everyone talks tough on the Internet, but I think most people would react the way this woman reacted, which was the proper way to react.

The crime he was charged with is punishable by five to twenty years in prison.

As far as I can tell, the same law would apply to the parents as well. I know most people don't slap their kids anymore, but do you think it should be punishable with 5 years in prison?

The law says "Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the first degree when such person maliciously causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive physical or mental pain." I don't think a couple of slaps causes "cruel or excessive physical pain." I wasn't there though, so I can only assume that based on the lack of injuries.

I dont agree that it should be a felony charge either . I do think the guy effed up bad touching someone elses kid though.

They should probably do a mental evaluation on the guy. Sounds like he snapped.

Actually there is a middle ground between ignoring and slapping. This might not be immediately obvious to somebody just walking by. And I'm not going to discuss my parenting methods with some random stranger in a store because A) I don't have the time, and B) It's none of their freakin' business. If you're that bothered, then plug your ears or walk away. The way I parent, she won't be screaming for more than a minute anyway. If you are completely freaked out by less than a minute of noise, then there are obviously some mental stability issues going on.

it takes a village mentality. Everyone around can and should punish the child when the child acts up. When I was young my neighbors would slap me if I got out of line, my teachers could hit me with the paddle board. It wasn't a big deal back then. If my mom was around she would hit me, if she wasn't it was a teacher or whoever saw me acting up. There was no lecturing, there was no "time outs" 5 goosd swats on my ass with the paddle board when I was 6 worked wonders to get me in line. If I ever have a kid I will handle the punishment, but it would be good to know that others would step up when I'm not around and the child acts up. I guarantee if more people acted like this man in Wallmart, we'd have far less kids acting like this in public. Hell I remember being 7 and outside throw rocks at the train, a neighbor I didn't even know came up and slapped me. My mom probably thanked him for stepping up.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

The guy is a douche for slapping someone else's kid, but let's face it, that mother sucks as a parent and a human being. The child is screaming and throwing a tantrum to the point where a complete stranger says he's going to shut the kid up, and she still does nothing? And hell, it sounds like it worked; the kid shut up after getting slapped. If the mother was any good as a parent, the kid wouldn't be pitching a screaming fit in Wal-Mart long enough to piss off some old guy to the point that he'd slap a kid, nor would she let a complete stranger who JUST THREATENED HER CHILD get close enough to the kid to actually HARM her... And shit, the child suffered "some redness in the face"? What the fuck is that? She's fine.

If that guy is guilty of a felony for child cruelty, the mother should be charged with a felony for child endangerment. She sounds like a horrible human being.

And no, I'm not defending the guy that slapped some random kid, because that's something that you just don't do. But the mother is completely ignoring her parental role and letting her kids be little hellions in public. You need to institute some form of discipline or you put your child at risk from angry strangers. Case in point.

You really do talk out your butt sometimes alk... First you jump down jbourne's throat for not punching the guy, then you turn around and say this... You are really inconsistent... I always wondered how people got so many posts... I guess its just spouting whatever BS comes to mind first.

 

[FeuerFrei]

But what kind of car does he drive? Maybe we can link that to his abrasive behavior as well as the fact he visited a Wal*Mart. :roll:

There's one in Queens, though it's practically Long Island at that point.

Really? Where?

the infamous valley stream, you prob live close to it.

I go to the one near Source Mall occasionally, on Old Country Road. its less than a half hour drive from queens.

The fact that you admit you needed repeated and frequent beatings is surely testament to the efficacy of the repeated and frequent beatings.

I don't have kids, but if I did and this happened to me, I'd probably hang my head in shame that a stranger had to step in. I wouldn't be happy about it obviously, but still.

Oh, and if you do what you just described, even if the stranger did slap your kid, you'd most likely get picked up for assault.

When I was in 1st grade I had behavioral issues. My mom told my teacher she could use discipline on me, this was in the 80's mind you, it would never fly today. But the point is, my teacher never had to spank me, the fear of that consequence was sufficient. I was acting out horribly like many children, only now there's mostly no fear of consequence from anybody.

excatly. To many PC police are around now and it's not IN to disiplin your children. Thankfully I'm not concerned with the PC people and I'll put a stop to bad behaivour where ever it starts. No taking them somewhere out of sight, If I'm in line at the store or in the middle of the mall, I'll administer a spanking.
There are 2 things kids don't like, Spankings and being embarrassed. This way I accomplish 2 things at once. It works every time.
I've had one woman get mouthy because I spanked my child and I told her to shut her damn mouth or she was next.
