Question

I was in the mall with a family member this week, and we were just about to leave Sears when I heard someone yell angrily. I turned my head and there were two African American women standing in front of a stroller with a 2 year old boy inside of it, and one was strapping him into his seat. She was being very rough with the child, and when he cried out she nastily told him to shut up, then hit him. 

When I saw this I became extremely angry, and it took everything within my will power not to walk over and knock the woman on her backside for striking the child. Instead, I paused and glowered at them making the younger of the women look up at me. Curling my lip I growled... Nice parenting... and walked past them out of the store.

It took me a long time to stop being angry about it, and it makes me even angrier to think that I see similar types of behavior almost every single time I go out into public lately. It's getting harder and harder not to belt people in the face for the way they treat their children... especially in the county I live in because it's full of some of the most ignorant, horrible people on earth who seem to embrace being poor, uneducated, and cruel.

How do you deal with these types of things because sooner or later I'm going to get arrested.

They are disciplining their child.... too many 'parents' nowadays don't do that... that's why so many children do as they please. Why kids don't respect authority (they have never experienced it at home).

Mind your own business!!!!

I'm tempted very often to say 'Nice parenting' to the parents of kids who screech and have tantrums in supermarkets etc and who ignore their tantrums or just say... "Now, Mummy isn't pleased with your behaviour... stop it darling"..... which obviously won't have the slightest effect. A quick smack-bottom would have a much better effect.
I'm not condoning the battering of children but there is a world of difference between a battering and a quick sharp smack.

I leave the store and then talk trash about them with my sisters. Does it help the child? No. It helps me though. If you get arrested for hitting the parents, it does nothing for the child. You're word that the parents are being mean to the kid is worthless when you hit the parents. There is no law against screaming at your kids. Hitting, yes but the parents will get away with it if its just one slap on the face. So don't get involved just walk away. it does nothing for anyone.

do no longer forget approximately, they did no longer falsely imprison you or something - they only desperate to end their relationship with you. except civil liberties have been taken away, they have not broken a regulation. Civil liberties contain such issues as no longer being fired because of the fact you're a minority or an previous guy or woman. in case you signed an contract to arbitrate disagreements, forget approximately approximately suing.

Do what quite a few people do these days.  Get a cell phone that shoots video, and if the police aren't interested put it on YouTube.

Be safe in the knowledge that there is nothing you can do to change their behaviour.

Leave them to their filth.
