Whenever I went to stores with my kids or grand kids when they were young I held them by the hand. Any body try to harm them would first have to go through me..

Wonder what the little boy said? Anyway she had no right to touch this woman's child even if she was "trying to help"

I've been out in public and seen some really bad ass kids that needed someone to snatch them up and tell them to chill but their parents just don't do it.

I have wanted to do this to some kids...

this is my unofficial hero.... which sounds bad but hell if people would control their fucking kids....

Lol I woulda went postal on this lady, but again, I actually watch my kids in the store. I usually plop 'em in the shopping cart or either way keep them right next to me at all times.

Somebody has to.

I am not for administering corporal punishment on a strangers child but, the problem is telling a child to behave is like telling me not to go to a buffet not gonna happen... The child needs to be spanked by its own Mother/Father, not me. Now, There have been times I wanted to snatch them up and jerk a knot in its little tail but it is not my place, I think the person should have scolded the Mother for not disciplining her unruly child.

while it was wrong but i agree i so many times have wanted spank some kid or slap an older kids but just never have done it!

I can't lie, I would have done it. I remember back when I was growing up, my neighbors used to spank me, and then tell my parents what I had done when they got home. I learned real quick not to mess around. But I agree, the mother of said child should have taken care of it herself.

yup,,it takes a village to raise a child,,but in todays politically,well not correct,but ill sue you for anything,its not the case anymore.

no way in hell that woman should have touched that child. Telling the parent off should have been enough.

Ummm if some random stranger tried to discipline my two year old I would have gone ballistic. It's easy for people w/o kids to get all pissy. Recently at Christmas I was in a store these two boys were fighting while the mother was trying to shop, as I was. She ignored their physical fighting. I couldn't get past them to find what I was looking for. I got frustrated and moved to the other side of the counter she followed and I told a friend "That mom needs a smack". It was hilarious she heard me. Later on across the mall she shot a dark look at me. I Smirked at her.

I would never ever lay a hand on someone's child but have no problem telling the parent they need to do something about their kid. It's how you deliver the message which can be tricky.

I so understand why she did it. That doesnt mean its right. I just find myself wanting to smack the parents of those kind of kids.

Hey, if parents arent going to control their children or teach them respect, someone has to.
I still think their should be a test to see if you can multiply.
