"I'M SO MAD THAT I WILL SLAP THIS LITTLE KID!!!!!!!"

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
― Abraham Lincoln
I find it interesting that much of the talk centers around annoying children, almost as if justifying the man's behavior. He assaulted a human being. No excuse for it. You don't get to hit people that annoy you.
Fine then. Lets crucify this old hag!
FUCK HIM!!!
Better?
I think the reasons he felt compelled to do it are much more interesting than the act. Unless he gave the kid a black eye, they'll be fine. I don't think anyone here is justifying smacking other peoples kids.
I'd be more concerned about this guy being a sexual predator getting off on slapping and touching the kid over the pink cheeks the child had when he was done.
Some parents really do need to fucking shut their kids up at shopping centres though. I can't stand kids screaming and hate when parents just walk along ignoring them or leave them to scream in the aisle and walk off. They may be used to that sound -- but I'm not.
I see so few people taking the responsiblity to remove the kid from the store/restaurant etc. to calm it down.
well the other thing is that people often bring babies or kids places where they don't really belong, that's when it really bothers me. Walmart is one thing- you sort of have to expect that if you go to Walmart you're going to deal with annoying people of all ages, and it's fine to take your kid there if you have to do errands. But it's like, why do you have your kid in the bar on friday night? why do you have your kid in the nice restaurant, movie theater, etc? And if the kid does unexpectedly act up, I agree, take them outside. I remember my parents doing that with me and my siblings all the time.
But there's still no excuse for hitting someone's kid. the guy probably just has a short fuse.
whats wrong with teaching a child that if you act like an ass in public, there are plenty of people around that will set you straight, i would rather my child learn it young than when he gets older and thinks he knows everything, then just gets the shit stomped out of him for being annoying and whiney. and my kids love me. they also would rather take a swat than stand in the corner, and i for one agree. most things arent worth that much time invested.

This kinda reminds me of an incident when my kids were 5 and 1 year old. I was in the check out line and they both started their shit. The baby was crying and reaching for the candy the stores put at the check out lines in the kid's view and reach and the 5 year old was just out of my reach poking his fingers in the cellophane of meat packages! My thought...I am leaving! And I meant leave the kids and all!
I had a long day, I was too young for this, and I was just done!
Nonetheless, I took care of matters and it's a good thing I did and not this man who looks like a killer! I would hope if anyone sees him they walk up and slap him!
Maybe I'm just a sick motherfucker.. but I got a little chuckle out of the article. I know its wrong, but you know its what people are thinking in their minds when they are shopping in a store and a kid won't shut the hell up.. The old man just unrightfully played it out.
My mother never would have stood for me crying in the store. She'd take me out to the car and yell at me until I'd shut the hell up.
I do have a childhood memory of misbaving in a mall causing her to smack me in the stomach. First time in my life I got the wind knocked out of me. I was laying on the floor of the mall unable to speak.. I did stop fucking around though. lol
What a great memory!
A few good smacks never hurt me. My mum had 5 kids and says we never used to carry on in public. We knew if we really fucked around, we got a smack on the bum. I'm not saying that's the solution to this problem though.....I was just talking generally.
A few good smacks never hurt you? I disagree. Your parents behavior was about them losing control and hitting you rather than finding a more civilized way to nip the situation in the bud. Now you believe hitting is ok?
I have a 17 year old and NEVER did I lay a hand on him for punishment.
Just because your mother owned you, didn't mean she was allowed to physically abuse you? How is that any different than the stranger hitting a child? Hitting/Spanking teaches kids violence. Period.
I was hit in the face all the time as a child. I vowed never to do that to my own. I broke that cycle.
What if your child is sick and you don't know it and you spank them for being bad?
Is physical punishment evolution? We should use our words more and teach non violent communication.
When or if you become a mother and your holding your newborn, think about how someday you most likely will hit that baby eventually. Maybe you won't........I guess you have to be a mother to understand how sick that feels.
There is one word that would solve this whole problem, it's called Tolerance for others.
If a person doesn't like the kid screaming next to you in the grocery line, just be glad you can check out and go home. Being a parent can be the hardest job in the world. Where's the compassion for the parent who is embarassed her child is melting down in a store?
I'd meltdown in a Wal-Mart myself!
So what if you have to hear crying. You live in the world with other people. Children cry because something is wrong.

so you would be ok if a total stranger smacked your kid across the face :?: ..
1. I'm as sick as the next person of hearing screaming kids everywhere in public. When I worked in retail, it was a nightmare. There are always parents lazily browsing the aisles, completely ignoring their kids while they scream and scream. Parents need to take more responsibility when their kids are acting out.
2. That being said, this guy had no right to take out his anger on someone else's kid. Slapping a stranger's kid isn't going to solve anything.

Jesus!!! I think you're taking what Ziggy said just a LITTLE out of proportion. She didn't say that her parents beat the shit out of her and her siblings. Your situation is completely different from hers...you can't make her out to be an abusive person because of what she said. Just because you had a bad situation growing up, it doesn't mean that all spanking situations were like that.
I had also said that I was spanked occasionally as a child. My parents NEVER once lost control--they would tell me to stop whatever it was that was bad behavior. Then they would tell me more forcefully and take me aside to talk to me. if I was still acting up they would tell me that if I continued, I would be punished. only after I exhausted any other options would they give me ONE smack on the butt. They were never violent, not did they spank me repeatedly. Once got the point across.
Sounds like control to me. And, you said that spanking teaches violence---I learned how to act appropriately and am a perfectly well-adjusted adult, who is--amazingly-enough--NOT VIOLENT!!!!

If hearing a child crying in a Walmart is the worst thing that's happened to you all day...you're having a pretty damn good day. Get over it. And I mean...it's Walmart...is a crying child really the most disturbing thing you're gonna see?
After seeing that, I'm wonder what kind of parent would bring their kid to Walmart in the first place :P Seriously...there are A LOT of scary things going on in that place, I think a screaming kid is the least of everyone's worries.

I think that might be worse punishment than getting slapped by a stranger! What could that poor little girl have done to deserve that kind of treatment? :? :P

yes, i would, then i would look at my kid and tell him "i told you people dont like to hearing pointless crying"

very true!! I gotta ask, how the heck did you come across that website???
so anyways... i was in the store friday with the toddlermonster.. shes just about to turn 3.. and she decides shes gonna sing at the top of her lungs. my immediate thought dear jammers was you lot and this thread. and because of that i laughed and looked at her.. she looked at me and smiled clearly thinking i was encouraging her, she kept on singing. unfortunately there wasnt a stranger close enough to slap her for me, so in my bestest sweetest small child appropriate voice i asked her to ssh and told her she cant sing that loud. then i thought why the hell cant she sing if she wants to. but by then itd turned into a game and she was laughing and then she spotted the books. peace was restored and she amused herself for the duration of the store visit reading to herself.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
maybe the solution is not taking your child grocery shopping.
If there is nobody to mind the child, how do you expect the shopping get done?! Starve them to death?!
why not? That'll teach em not to cry in public

back in my day, my parents would give us a not-too-hard smack on the butt...and we turned out OK! they never smacked us in the mouth or anything like that, just on the butt--and we learned our lesson. Worse than that, however, was if you made Mom mad enough to cry...now THAT was the most awful punishment ever!!
Agreed... if the pc brigade hadn't made it so parents couldn't smack their kids, we wouldn't have the problem with teens that we have today... they're little fuckers, we were taught respect, there's none of that anymore.
I love how this makes the news... the child's face was a little red and this makes worldwide news? :roll: gimme a break, he did warn her to shut the kid up... man was probably just having a shit day and then a screaming kid to add to it... it could happen to any of us :twisted:

so your child acts out and you do nothing to or can't stop it and others are the selfish ones - love parental logic.
Look obviously I'm going to try to minimize the inconvenience but if he won’t stop and we need to shop you will have to deal with it!
What should I do not feed my family because of the inconvenience to you??? .......Again who is being selfish here!!![/quote]
You... ever heard of online shopping
some of us don't have kids so we don't have to deal with that shit, why should we shut up and deal with other people's shit?

seriously? YOU disagree that a few good smacks never hurt HIM? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :roll:
A few good smacks never hurt quite a lot of us but taught us more... taught us about consequences for our actions, kids today haven't got a clue that all actions have consequences. Standing in a corner for 30 seconds isn't gonna teach a kid anything.

Parents should threaten to hire this guy as the babysitter when their kids are misbehaving.. just show them the picture. Easy as that. lol
I'm with you on that one.
