What is your defination of abuse? What u thing is, may just be a correction har that child. As defined by the law, but I'm sure you know that on the spur of the moment it's a judgement call.

see this is why i have no kids. because friday... a woman looked at her rampaging child and said "Emily you're not making good decisions..." and do you know what emily said??? as she dumped water all over our floor and threw stuffed animals at other kids and tore spex frames off the wall? "I want to not make good decisions mom." she smiled and kept goin. mom... tried to talk her down. do you know what i (and my mom!!) would have done!?!?! i'd have dragged her ass to the bathroom and popped her one. i'm a believer in spanking. but i'm sure to stir up a firestorm with this so i will say no more lol YUP.!!!

CLEARLY verbally abusing or hitting a small child in a public place what, if anything, would you do? Probably nothing so if it your family member so i would assume you would still do nothing I'm taking care of my nephew so that he doesn't get abused and neglected by his parents. Both of my sisters are in absuive relationships, and there's nothing I can do for them at this point.

If it was a swat on the butt or hand I would think the child did something that warranted it. It's not my business and if I were to swat my child it wouldn't be anyone else's business... Some believe in spanking some don't.. To each their own unless they are beating the kid THAT is different.. As for verbally abusing I would probably say something... now if the child was a step child. by law your not even allowed to spank them for you can get arrested for that.. i knew someone that had that happen to them. even if it was not a step child but a relationship where there was a child involed your still not allowed to spank them

The law in some states say you may not even spank your child... I'd like to see them raise kids without ever spanking and said children better be f'n angels...

Ya know....I see this topic come up here and there and there is one thing that always bothers me. I see sooooo many people saying that they would " call in the law " on the offending person....but these are ( in a lot of cases ) the same people who sit back and piss and moan about the fact that kids these days are " out of control ". Wanna know WHY they are out of control??? No fear of discipline. Time out??? What a joke. There is a HUGE difference between a spanking for disciplinary purposes and abuse. Trust me. I am WELL versed on the differences. Now...in the case the OP states which is " CLEARLY abusing "....even that is going to be based strictly on the judgment of the observer. Some people figure that if you even so much as look cross eyed at your kid, you are abusing them. I agree here. If my child (I don't have kids) was acting up, I'd discipline him/her. But if I was yelling at the top of my lungs and was physically tormenting my child to where bruises or blood was visible and was done in public, that would be the time for someone to call the cops on me.

And that's why kids get away with everything these days, growing up you never stepped out of line or you got a back hander.

What kind of hitting? There's a difference between a swat on the butt, as in a spanking, and a punch in the arm or hard slap that knocks the child down.

Look, if my child is acting up in public and I smack his ass and someone gets in my face for doing so, I may call the cops on THEM. Some people need to mind their own business.

im my case I witnessed the guy with full force backhand the kid like he was an adult, driving him to the ground...is that abuse? you bet it is the kid was about 9 years old . I do beleiev parents have a right and obligation to ensure their kids are respectful to others and behave in public places.. and sure maybe you don't want to spank your kid in a store.. then you take him /her home right then and give the necessary punishment( time outs) what a joke today kids laugh at it.

CLEARLY verbally abusing or hitting a small child in a public place what, if anything, would you do? I've never witnessed that,,yelling yes,,but hitting no,,I would call them down on a yelling match,,then depending on their minds and the childs pains as to if THEY(parent) was a nut,,I would get their plate number and call 911 and check for security to step in ...I was abused as a child and THAT SH!T IS WRONG! So it makes me a bit MORE p!ssed...
