I agree that this dude was way wrong in doing what he did, but I have seen parents do some awful things as well. I used to be a Sheriff's Deputy. I worked the 3pm-11 shift, and would often stop off at a store on my way home. I saw many parents with unruly children point to me and say I'd arrest their child if he or she didn't start behaving. What kind of message does that send to a 3 year old? One time, I told a woman I'd arrest her if she kept on talking to her child like that. It's called abuse, even if hands aren't used.

To be honest the first strike would probably land, as I would be stunned that somebody could be so thoughtless and stupid... But there sure as hell would not be a second strike against my child. And never again would they strike ANYTHING byt hte time I got done with them. -------------------------------------------------------------------- dam with this many tough people it makes me wanta hide in the closet oooooooooooooh

Sully, parents have no business havin lil kids in the store that time of night to begin with. Sorry hun I have to disagree with you here, and remind you of lulu's post. What if the child is sick and you need medicine? In my case Ia m a single parent, so leaving them home witht he other parent is not an option. And as I am sure you would agree, most kids seem to get sick at the most INCONVENIENT time, lol. And I refuse to keep extra medicine in my house as my youngest likes to get into anything and everything.

Daniel, I was referrin to Sully's remark about workin swing shift an stoppin in the store after work. Young kids have no business bein out in a store that late. Although I've seen it done myself.

It has saved them many 2am trips to the pharmacy.
