Topic: Stranger accused of slapping crying child at store | |
---|---|
I'll be serious a minute (it's hard and I might pop but I can do it)
babies cry just like dogs bark and fish swim the sound grates on my nerves and irritates the crap out of me but you just have to accept it as their nature and it's not this guy's business to control another person's child what he did was assault of a minor and child abuse and he's lucky he didn't get sent to ICU which is what would have happened were it my child |

i think some of the details are being missed. the guy threatened to shut the baby up, and they went about their separate ways. two aisles LATER, man rushes up and grabs kiddo. mom might have had her back turned grabbing something off of the top shelf. the guy was then tackled to the ground by customers and employees, who held him for the police. sometimes, taking your baby to walmart IS caring for them. sometimes, they need food or medicine, and no amount of hugging is going to make it better until they can get it. I didn't see that part, Lulu. I thought it happened by the cashier. Wow, it almost sounds like he stalked her. That's scary. I can't imagine how horrified I would have been if a man rushed up and grabbed my baby like that. To me, a 2-year-old is still my baby. |

what because she is the mother of an attacked child she can do no wrong
if my kid was threatened i would want to remove them from the threat maybe she just did not care enough to do so |

where did we get the idea that children are to be "controlled"? guided with discipline and love...led in the right direction, yes. taught. children are people, too, and they have a right to their own emotions. just because we don't agree with them, that doesn't give US the right to squash them. what do you call guided guid·ed, guid·ing, guides v.tr. 1. To serve as a guide for; conduct. 2. To direct the course of; steer: guide a ship through a channel. 3. To exert control or influence over. 4. To supervise the training or education of. ------------ #3 says it all 3. To exert control or influence over. a rose by any other name still smells as sweet |

Sorry adj, most of the time you and I agree damn near as if we were cloned from the same robot lol, but this time I can not agree.
As Lulu pointed out, the mother was there with her child to get medicine the child needed. Good mother. When stranger threatened the child, mother went to a different area, AWAY from the stranger, and kept shopping for her child's medicine which the child obviously needed. Good Mother. Stranger came from a completely different aisle, with the specific intent to harm the child. He was probably NOT yelling and screaming his intent, but moving quietly as he PLANNED to hit the child, so even though he had been a threat earlier, the mother was still caught by surprise because she thought she had removed her and her child from the threat already. BAD STRANGER. About the only possible thing the mother should have done, was MAYBE called store management after the first threat and ask that the guy be escorted out of the store and off the property, which in those circumstances many store management will do as they want the business of the mother more than that of the maniacle crazed stranger. But it was a judgement call, and as I said she probably figured everything was already diffused and taken care of when she walked away fromt he guy the first time. |

But it was a judgement call, and as I said she probably figured everything was already diffused and taken care of when she walked away fromt he guy the first time. that was speculation as what she was shopping for Authorities say the girl and her mother were shopping Monday when the toddler began crying. The police report says Stephens approached the mother and said, "If you don't shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you." and i am sorry if my two year old was making enough of a ruckus that a stranger threatened them i would completely leave the threat not just move to another aisle especially if the child did not stop what was creating the issue is it something the mother had to do or even should worry about ---maybe not ---but if she had would the incident have happened ---would the child have been struck lets say the mother had to go to the store has not arrived yet but while on the way to the store she sees a disruptive and violent crowd between her and the store but she needs to go to the store so she takes the child threw the crowd and the child gets hurt is she a good mother if not why |
