Re: saw something so disturbing yesterday

That is so upsetting to me, the poor children. I dont believe in hitting my child either but for those who do I think there is a time and a place.

What I find the worst is that she made him pull his pants down in public. That alone is abusive IMO. Chat Icon

OMG that is so sad. I don't believe in spanking at all. The most i've done is a tap on DS's hands when he's bad but I try to just stick with doing the time outs but whatever the punishment is do it at home.

I knew i shouldnt have open this post.. Chat Icon I hate hearing things like this.. Makes me so upset.



I feel the same way. I saw a child being smacked HARD in the face the other day and it is still bothering me. This incident would have sent me over the edge. WTH is WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! I'm sorry, no child deserves to be hit. DD is still young and I KNOW she is going to do things that push my patience but I can't justify this. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

And we sometimes wonder why people grow up to be the way they are. My heart just breaks for that little boy. Chat Icon




I totally agree. Maybe he did something to deserve a smack on the tushy, but to embarass him in a public place is another thing.

That upsets me. My mom used to do similar things. I am the best mom in the world by doing the opposite of everything I have learned from her.....Chat Icon

Disgusting. I would have said something and then called the police. Not sure what they would've done, but still.

I wonder why it's "okay" to pull our kids pants down and hit them but not okay for adults to hit each other in the eyes of the law? Chat Icon



same here. if it was a mall I would have gotten security and made them call the police or child protective services.

as heartbroken as i was by seeing this, i don't think calling the police is the right thing. parents do have a right to discipline their children--including hitting. i may not agree with it, but there's nothing the police could have done.

she wasn't beating him up (although this wasn't much better) and it wasn't my place to say something.

a parent like that needs parent training. i just feel so badly for that little boy--but calling the police would have been the wrong thing to doChat Icon

Well if they do that in public, who knows what goes on behind closed doors. Child abuse is a crime, and I would consider pulling down your childs pants in public and hitting him, child abuse, regardless of what the child did to "deserve" it. Chat Icon Sorry, just how I feel.
