I think Americans have become undisciplined idiots. Give this man a medal. If parents can’t control their children someone has to. I cannot imagine someone doing this to my children – BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER NEED TOO! I would have done it long before he had the chance. Arrest the mother of that poor child for neglect. That child is destined to grow up and be a selfish leach on society like so many are becoming these days. Everyone is looking at the rights of the child and not to the better good of society.

Who cares what kind of mother this lady is – in no way shape or form was this man justified in hitting someone else’s child!!!!! For all you know, she could be a single parent, with no nearby family and the baby could’ve been sick and in need of some Tylenol. What is she supposed to do? Stay at home and not get her child some medicine for fear that she may disturb someone at the store. NO! You go get your baby the medicine.
All I’ve read on here, are people’s biased opinions about what they think happened, or how they think she is raising her child without discipline and letting her child run buckwild around the store. I’m the mother of an 11 y/o and a 2 y/o and six months pregnant with the third. My children are very well behaved but sometimes things happen. For God’s sakes, that child is two. Two year olds aren’t capable of expressing their feelings as well as adults. She could’ve pinched her finger on the shopping cart, scratched her leg or got bit by a bug – just because she was crying in the store doesn’t mean she was throwing a temper tantrum. She could’ve been well rested and fed and became irritable because of the long lines in Walmart – Lord knows I get irritated. If this man is that impatient, sounds like he has to learn some social skills. Does that mean he’s justified in slapping someone’s smart-mouth teen? No. He either needs to get over himself or stay home. That’s one of the pitfalls of going out in public. You get to deal with all kinds of people. You may not like everyone and you may not agree with everyone’s lifestyles, but its just something you have to deal with. I’m sorry, but my husband goes on business trips sometimes and if I have to go to the store, I’m going to go. If ANYONE threatened, let alone put hands on my child, I would go ballistic and I would be the one who ended up in jail – six months pregnant or not.

I think it is ridiculous. I think he needs some Prozac or something. Babies cry she was only two years old. If it was bothering him that bad he should have went to electronics or another line. I have to deal with grumpy old people all day so I can believe something like this happened. I have two little girls and they know better now how to act when we are out in public. When they were small it was a little more difficult to take them to the store because smaller kids get cranky, fussy, and annoyed. Every mother knows when you have to take a little kid shopping you get in and out ASAP, but when it comes to checking out that takes longer especially if the store is busy. And they say that young people have no patience. He had absolutely no right to even touch the child or even talk to the mother or child that way. If I was put in that situation there would be no holding me back. I may be small but when it comes to my children don’t mess with me.

Children cry for reasons and when in a store it was most likely the daughter couldn’t get what she wanted. You can’t stop a child from crying on a whim. They need to learn they can’t get what they want. This man had no right to touch that little girl. Just because a child is crying is not a reason for the parent to stop everything he/she is doing and leave a store when they are just trying to check out and take care of the behavior in private. The mother had done nothing wrong and those of you that think the mother wasn’t being a good parent because the child was crying child apparently have no children of your own.

Mother of 2, finally another post of a rationale parent! Need more of them around the country like you! If your like me, you find the best time possible to go out and about with your kids, after naps, etc. If where lucky, leave em at home for a nice mental health break! Everybody needs a get away time…but I find that when I go out to get some air, I run into yelling, screaming, fussing kids, older ones too. And their parents…totally, totally ignorant to what is going on! Can’t you see your childs ugly behavior wearing on peoples nerves? lol Im a happy mother, love my kids, wanted my kids, I drive home, so happy they are mine…cause I just experienced some of the worse behaved “parents”, I have ever seen! Come on Mom and Dad….set some basic ground rules, it starts before they walk….trust me, it makes the teen years a heck of alot easier!
