Stranger Slaps Screaming Child In Georgia Wal-Mart

[RobinGoodfellow]

And that’s what I find funny about this entire story. This is only considered news because it was a stranger. If the mother did the same thing to the kid no one would care to call the cops or family services, etc.

What news have you been watching? Plenty of parents have been nailed by the CPS; in fact, it's actually creating a problem in a number of communities?

By "beating" do you mean spanking or a quick smack to the hand? As long you don't you cross a line, both are perfectly legit forms of discipline. Yeesh; I hate the particular blindness intrinsic to the PC crowd...

LOL, child please! I'm from the old school, and the mother needs her ignorant ass beat for letting her child act out in public and not stop it when asked by others.

I don't think he executed his intentions in the right way, but there are some dumbasses who have children these days. They have some half raised kids that talk any kind of way to people and are public nuisances. I don't waste my time on people like that mother because she does need to be slapped for her not teaching her daughter to not act out in public. I know my parents raised us that physical discipline is the last resort, but if it is used you deserved it. We need to stop acting like some physical discipline isn't reasonable then you deal with a child (in your care) that starts being physical with you and you'll sing a different tune.

But either way, if this thread was a story about her abusing her child in Wal Mart, I would still be pissed she hit the child.

That was my point, there never would have been a thread. People are too apathetic.

You dislike of children if your own sad little perogative. But a 2 year old is essentially a little angel who doesn't know better

That is nothing more than an opinion. I have met many well behaved kids that were two.

I know that is why they let so many get away with it. People do burn out as does the money. I know people the brag that they can do it because they have been told that they (CPS) has more pressing matters. One of those people is my brother.

I mean beatings, as in leaving a red hand print for a while.

People are more comfortable ignoring things than trying to do the right thing.

This is the part I don't get. People read ONE story about, what, 10 minutes of a mother's life and they make snap judgments about her parenting.

It's as pathetic as it is discouraging.

I don't have enough time to get into all the pitfalls of making wide assumptions like this but I understand you win brownie points when you brag about being "old school" and whatnot so carry on with the douchery.

The whole point of stuff like this is that it usually never happens. So DUH a thread wouldn't be created if she had simply slapped her child. Now if she had killed the child in Wal Mart or...say...strung her up on a rack, then it would have been posted on the site, and we would all be disgusted with her. Well...some would still be applauding her.

That is nothing more than an opinion. I have met many well behaved kids that were two.

No doubt. Not all children are the same, and some parents make sure their child is content before taking them into public.

But I just read the sentence you quoted. In the quote, I did say that 2 year olds are essentially angels who don't know any better. It was a drawn out post. But essentially, crying is how they communicate at that age.

I know that is why they let so many get away with it. People do burn out as does the money. I know people the brag that they can do it because they have been told that they (CPS) has more pressing matters. One of those people is my brother.

Well it's sad your brother is abusing his child. Let's hope the child is well adjusted as a teen. (well as well adjusted as a hormonal teen can be) You really loose the respect and trust of a kid if all they expect from you is to be hit.

That's modern humans for ya!

Marley, press pause.

She should have known better, period. Anybody with common sense doesn't let their child act out in public, but I forgot the taboo is the norm these days...

You can miss with one of your analytical diatribes because I'll just ignore you and keep it movin'....... ------>

You are starting to do what youu normally do. So I will stop here because no one will get you to change your mind now. I will say you should read things closer though, you post would make more sense that way.

appollo, yr post 104 exhibits a non parenting life style and yrs of non experience. this is not a put down nor is a swat on the hand or butt hitting a child. 2 yr olds do have an attention span and at that age are growing out of the infant (if i cry they willcome) syndrome and learning to manipulate.

my son received about 7 swat and 2 spankings and 10,000 time outs or privledge withdrawns between 2 and 8 yrs of age. must have done something right, 2 kids have been named after him and old friends still ask about him by name.

beatings NO WAY, atten getters "swat"yes but few and far between...logic and reasoning will prevail if applied in a reasonable reliable and consistent manner. of course this is just my experience and opinion.

lol well duh. i dont know anything about parenting. never the less hitting is hitting is hitting. unless it's play hitting

but to be honest. kids start manipulating their parents the minute they are born.

lol well at least you are learning. most people usually keep going, and don't realize i am just laughing the entire time.

There goes more of your presumptive bullshit. Just because you don't know the facts doesn't mean you get to fill in the blanks, and being cock-sure that your imaginary truth is right doesn't make it right.

Thats good. I just realized you were injecting into my posts and then answering what you injected. I figured if you wanted to talk to yourself I would let you.


Anyways you are right. Its funny how serious people take things on the net.

I actually wasn't injecting anything, but hey you get what you want from what you read.

Isn't that what people are always saying when you read a book or poem or something?

I wonder if Saturday Night Live or MadTV will do a parody of it.

Mad TV was cancelled!

They'd probably do a better parody though than SNL would. I'm so over seeing that faceless cast laugh and snicker through their skits.

 

[Joshua_me]

Wow.

It's a shame that no matter how serious the topic it can be reduced to a small handful of gay boys sniping at one another.

Girl please. Oh no you didn't....

That, in a nut shell, represents the sad decline of JUB from a serious place of discussion to a bad episode of the latest MTV reality nonsense.

I hate to see it go.

I'm sort of surprised that some people view slapping/smacking as an acceptable form of discipline for their own children or just the way in general it has been talked about so loosely as if the words or action carries such little weight. I firmly believe in disciplining your child and making them behave, such as spanking or swatting, but never smacking/hitting or any sort of contact on the face/head. I feel that is definitely in a whole other category on it's own and is not appropriate regardless of the child's age... for me it just crosses a line.... striking/smacking/slapping any child in the face. Curious to see what views others have regarding slapping/smacking?

Also, when I was younger I was pretty well behaved, but I did act up and was disciplined. But whenever I was disciplined before or after I remember my parents always talked to me and explained things as to why I was being punished/etc when it was necessary. I do believe in discipline, but sometimes in certain situations I feel some parents are to quick to discipline without trying to communicate with thier children and make them understand what it is they are doing wrong/etc. Please keep in mind here I'm sort of breaking off topic and speaking in generalizations about children, not infants or two year olds, or strangers slapping strangers kids in big box discount stores.

I just feel sometimes certain parents are lazy, tired, or whatever and can be too quick to discipline than to take the time to have a meaningful dialogue with their children. Having effective dialogue at young ages can be extremely beneficial in my opinion down the road as the child ages into adulthood.

Again on all this stuff this is just my point of view, I'm not an expert or a parent... but someday I do hope to have children of my own.

Are you on crack-cocaine? Since when does a 2 year old crying = bad behavior AND bad parenting?

You're clearly pulling "facts" out of your bussy so if I were you I'd spectate to avoid FURTHER making yourself look like an uneducated fool.

I had no idea the world was full of so many pretentious jerks. I'll see your and raise you a

to clarify my opinion, I was referring the the mother for not dealing with her child's outburst what ever its cause may have been. Although it is true that the old man no right to strike the child, if you or anyone says that they have never had the thought of doing it cross their mind, I'd call them a liar.

as to your more personal attack....those who live in glass houses should not throw stones

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

If we're gonna be perfectly honest, look at black America. We've been BRAGGING for years about how our parents don't spare the rod and, uhhh, look at where that's left us.

We're droppin' outta school left and right, killing each other left and right and our STD rates are in the stratosphere. Apparently all those whoopings and spankings aren't fixing a goddamn thing.

What is the definition of insanity but doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
