Stranger slaps toddler for crying in Wal-Mart

[usswanker]

It happened at Wal Mart ............. not sure about the Wal Marts in the States but the finest of trailer trash frequent our Wal Marts.

On a serious note the old dude looked pretty unstable to begin with. I would have killed the old basterd if that was my child.

You have no idea my friend.

Still this guy looks like a old douche bag.

Dunno what the big deal is. Mexicans beat the ^^^^ out of their kids all the time.

thats prolly why a lot of them end up in gangs or as drop outs btw-my dad is from Venezuela But seriously though, i dont know where you grew up, but i have had a lot of Mexican friends in my life time and none of them were ever beaten

Ours close to me are really nice, but I've been to others that would make your skin crawl!

If people don't know by now then it's time to do some PSAs to get the word out. If a child gets beat whether it's a spanking or a slap in the face, it might get them to do something in the moment, but mostly what it does is teach the child that it's okay to hit people who are weaker than they are. If parents can't raise a child without hitting them, they are doing it wrong. It may not be PC, but it's true.

At the same time, the parents of the screaming child who are responsible for it, well, if they were to get hit -- I'm not saying I would agree with it but I would understand it.

Dr. Spock admitted he was wrong. There is nothing wrong with spanking.....beating is another story. I work with kids, take it from me, that time out BS doesn't work most of the time.

Wal-Mart sux.

 

[plasmid303]

This is nowhere as bad as that whole black friday trampling, but it sucks.

Wal-Mart. Always low prices. Low morals too. Always.

 

[King Darkness]

Mexicans suck too.

You know what? I like Wal-Mart. It used to be about the best place to find action figures (other than the exclusives that target was so good at getting) and the prices really are hard to beat.

That being said...the one near me is rated locally as one of the most dangerous places to be. They are having a hell of a time opening Supercenters here even though Target has 2 Super Targets and a third on the way because of all of the trouble.

I sure wish this was not the case. But sadly, it is.

Target >>> Walmart

They ought to have a law against this type of abuse. That's part of the problem. The parents or guardian, need to shop, sure, but they ought to be looking after the child properly, and take them out when they are relaxed or open to it. Once they start crying the parent, supposedly smarter and more mature, ought to remove the child from the premises or take the child home. Children cry because they are tired and frustrated. Crying is the signal, "I'm not happy, Jan", so the it's up to the parent to remedy the situation. Not by hauling the kid around in a distressed state. That takes planning and com mun ic ation.

Keeping up with the Joneses isn't about giving in and doing what everyone else does because of a "if you can't beat them join them" mentality. Maybe some ed u cation needs to be involved, so that good behavioral skills start being employed rather than denied. Learning from example, when the examples we see are negative, leads to negative behavior being repeated and reinforced. It incorporates taking some responsibility for, not only your own actions but situations around you that you have some ability to impose control over.

As is usual, the previously innocent bystander, who tried to seek some intervention from the responsible adult on more than one occasion , is subject to the law. In the meantime, the cause, being the mental and emotional abuser, is allowed to continue unabated and without suitable consequence for the action or, in this case, lack of action on their part.

I'm not talking disapline here but abuse. I think ANYONE who abuses kids or beats their gf or wife are the lowest scum. I get pissed thinking about it. If someone touched my kid I'm knocking them the **** out. period. End of story.

10/10....sounds good! I got nothing! I will be going back to the Coliseum for every Monday night football game so long as they are still having all you can eat wings and pizza for $9.99.

Is that the Colliseum in Mechanicsburg? I didn't know they had that on Mondays.

This is a pretty sweeping statement. I'm assuming that you haven't been around 2-year-olds very much.

2-year-olds are finicky and can go from completely happy to a temper tantrum in mere seconds over the littlest things. I, too, get annoyed when people don't attempt to control their kids. I say attempt, because I can't fault someone for trying and failing (especially with the terrible twos). This 61 year old has serious problems and should rightfully be locked away. In no respect could I view him as an innocent bystander.

Target >>> Walmart

I read somewhere that Target intentionally keeps its prices slightly higher than Wal-Mart, for the purpose of attracting a different clientele. I think the chances of a random stranger slapping your infant are lower in a Target than a Wal-Mart.

Off topic, but I had a ^^^^ty Wal-Mart experience just yesterday. I went to one of the "Marketplace" Wal-Marts or whatever they are, and the woman charged me $2-3 extra for something I ordered, ringing it up as if it were something else. I told her right after I paid and saw the receipt. She said I had to go to customer service. Of course, there were 6 people in line with full carts trying to check out there. So, I said "screw it" and was gonna just leave the store. On the way, the woman told the manager or something, who told me I could just go to customer service and quickly get it taken care of. I asked "do I have to wait in line?" She said, "yes, because there is only one cashier there." I told her that it was not worth $2 for me to wait in line for 20 minutes, and she looked completely lost. I just left.

In my opinion, any reasonable manager would not make someone wait in that position, but the fact that she couldn't understand me not wanting to wait in line for 20 minutes for $2 speaks volumes, I think.

They sure do!

Oh and they have all you can eat crab legs on Friday Saturday and Sunday for $15.99.

Nevermind they stopped that promotion. But Arooga's still has them every Tuesday for $16.99.
