It really grinds my gears when passers by get involved into something that clearly doesn't involve them, such as parenting of another child. Sure, if the child is seen being severely beaten, I can see that being an advantage, however, I am personally acquainted with a man who almost lost his parenting rights for giving his son a spank on the ass at a grocery store because he wouldn't stop screaming to buy him a certain cereal he wanted. Some old lady thought of it as child abuse and called child services. I won't go into details, but those who have been through it probably know the hell it is to deal with them.
