Thats fucked up, no seriously there is a time and place for discipline. There is also a person. I do not condone wanton cruelty to kids and a stranger walking up on a child and slapping them IS wanton cruelty, what kind of message are we sending?
A parent should discipline their child, I have no problem with them slapping them if thats what it takes. A person of authority should discipline their kids, i.e. teachers, nanny's etc etc ... not some dimwit WWII war hero stranger! I'd break his hip if I were there.
