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.

Thank you for being the voice of reason. Now I understand that it is annoying when someones kid is screaming and crying in a public place, but that gives NO ONE the right to touch someones kid. Now I have three girls, one is five but the other two are under the age of 2 and I have never had an issue with them throwing a fit in a store. One time my daughter took a piece of candy at the check out stand. I walked her right back in the store to hand it to the cashier and apologize. It embarrassed her, but it made her realize that what she did was wrong and I have not had another problem with her since.
But back to the subject if anyone slapped my child I would kick there ass. What kind of person just comes up and hits someones kid. I have not personally had a problem with my kids in a store but I know if a child does not feel good and cant tell you why they just cry and cry. Its not always a lack of parenting that is the problem. Some parents are single and have no choice but to shop with there kids.

thanks for sharing that video LoganSnake, that is exactly how I would react if someone hit or kicked my kid.
