Question:
I'd yell out Hey! What the heck you think you're doing?
i'd walk up he'd say something like mind your own business!
Then i'd say I bet if i were a cop you would react differently
he'd say Well you ain't one so F off!
then i'd step on the guy's shoe and punch him in the face
and ask another shopper to grab the kid and call the cops while i try to help the man realize that what he did was wrong.. if i have to then i'll get him on the ground and get something to wrap his wrists with.. i know that groceries have security guards with cuffs on them.. so it shouldn't be too hard to detain him.. but yeah.. this is a serious issue.. and i'd take serious measures to stall him until proper authorities arive and deal with him the way they do it..
Answer:
abusing your children is wrong.. but isn't it better for the parents to do that in public? in public they wouldn't hit them as hard..
Answer:
ive seen a lot..
like this one time.. i was in the gym yard..
during gym time..
and i saw this one guy who was kicking his son behind his butt..
then he rammed his head into the metal rail wall thing that our school has for blocking tresspassers..
scary as hell..
but our whole class ended up calling the teachers and i believe he was caught =]]
Answer:
I think, to a certain extent of course, it is neccessary for a child to be beaten until a certain age. But in public... ER... That ruins a child's self esteem.
Answer:
people who abuse their kids should all die. innocent children don't deserve that kind of treatment! if i was there, i'd cover the kid and run them to safety. i can take a beating.
Answer:
i will just stand there... and mumbling to myself..can that #$%^& stopping beating the child......
children have pride... but if they are really mischevious and running all around.. then they get themselves punished..AT HOME..
not in public..
Answer:
the kid probably deserved it. kids are getting more and more out of hand. i'd just mind my own business
unless the parent is going overboard.
Answer:
that kid probably deserved it
i do find it hecka annoying how bystanders gets in the way of parents.
Answer:
If the child is clearly misbehaving, & is getting smacked, I'd walk away.
BUT, if it was like a freaking WWF Smackdown right then & there, I'd call the cops or something.
I can't exactly throw or hit the abuser.. cause I could be called out on that.
Answer:
oh - that's really rude. but we just can't simply butt into their business. they might scold us back, or worse. hit us back. haha.
if that happens you can do your worse to him and claim defense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
muhaha show him a taste of his own medicine
i agree if the kid is like throwing cereal and stomping on grapes and the mothers whacks his hand a bit, that'll be fine, my mom probably make some remark of how i was when i was young -__-
but like if the mother/dad starts punching the kid in the head or whatever oh man, i'd stand realll close to the parent and make her/him feel very uncomfortable and hopefully she'll/he'll stop, if not
i stick my foot out between the kid and mother/father and once they touch me, they're going down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
im so violent.
Answer:
being the scared little me.. i'd THINK that i'd try to stop it... but in reality, i'd just stand there hesitating.
through leadership class.. i'd probably act now.
my best friend and i experienced this before. i was with her at her dad's dry cleaner store and its kind of in a ghetto place. all of a sudden we heard screaming and 4 teens chasing another one beating him up. then a truck came and the 4 guys left and the beaten up guy walked away. i felt sad for the guy but i didn't know what to do. my best friend and i acted like that didn't happened.
Answer:
i would freeze too and pretend i never saw.... lol
honestly, i'd be too scared to saysomething about it since well.. i might get hit, too =X
who knows. that person might be dangerous.
BUT if i were an adult.. and the person scolding seems younger than me... then i'd end that beating. haha
Answer:
Yeah, if physically ABUSING the kids I would tell them they need to stop. If they're just teaching them discipline & what not and spanking them, I wouldn't care.
Answer:
ohh i know!
i absoulutely hate it when parents do that to their kids! i wnna like go over to the parent and tell them to stop...! its horrible T.T
Answer:
I would feel badd for the kid
and manyy different thoughts in my head would appear
and hope they arent near me :[
Answer:
I would tell the man DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
and run away.
Answer:
I was in a mall and this mother pushed her kid roughly down onto the ground and whapped him across the head.! The poor thing just wanted her to take him to the bathroom. Honestly, I notice that alot of parents mostly young parents [ not all though ] don't pay much attention to their children. I mean I don't mean to say there bad people just that you have a kid, and it's not like a animal you can ignore if it's whining. I mean I was in walmart in the clothing sections and this women left her baby in the cart to go try on a shirt! and the dressing room was way over on the other end too! Me and my mom were speechless. Though we didn't say a word because we had no right to tell her what she was doing wrong with her child.
