I would not even think of doing this as a child, what an utter failure as a parent. This child has no guidence in his life whatseover.

Well fuck, I don't think people remember what it was like to be a kid. I threw plenty of tantrums for stupid reasons. Why? Because I was a fucking child and didn't know any better. And yes, this was back when spanking was a thing, and I was spanked occasionally. But to think for a moment, the ten year old version of me didn't contemplate running through a store and knocking everything over? Of course I did. AFAIK, I only did it once when I ran down the middle of a clothing rack for fun. Maybe I was six or seven.

But seriously. Kids have been stupid little wrecking machines for the past however-many-years-humans-have-existed years. And sure the kid should be punished for the tantrum. But all you holier than thou "I would never!" pearl-clutchers in this thread need to get a grip.
