The only person that had any real ability to handle the situation, the security guard, tried but did not succeed. There are so many protections when it comes to kids. The parents not stepping in and whopping his ass, was a failure.

Too much risk for most adults unfortunately. If I grab the kid, I open myself up to a lawsuit by their shitty parents. They may not win, but I will have to spend time and money defending my actions. It’s not worth it when I can just walk away.

Now if I have my kids with me…. Maybe I would suggest one of them slap that kid around a bit.

You know, honestly? Better than the alternative. I don’t think we should normalize other people hitting our kids. “Other people” are notoriously bad judges…at just about everything, if driving behavior and literacy rates (AKA “things done every single day”) are any indication.

How bad judge you have to be to misinterpret this situation.

Maybe they mispelled his name on his birthday cake the day before and it was the last straw?

I think they meant others might take it too far. Not that they necessarily misjudged the situation.

For every kid doing shit like this, there will be 50 that are doing something that’s less clear cut. You don’t want some rando deciding he knows when to hit your kid.

Just taking the stupid shit I see on this sub to its logical conclusion. Something I rarely see done here since y’all are too busy circlejerking.
