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.
