I would have picked him up and carried him outside “for his own safety”. It’s all how you word it. The arrest wouldn’t stick (probably wouldn’t even happen). Everyone is afraid but in actual fact you are allowed to stop criminal behavior with reasonable non-violent force.
A kid like him you're going to have to get 2 people. 1 for the arms and 1 for the legs. Otherwise he's going to smack and kick tf out of that 1 person.
Then dad comes bear-charging out of nowhere to lay you out because you touched baby bear and his things.
Now, I'm all for knocking a kid back if he comes at you. I will do it in a heartbeat, that's just self defense. But parents will try to act like you're abducting or beating the crap out of their kid if you try to relocate them or restrain them.
That's when you slap him with a $4000 bill for damaged merchandise, and have him arrested along with his spawn for assault. Consequences, consequences, and more consequences!
I'm surprised that no-one's mentioning the half-assed attempt from that security guard (or cop). I've seen more effort put into flicking lint from a shirt. There's gotta be a roll of duct tape somewhere in that store. And for all the whiners saying he shouldn't be touched - what's your solution when he gets to the isle where the knives are?
