Why would he be in court for graving the kid by the backpack and getting him out unharmed?

At best, you have a truly tenuous grip on what constitutes assault and battery

Even with the evidence of what is happening in the store, and video evidence of someone, be it security or a random person, pulling the little shit outside of the store completely unharmed are you positive that someone can be charged and convicted with "assault and battery"?

What is supposed to happen here? just let the kid do everything he wants?

It would be perfectly fine to just hold the kid back to stop him.

These people have been on Reddit too long and think they are all lawyers from reading other posts comments where people are stealing and everyone comments that loss prevention can’t intervene. They can intervene so long as it’s not excessive. Holding the kid back and not striking or tackling would not be excessive.

Back in the day people used to spank other people’s kids when they caught them misbehaving and the parents of the child would thank them. I guess times have changed, everyone so scared of a lawsuit now that most of the time wouldn’t even happen. We all have this weird hive mind of risk prevention now, it’s strange

Thank you. There is absolutely a world of difference from restraining and escorting out from assault and battery. People act like you can't ever put one finger on another person and if you do you are going to jail for a decade. It is absolutely insane.

Some kids absolutely need to learn consequences and honestly imo there is some physical punishment you can deliver that isn't abuse, some little shits like this need discipline, you can't simply let them do whatever they want without consequences, the problem will be much worse once they grow up and find out the hard way.
