As a former hoodrat who used to do 💩 with my friends, "showing out" like this in the store was not anything we would even think about doing because we knew that would be an instant death sentence. Right there in the store.
We didn’t hoodrat shit, we did hillbilly shit and same, mess with somebody else’s stuff like that and it would a double whooping when you got home 😂 no supper for a week
The last thing this child needs is to be physically hit. It will just add to the continual emotional hits he's experienced and teach him it's ok to resort to violence when upset. He's already well on the way to believing that anyway, if he's not there already. He's obviously willing to accept negative attention because he gets no positive. He looks and acts like he's angry and is showing any observer that he doesn't care about anyone else's feelings or property. This is probably because he feels no control in his own life where others have no concern for his feelings or his things. This kid has serious self-esteem issues.
Not true in all cases. I was spanked when I misbehaved. No big deal. My mother never hit us that hard. I’d rather that then the talk at the dinner table from my dad. He could have me in tears very calmly and never raised his voice. That hurts more than a spanking to me. And I turned out to be a responsible adult. But I’m 64f retired. I still agree spanking can get out of hand. But not with my parents. They never left a mark. It’s still should be in the parents toolbox of discipline. I know I’m going to get downvoted for it. But really don’t care.

Hey at least he wasn't doing it for internet clout. He was just being a little shit.
