    I politely but very firmly ask her not to do that if she doesn't want me to start beating on her. People like that need anger management and parenting classes. They probably need to be knocked around by guys like me too; if they knew terror and pain they might think twice before inflicting it on children.

    Nonsense. Ill disciplined parents produce ill diciplined children; the parents should correct their own behaviour first. In fact they should have sorted themselves out before they stopped using birth control.

    Funny how people who think adults hitting children is fine always say the same thing; "My parents hit me and it It didn't hurt ME any." Don't you think that since you didn't experience what it's like to grow up with parents who communicated with you without resorting to physical force, you're not the best judge of the worth of the benefits of a relationship that doesn't coerce behavior with the threat of pain?

    That's a tricky question. Parents are allowed to discipline their children - a light tap on the bottom, not pulling hair, dragging the kid around, hitting, or threatening the child. Kids do get out of control, but there's a right way to handle it and a wrong way. Being a parent, I might understand the frustration of the mother, but I would also understand the implusiveness of a child and remember that kids are just being kids. Depending on what I perceive the mother's state of mind to be, I might say something to her directly. If I felt the child might be in danger, I might stick around the area just to make sure the child is ok and that the mother calms down. Or bring it to a manager's attention, perhaps. But, if we're all truthful, children get upset, tired, and frustrated, just as parents do at times. Doesn't mean that the child is being abused by the parent. I think we can be very judgmental about other parents and how they deal with their children, but we have been through it all, too. I think how I would react would be determined by what I saw the woman do and if it was more than just a light tap. I don't think any parent should ever slap their child across the face. I think we all can tell when a situation is abusive or not. Also, alot of parents give everything to their children and never say no, the children expect everything and then when they don't get it, they have major temper tantrums and since the parents have given all the control to their kids, they cannot control their kids properly. No excuse for abuse, though. I think we have to go with our intuitions on this. I am not advocating hitting children. I never raised a hand to my children, I just never believed that was the answer.

    Oh I hate the politically correct brigade so ******* much.If it was just a tap on the *** then fine but if the parent was leathering into the child I would call attention to it but sometimes a kid just needs a good twatting.

    It's not political correctness that makes me object to seeing a child slapped in public. You know, it used to be politically correct for a man to hit anyone in his household- wife, children, servants... If it's unnecessary & offensive to slap someone you're married to or you employ, WTF do you NEED to slap a little kid?
