    My first reaction would be to kill him right then and there. However, it would most certainly land me in prison....so, I would just simply make that phone call to someone that owes me a big favor.

    I don't have a child, but if I did and that happened, my kid would get to learn what her mother looks like when she's ripping some guy's throat out with her teeth. Not many kids get to see that sort of thing at an early age, and that's a shame.

    I would certainly be very tempted to haul off and slap him but I would report him for assault and child abuse and make sure that he was charged

    First, I would yell bloody murder for the security guards, call for the police - and do everything within my power and abilities to have the person charged with assault and injury to a child. Then, I'd hope that he spent a very l-o-n-g time behind the kind of bars where all the customers wear black and white striped pajamas seven days a week.

    I would hope for that guy that my husband is not with me when he does that. I do not think I would hit him or do anything. I think I would be completely shocked, unable to do something. I ofcourse would want to hit him in the face or whatever, but I think I would rather check if my son is alright. I think I would not be able to think rationally and burst out in tears and in wtf's. Unlikely no one else saw it, so security will come anyway. My husband would mow him down with anything he gets his hands on, that is one thing I know for sure.

    I believe he could be arrested. That is assault and I would immediately start screaming to attract attention and ask a burly guy to restrain this person and ask the store manager to call the police. Over reaction? No one touches my child without permission. Slapping my child? A grownup slapping my child? I don't think so! :(

    He slapped the child about 5 times. If he came near my child and even got one slap in, I can't imagine he would get anymore in. I know I would be screaming at the top of my lungs and hitting him with some grocery item. My adrenalin would be so high that if I could pick him up, I would and throw him against anything: glass, whatever. And I'm against violence. +5

    If I was standing with my child and this person struck my child, I would think he is crazy or had a weapon, but after that initial thought, he would never slap anything else, ever again, that I can assure you of! You can do many things, but do not mess with my children, you would have a better chance at winning the lotto, then walking away from the beating I would inflict on that person or anyone who stepped in to stop!

    Was this the same story where he warned the parent to make the child be quiet or he'd do it for her? It's hard to say how I'd react, because I can't see myself keeping a crying child in the same spot long enough to push someone else to slap them (meaning the parent might have been at fault to some degree for not taking the child out of the situation for the consideration of others). Some parents don't do anything about their crying or obnoxious children because they want others to suffer along with them.

    Once here now gone... now  back?

    Mixed feelings, having recently been to walmart, with some ladies child that was being a horror, I know what went through my head. I didn't do it, but I wanted to, and I feel like I would be justified. I wanted to do the same to the mother. On the other hand however, if it was my child and anyone so much as touched his/her clothing they would need their face scrapped off the floor with a shovel. I'm not sure I'd be able to even think about the consequences, that scares me a little.

    After I got through "ENLIGHTENING" him on the DOs & DON'Ts of slapping a child, I would get a WalMart employee to put out one of those "BEWARE WET SPOT" signs, mop him up and then call the POLICE!
    I once knocked a guy "SILLY" (not completly out) for slapping a toddler out of the seat in the restauant. I was just getting up from the counter,after having my hamburger and coffee, when I seen this guy sitting with his wife(?) in a booth on the same side. This cute toddler (female) standing in the seat,whinning about something, I saw him reach across the table and slap her so hard she fell out of the seat. As I walked by I hit him so hard he just sat there with his head lolling around. I told his wife(?) to tell him to pick on someone his own size,next time. I walked on up to the regester,to pay my bill. The waitress had seen all this, she took my bill and tore it up and said;"Thank You" I walked slowly out to my truck. Hopping that he would want to "talk" to me about it,but he never did.
