Help answer this question below.

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.
by Jewel on September 3rd, 2009
He wouldn't ever do it again! I can't even begin to imagine how angry I would be.
by Talimze on September 4th, 2009
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.
by RC loves ice cream on September 3rd, 2009
In all likelihood I would punch his face through the back of his skull.
by Firebrand on September 3rd, 2009
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
by Anonymous on September 3rd, 2009
I would have twisted his head off, without vulgarities.
by Anonymous on September 3rd, 2009
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.
by Ocean Flower on September 3rd, 2009
Well...I wouldn't even think twice...my reaction would be the full force of my fist connecting nicely with his nose...that would be repeated until either he squeeled or he stopped moving...no freaks ever touch my children!
by Rollie on September 3rd, 2009
In that particular situation I would have called 911 and reported him for child abuse in addition to calling store security and the police.
by Eileen on November 20th, 2009
Being a former cop I would kick it into mommy mode relatively quickly, without hesitation drop kick the sucker then and only then would I notify store security.
by Kayleigh on September 4th, 2009
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.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on September 4th, 2009
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! :(
by mrrw on November 20th, 2009
I'd file charges against him. The ___.
by Jane on November 20th, 2009
i'd call the police and or follow him and get his license plate and sue the shit out of that fucker or have him pay some sort of fine, that has to be illegal. He should go to jail, even if it's like 5 days in jail and a fine and some classes.
by chick whisperer on October 1st, 2009
beat the s...t out of him and then call the cops
by iKnow on October 1st, 2009
Attack.
by bye friends health problems on September 19th, 2009
I would immediately call the police and press charges against anyone who slapped my child! That is plain abusive and it makes me wonder just what they might be doing to their own flesh and blood.
by DukeG on September 4th, 2009
Arrest him.
by ILoveLois on September 4th, 2009
Knock him the **** out.
by Randy on September 4th, 2009
If it is true that he said afterwords, "I told you if you didn't shut her up, I would", he would have been dead on the spot. My defense would be protection of my family from an assault.
by PrivateGomerSpooner on September 4th, 2009
He wouldn't have gotten the second slap in as he would be lying on his back in the store unconscious.
by Lazarus on September 4th, 2009
Certain phrases and actions spring to mind, but in deference to the request for no vulgarities I would be very, very, vexed
by tuvw on November 20th, 2009
I would holler for help and then I'd get busy beating him for all I was worth. I'd most likey be charged with aggravated assult. He would be charged with one count of assult, one count of aggravated assult and one count of child abuse. I'd do my time gladly.
by Hardcore Conservative on October 1st, 2009
Bury him out back by the shed.
by pagan-babe on October 1st, 2009
Slap him back and try to restrain him or get some one to restrain him until the police came
by Spengo on September 4th, 2009
I won't go into detail, I'll just say that, I have a 2nd degree blackbelt and spent time in the United States Marine Corps...I have been trained in how to vent my frustrations through someone...if that someone is the one I'm frustrated with...I can only say that his family would cry when and if they found the remains
by BaileysMom12 COAT of Motherly Love on September 4th, 2009
I would probably go into such a rage that I would not know what I was doing. I would just hope that someone would be there to stop me before I ended up in jail for murder.
by crazystudent on September 4th, 2009
I would get him arrested!! and probably hit him!!!
by katydid15 on September 4th, 2009
Oh I think the mama bear in me would kick in big time and I would be hitting that man until I knew my child was safely away from him and then there would be the police to deal with.
by dancer on September 4th, 2009
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
by Shavale is very happy on September 3rd, 2009
There is no sense in my saying what I would have done as... he (the stranger) wouldn't be able to remember it anyway.
by Miss Anubis loves this season on September 3rd, 2009
Strung them out in the kitchenware aisle
by Sunshine in a COAT of Sunshine on September 3rd, 2009
When I fist saw this story I was so angry that is was all I talked about all day. I would have been carted off to jail with him but at least his face would have been messed up.
by stillcurious on December 20th, 2009
I'd remove a bite size section of their throat with my teeth and just watch the rest unfold.
by philosopher-saint on November 29th, 2009
Bleed him.
Without a sound.
;-)
by Autism Knows is finally Maestro on November 20th, 2009
I would call the police and let them handle the situation. The man had no right to lay a hand on my child. Good question! Thanks!
by curlysue on November 20th, 2009
I would have ripped him a new one.Im sure i would be sitting in jail because when it comes too my kids i have a bit of a temper.
by Anymousee on November 20th, 2009
If I had a kid and some-one did that I'd break their lovemaking arm and get security to drag his big stinking back crevis out of the place and into a jail cell.
I hope some-body did something similar to the thug you saw in walmart.
by Gen.ButtNaked on November 20th, 2009
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!
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on November 19th, 2009
He would have been in serious trouble. That's all I can say without getting vulgar. : )
by machinerat on October 1st, 2009
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.
by Little big mouth on September 4th, 2009
With no vulgarity, the man would no longer have a hand. NOBODY would touch my child. So I'd either knife him or set his house on fire
by allzee on September 4th, 2009
I'd make him keep it.

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.
by Rip Van Winkle on December 17th, 2009
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.
by curlysue on December 13th, 2009
I have a temper soo i would slap him into next week.
by Gene H on December 2nd, 2009
I try to be reasonable. But in this case I would beat that man until he could never slap another child.
by randomness - is now a Maestro on December 2nd, 2009
I'd call the police and get the guy arrested for assault. Hitting someone is never okay, unless in self-defence. Hitting a child who cannot fight back is even worse.
What do you think of Texas Judge William Adams whipping his daughter as punishment for Internet misuse in this video?

You're reading A man in a WalMart store got ticked off with someone's crying child and slapped it. He did not know the mother or child. What would you do if a stranger slapped your child? No vulgarities please.
