Yes I have, I had the prick arrested for punching his daughter in the face with his fist, she wasn't but about 10 years old. So he didn't take off before the police got there I broke his leg.
-
No, I let it go on. It's not my business if some kid is screaming in the store loud enough to break windows and a mother decides to take her kid firmly in hand.

Several times. Just last month a man slapped his little boy and I do mean little. Em rose to her full height and glared at him he then verbally attacked Em threatening to slap her too as he body shoved her up against the wall. Long story short the pu**y left the store with his dignity in shreads. They act like no one will step in. Both he and his wife were blown away strangers would pony up and get involved. Shameful

No because I am one of those parents. I see absolutly nothing wrong with giving your child a slap on the hand or backside if they are being rowdy and obnoxious. If I saw an adult really beating on their kid that's different but a little smack is not doing any damage so I just mind my business.

No, I didn't have to get involved I saw a man, step in when a women was hitting a young boy, in the parking lot at wal-mart. They called the police, she was drunk, the boys father came and got him.

None of my business... I wish more people would disallow their children to have screaming fits in public, which is not to say that I wouldn't say something if I witnessed a child being abused.
-
No, I have never seen a child abused by physical punishment..I have seen spankings which couldn't have hurt physically (they were more of a psychological pain for the child)...and I was glad because I would have liked to have spanked the kid as well :) Please don't think I advocate child abuse..that's not what I meant.

I was out one day shopping and i witnessed a woman hit her son who was approx 3 years old. She hit him across the back of the legs which resulted in him falling face first into the ground. She yanked him up by the arm and did it again and again each time he would fall she would yank him back up by the arm. The poor mite was sobbing. I froze to the spot for about 5 minutes as i couldn't believe what i was seeing, me and two other people approached this woman asking her what the hell did she think she was doing, she replied its my son i do what i want mind your f***ing business i replied by punching her in the mouth. The police were called and i was arrested for assault!!! Nice world we live in

Yes I have, there was a couple at a supermarket with a wee girl about 4 years old. They were putting their shopping through the checkout and not watching the child who was playing with the trolley. She caught her hand in it and yelled and her father grabbed her hand yanked it out taking skin off it and making it bleed and then proceeded to belt her hand telling her she shouldn't have done it. No one else said a word just stood there so I stepped in. They left their groceries and the store fast. I left my shopping there as well and told everyone I was ashamed of them and I would not shop there anymore.
-
No. Its illegal here. Any kind of hitting (even a light spank)so the police would get involved otherwise
-
I think spanking is acceptable, but not in public.

There was this one time when I was driving home, I was this guy hit a kid (a preteen, I guess) with a brick. I don't know why, but I didn't stick around to find out. I mean, the guy has a brick, what am I supposed to do?
-
Yes, and I called the police, too.
-
No, I don't. But I do remember one night 16 years ago, I was at the post office to get some money orders, and there was a guy there with his two young sons. He disciplined them by addressing them as "Son" instead of by their first names. I don't remember if it was one or both of them, but a clerk saw them playing around the stamp machine, she corrected them, but then the father told her to mind her own business and that she was once a child herself. The clerk then told me that the kids were destroying government property. She had ever right to correct them.

I've seen one or two parents react a little overboard, but it clearly wasn't ABUSE, and I didn't think it was my place it step in. If I thought that a child were clearly being abused, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. I have grown to love all children over the fast few years, and I wouldn't stand by and watch one get abused.
