Walmart Violence

I don't know how many of you have heard about the guy in Georgia that slapped a two year old girl. Apparently he was upset because the girl was crying and the mom wouldn't stop it. After telling the mom that if she didn't "shut that kid up" he would "do it for her", the child kept crying. This man then walked several aisles over, picked up the crying girl, and slapped her several times on the face. He then looked at the mother and stated "there I told you I'd take care of it." Another shopper then held the man until security came and the woman pressed charges. The man is now facing felony child abuse charges....well, DUH!

OMG!!! If ANY person EVER, and I mean EVER, did something like that to one of my girls I would HAVE A FIT!!! I am not a violent person, but had that man done that to my family he would spend the better part of the rest of his life searching for his private parts. You do NOT put YOUR hands on somebody's child in any violent manner whatsoever, no matter how much that child is annoying you. Now, I have been in stores, restaurants, etc before where the kids just don't stop whining or crying...and it can get VERY annoying...but not that annoying!

I cannot even start to explain how I felt when I read this story...unbelievable...

A friend of mine put the link to this story on her Facebook page - and I said much the same thing. I understand that children can be a pain in the ass - but holy CRAP if that ever happened to Grace I'D be arrested. The girl was only 2 years old.
