You can't stop a child from crying on a whim. They need to learn they can't get what they want. This man had no right to touch that little girl. Just because a child is crying is not a reason for the parent to stop everything he/she is doing and leave a store when they are just trying to check out and take care of the behavior in private. The mother had done nothing wrong and those of you that think the mother wasn't being a good parent because the child was crying child apparently have no children of your own.</p>RickFri, 04 Sep 2009 17:21:28 -0000http://www.phawville.com/blog/man-slaps-child-in-walmart/#comment-15981834<p>debbie12, I had to make an account just to rebuttle what you said about not blaming this man for even touching this child. Children are children. Sometimes they throw temper tantrums and you have to let them play it out so they know no attention will come if they do it again in a store as the child is trying to condition the parent into getting their way by means of throwing an embarassing fit for not getting what they want at the store. The mother was right in letting the child throw her fit and not paying attention to it so the child would not get a reaction out of the parent and not try and do it more often in the future. This man just gave the child attention and the child will most likely throw another tantrum because of the attention she got because of this situation now in the media and everyone else involved. This child may have learned, that hey if I throw a tantrum, someone might slap me, but I'll get what I want, plus attention that comes with it, and expect this huge dramatic situation where everyone is surrounding the child with comfort and apologies, etc.</p>RickFri, 04 Sep 2009 13:10:50 -0000http://www.phawville.com/blog/man-slaps-child-in-walmart/#comment-15978818<p>debbie12, I had to make an account just to rebuttle what you said about not blaming this man for even touching this child.
