BristolCity1992 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 OK was at work today, going about my business wasting time as it was like last 10 minutes of my shift.I notice some kid crying and being pushed along by his mum who is getting angry over something that I could not make out, I think nothing of it as this is quite common, however, I glance up and I see the mother hit this 2 year old straight across the face.I remember starting a thread a while back that started up a interesting debate about if we should smack children on the bottom if they were naughty, not everyone agreed but I think everyone agreed that smacking a kid in the face was out of line.I just watched the baby sit there stunned and then it burst out crying, the mum did seem sorry, but I don't know, I almost went mad and burst over there to confront her but I regained my composure and I went in the back up to relive my anger.Did I do the right thing? Maybe I should have reported her or something I don't know but she could have done it by accident I suppose, she just kind of flipped.Madness anyway and what would you lot have done if put in a similar position?__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 It's hard to say. That is shocking behaviour. I have a nearly 3 year old and I've never raised my hand to her at all. What can you do? If she seemed sorry, she probably knew she done wrong. I don't know is my very unhelpful answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity1992 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah I was shocked as well, I just did not know what to do, I thought later on if she can flip like that in a busy shop what does she do at home?She did seem sorry though but meh I don't know.
