I agree that if one wishes to become a parent they should be prepared to exercise patience, and
actually RAISE the child.
I mean, why have them if you don't plan to care for them properly?
What's the point? |

And how would you deal with a child having a temper tantrum when you absolutely must get your
shopping done in a certain amount of time? |

I kind of agree parents shouldn't but you will be surprised that most parents avoid this and then
slap you when you get home . |

Hell, it saves me smacking the whining little ----'s. |

So bad parents should be arrested? Even if we accept that what you describe is bad parenting I think
your conclusion is insane. |

I have tried to "reason" with a child before.
Actually I have tried with all 4 of my kids.
I wish people would understand that some kids just have a meltdown and there is nothing else to do
but hurry up, buy the items and get back home.
No parent is proud to have to resort to those tactics but sometimes that is what it takes.
The best scenario is to be able to shop with 2 adults so that one can remove the child if a tantrum
starts but that is not always possible.
I have been known to push my cart to the front of the store and tell a cashier that I'm sorry but
since my kids can't behave we won't be buying any groceries today and could they re-stock them for
me.
Doesn't take too many times of that before they learn to behave. |

I think its wrong when parents have their kids on a leash, like dogs.
But i'd you had kids, and have been in that situation with a screaming kid, then you would want to
roll your sleeves just so you could spank the hell out of the kid. Lol. Of course not in a an
abusive way, but they need it sometimes. |

If the child is not behaving, and is uncontrollable then yes the parent should have the right to
take them out of the store. As long as the parent is not hitting them or something like that then
it's OK. Plus it's not fair to other shoppers if they have to listen to a child screaming, and
throwing a fit in the store. |

I believe that the parent is simply trying to be firm with their child. I certainly wouldn't say
that it should be classed as assault. It is entirely up to the parent as to how they discipline
their own child.
Screaming children need to be disciplined otherwise they end up being spoilt. If a parent looks as
though they are attempting to discipline their child in a reasonable manner (and I believe that
dragging them by the arm is reasonable if the child is screaming) then it is best not to intervene.
However, if a parent is obviously abusing their child, such as punching them or displaying some
other form of violence towards them, then perhaps you could voice your concerns to someone such as
the police rather than the parent, to save a confrontation. |

I care for a 4 year old in the body of a 64 year old woman with dementia and physchotic issues too
numerous to list. I have to physically restrain her, hold on to her or she will wander off on a whim
for a coke. Follow any kind-hearted pervert to his car and bend over for caffeine and sugar, a
cigarette. I feel like an ogre, but she cant remember anything 3 minutes after a detailed discussion
on what I need her to do, like stay beside me. I am only trying to keep her safe. She will shape a
dozen falls in front of anyone to get a wheel chair that she does not need. Shaped falls so
perfected I could rent her out for a stunt-woman in the movies. A woman at rehab saw me ignore the
request for a coke. She went without asking and bought her one knowing nothing about my ward. She
had no clue if this woman was on dialysis, or that the load of a coke could kill her!!! Or that a
trip to WalMart was coming and the load on her kidneys would find her peeing on the floor. I
refrained from telling her to butt-out ,or explain her private issues. Just returned the can and
said, "No Thanks. The parent dragging her kid could have just let go and let the child run into the
arms of a stranger. Then called the cops to report a kidnapping.
Keepmindok. You don't know diddly. I don't see one thumbs up comment that supports your rant. |

You evidently don't have kids. Parents who appear to be dragging their children around the store
are probably disciplining them for something. At least they are paying attention to their children.
Those who do not pay attention to their children are the ones who be arrested. Above all, you should
mind your own business. Parents know their children best and what they do with their children is
their business, not yours. Parents should have ever right to discipline their children if they want
to and they should be allowed to discipline them however they want to. However, if they really do
harm the child such as making them bleed or disciplining them for no reason, then they should be
arrested for assault. |

The child first of all prolly deserves what ever punishment the parent is giving too them ... And
its a parents choice if they want too hit the child or not .. Its OK in so many ways |

WOW!! What a bold statement ASSAULT. You should come by my house. You would probably want to have me
arrested. There is nothing wrong with tough love. If you baby a child they grow up to be pansies.
Look disciplining children has been around for years it's part of growing up. But I'm sure you will
have something to say. You obviously wear you heart on your sleeve , since you have had a rebuttal
for every opinion. People like you don't belong on this website. It's "For and Against" not CRY AND
PLEAD YOUR CASE. Get over yourself!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It really depends on whether the parent is physically abusing the child or whether they are just
trying to control a child throwing a tantrum. How would you know unless it was obvious? I would
agree that children who are brought up well tend to behave better, but they are all capable of
kicking off and having a wobbler every now and again. On the other hand, if the parent was dragging
the child around by the leg, then it would be a good idea to intervene. |

We should all be fortunate enough to be half as wise as keepmindok appears to think they are. The
more self righteous liberals talk the more I appreciate my 2nd Amendment rights! |
