I hate so much this way to make "education". Few days ago, i saw a young mother, who beat shes daughter in the street because girl asked ice cream. and of course, that i try to talk with this crazy young woman. Was impossible, i offer my ice cream to this little girl, but mother don t let she to eat ice cream. I ask she why, was sure that maybe girl catch cold, and because she can t eat ice cream( even if this woman just abuse shes kid) i try with calm to make she don t beat this girl any more. You know how i maked she don t beat this girl? I call kids protection and i say that i will keep she there until they will come.So, this mother answer to my request just when she was afraid. How you react in my place? I hate she so much, i am sorry, that i don t insist to much to call childs protection.

There are ways of dealing with this type of situation. If the child was pitching a temper tantram then I would think it would be at the parents discretion as to what to do. I just let mine fuss and throw the fit. They eventually see its not going to get them what they want and mine doesn't do it as much now as she used to. DCS is a very questionable issue for so many people. If the mother had nothing to worry about she would have just went on and not done anything about what you said. What would bother me is that you said that she acted in fear. So I would assume as you would have, what else would be going on. I hope she takes it and learns from it.

I generally watch these things and believe i hate this. I feel if i should give a nice slap on her face and tell her that she is a child and its the right of children to do mischief. But obviously i cant do that otherwise she will say me that she is my her daughter, she can do whatever she wants and its a bad truth. Happy mylotting!

If I saw someone abusing a child, regardless of who the person was, or how they were related to the child, I'd take a very discreet video with my cellphone to prove I witnessed the attack (like 10 seconds or so), then I'd phone the local police, let them know what I saw, e-mail them the video for evidence, and if they needed me to give any further statements, I'd leave my information with them.

This was my first idea, but i was so angry, because she beat this kid badly, that i forgot, but i ask myself, if somebody else beat this mother, how can be? or maybe in that family all beat all, who know?

Hi there, well beat/spank a child is ok for me but it should have valid reason why you have to do that. I have already daughter and sometimes i dont have patience to her so sometimes i have to confessed that i spank her for some disciplinary action. Anyway, i dont do it in public i dont think its proper to do that publicly shame to other people. I've seen this situation already and its really makes me upset, keep on mylotting.

I don't mind if she's spanking her kids a bit, but not in public. Children, regardless how old they are are just like adult will be embarrass if we humiliate them in public. If we need to discipline our kids, find some place more quite and secluded. Doing that in public not only embarrass them but show everyone the failure of us as a parent.

I can only imagine that this so called mother beating her kid in public is just the tip of the iceberg. And that child proection services or the police need to be called every time someone witnesses something like that. Child abuse impacts the kids for life. They loose a sense of self-estime and trust in others because they were betrayed by their parents.
