Disturbing photos have emerged of a man who appears to be dragging a little girl by her hair in Walmart.
Erika Burch, was shopping when she spotted the man, who she says, had the child's hair 'wrapped around the buggy' as he dragged her down the aisles.
Burch said the child was pleading for the man to stop.

***If this is treatment in public, have to wonder what life is like for that girl at home. Hope my assumptions are wrong.***
I’m laying odds that your assumptions are spot on.
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict.
I have personally been on both sides of this situation, first as an abused child, and then as a mom who needed to discipline. Yes, kids can be difficult, but there are ways that a parent can avoid being abusive. You have to be smarter than the kid. I think this dad was over the line. Lest we forget, there’s also mental abuse that goes on sometimes. Those scars aren’t physical, but are there nonetheless.
I loved my father. It took me years of counseling to get over being raised like I was. I still struggle with it from time to time, but for the most part, I have been able to forgive him. I’m one of the lucky ones. When he passed, we were on good terms.
Too often we do not have the time to explore alternatives. Luckily I had some time after his dad left for work and the time the boys had to catch the bus or in the case of the 2 year old, picked up for daycare. I felt sorry for my friend because his wife just up an abandoned him and the boys. That was one of the reasons I believed the 2 year old acted out in the mornings. I am sure he felt that one day his dad would go to work and never return. I think the cologne made him feel more secure that his dad would return. While I will never know the real reasons that was the reason I deduced. Also the solution was discovered purely by accident, because of course I had my troubles with him in the mornings as well. The 6 year old was never a problem at all.
Hey I live near there, she should have called Rowdy Hayden Precinct 4 constable.
You need to separate your emotions from this man’s freedom to raise his own kids without interference from the government.
You will call the cops, he will be arrested, kids will go to foster homes, be molested, his marriage will be broken, he’ll never get to see his kids alone again, and the big payoff for big government: he will never get to own a gun again.
This is what happens to families in America today because we have been trained to believe men are bad.
Rather brutish
They make more humane tethers
Which I find silly
I’m going to Hell for laughing at that.
(Had to explain to hubby why I suddenly started laughing like a mad fiend)
You win again!
I never suggested the things you are saying, perhaps someone else?
But I will call a spade a spade. This man is abusing his daughter. Been there, done that. As a child, when I was asked about the abuse, I would still stand by my dad and take his licks, verbal and physical, vs telling the authorities what was going on. I didn’t want him to get in trouble. I also knew what he did to me and my siblings was wrong.
So you can cut the crap you’re spewing. I don’t hate men and don’t think they’re all bad. To the contrary. I have great brothers and a great husband. My dad was a great guy in some facets. But he was an abusive man as well.
Or...someone has simply made a better argument and the “bullied” loser resorts to armchair psychology.
;)
So sorry.
:(
It’s ok. I’ve learned to deal with it. He was abused as a kid, and I knew that in my lifetime, I wanted to break that cycle. I worked really hard at being a good loving strict but not abusive parent.
It took me years to understand. Five years before he passed, we made peace with each other. I love my dad, and I forgave him, because I think he really didn’t know what he was doing. He thought that’s how he was supposed to parent. He realized later, how mistaken he was. Yes, he did apologize.
Awwww...God bless you!
So, attack me? You’re a real peach.
The hyperbole is strong with this one....
;)
It’s TORTURE!!! Bypass the courts and send him straight to the chair!
I guess I torture my daughter every Saturday when I put her hair up for ballet. Dumb move on this dad’s part, but I would be happy to take folks on some field trips if they want to see or hear about real abuse. Bad diagnosis and criminal malpractice on the response, folks.
You may as well sell the child to an Eastern European slave trader as call CPS. That is one sure way to ruin a family and ensure the children are actually abused and 90% more likely to become criminals themselves.
You are an exceptional person.
Too often, the misery is simply handed off to the next generation.
My mom said, of my Pedo uncle, “I had the same thing happen when I was your age and I’m just fine!”
But she wasn’t.
I agree. People always assume they know everything aout situations they know verry little about. Keeps my gun holstered.
