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.

“Spanking hurts a little girl more than what was in the photos”
==
A spanking is supposed to hurt. Taking a little girl out shopping isn’t.

Are you feeling guilty?

Not at all. My kids (most of whom are grown up) love me and think I am fun to be around.

Look, what this guy did is flat out wrong.

I disagree. It looks foolish and wrong headed, but does not rise to the level of "abuse" in my opinion. The man should be talked to, but without evidence of bruises on the child, not further action should be taken.

Defending abuse, facilitating it, dismissing it, is wrong.

Falsely accusing people of abuse is also wrong. I would like to see false accusers go to jail. Perhaps then they would exercise more caution before making accusations against others.

Is that all he does to her, what else occurs?

If she was frightened of him she wouldn't likely have been acting out in public, now would she?

That implies that he lets her run amok at home, and therefore he has to take extra steps to make her behave in public.

I've seen a lot of children who are simply ignored by their parents until they embarrass them in public. Then the parents crack down on a problem they should have been dealing with at home.

That’s why American children grow up to be brainless liberals. You people won’t let loving parents teach them anything.

Mind your own business in the store.

I thought the same thing. He has her hair trapped between his hand and the handle. From what I’ve read elsewhere, she was causing him quite a bit of grief in the store. She is able to walk beside him and it would only be painful if she tried to run away from him again. I’ll admit that I would not have chosen this method of keeping her in check but I don’t think he needs to be arrested nor does she need to be in child protective services. I’m guessing if he had continued to let her run the store, causing other customers grief, he would have gotten an earful for that, too. This is not abuse. This is unorthodox discipline.

That is exactly how I see it. I think this is but another example of someone overreacting and making a big stink out of something that is in fact a big nothing.

These women who like to accuse others of child abuse are pampered busy bodies who have probably never been much disciplined themselves in their lives.

Parents are expected to leave stores if their kids act up because you’re not allowed to discipline in public anymore. I try really hard to avoid shopping with any of my kids. If I have to take them with me it means I’m desperate to get to the store and I have no other options for help. I can’t just leave and come again another time. Who has time for that?

I would have asked a nearby cop to speak to the man and advise him that is not a good technique for disciplining a child precisely because all the histrionic fainting flowers will have a screech fest over it, and I would look for any evidence of real abuse that I could see. Finding none, I would leave it at that.

Taking this public? The man should sue the presumptuous busy body.

Sorry. The guy is right. I see no “abuse” as so many snowflakes do, nowadays.

I agree, the guy should win "Father Of The Year".

He introduces his daughter:
"This my precious little girl....huh? She was there just a minute ago!!! Dangnabbit, the little beotch got away from me again!!!"

Lots of Dr. Spock followers think ANY touching of a child is abuse, so we have these out of control adults killing people and thinking temper tantrums are to be accepted. We have the snowflake millennials that have zero discipline. “Waddya going to do, same my name again??”

BS!

This pic doesn’t say just what the behavior of the girl was prior to the pic being taken.

“But, I’m getting my revenge. I’m picking out his CHEAP Nursing Home with Nurse Ratchet at the helm. And he KNOWS this, LOL!”

Well, heck, he did a GREAT job since 99% of the people today don’t even take that much care in their elderly parents. They would even care to help pick out much less get them into a nursing facility.

Says you. Cowardly parents that never discipline their child beyond annoying them and everyone around them saying their name over and over, “Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, “

He has her wrapped around the cart handle, dragging her along like a dog by the scruff.

Those who find this acceptable should volunteer to feel what that is like.

My fifth grade teacher was a vicious hair puller.

It was her that gave me a lifelong attitude about it.

My long hair sometimes gets caught in my seat belt retractor gizmo and honestly, I’d prefer a punch in the face to that specifically excruciating pain.

I agree that he was not really dragging her but I am sure that her hair was being pulled and it did offer pain. Yes the seat in the cart would have been my solution.

He will now undoubtedly face criminal charges, as well as, child protective services being brought in.

Incredibly stupid move on his part.

I don't want the guy arrested nor charged...I want him to change his behavior towards this little girl...if he can't handle her then she needs to be left home with mommy, or a friends house....

if he doesn't change, then the law will eventually make his life miserable like you know it can...

You’re right her hair wasn’t “tied”to the handle he was holding it as he gripped the handle. It’s a distinction without a difference though;

No, it is quite a bit more worse sounding when he is accused of "tying" her hair to the handle. It requires considerably more effort and considerably more "meanness", and I'm sure that is why the busy body made that accusation. She wanted what he was doing to appear worse than it was.

If you want to play word games with that find someone else interested in such lunacy.

That some people think this rises to the level of abuse is already lunacy. "Lunacy" is baked into this cake.

Forget CPS, to heck with them. Anyone with a functioning brain and a conscience can see from the photos that what he did isn’t right, that it was abuse.

It is unconventional, but hardly "abuse." The girl will suffer no serious injury, and have no serious trauma over this. She will laugh about it years later.

All he needs and deserves is a trial by his peers who, if they have the aforementioned brain and conscience, after seeing these photos, would do the right thing and issue a verdict of “guilty of child abuse”.

I would prefer to see charges filed against anyone accusing this man of "abuse" for such a silly thing. It does a disservice to the concept of "abuse" to equate it to such a frivolous thing. This is little different than filing a frivolous lawsuit and their ought to be punishment for people who assert these frivolous accusations.

I suspect the father’s appearance has some influence on people’s opinions. I must confess, I made several assumptions based on that.

To put it more succinctly: “Man does stupid thing, wins stupid prize.” Sowing and reaping.

Bringing down the Nazi state on me for such a frivolous thing is guaranteed to win you a stupid prize. I would F*** a man or woman up for doing that to me.

You accuse me of child abuse for that? I don't care who you are or how big you are, You will be looking up at me as you are laying on the ground.

That's blood libel as far as i'm concerned.
