Meh, too many spoiled brats out there these days.

Mr. Stephens is clearly of the same mentality as General George S. Patton, but it is the damn democrats and other wimps that are creating such a weak society for America.

No, I don't applaud the police for arresting Mr. Stephens. Many kids (NOTE I DID NOT SAY ALL OF THEM) are totally wild and undisciplined today, and need a spanking every now and again.

Spankings by the parent are not the same thing as a stranger slapping the child in the face.
Two years old cry and throw fits, its part of their job description.

I have a daughter who looks very normal, but has severe brain damage.

One day when she was about 4 (and totally non-verbal), she had a meltdown at a store. She was big by then, and I couldn’t pick her up. I managed to get her outside, but couldn’t get her in my car.

Instead of offering to help me, people just called her a spoiled brat.

I got so irritated that I yelled at one guy “She has cerebral palsy, and I could use some help!!!!!!”

Now, she has a seizure disorder that can cause strange emotional type seizure. Before she got diagnosed, she would put her hands over her ears and scream “Shut UP, Shut Up, Shut Up”. When I told her regular doctors about it and the school about it, they all thought I was over-reacting. When she had a grand mal seizure, and then a very, very abnormal EEG, everyone started listening to me.

She is almost 13 now. The medication she is on helps with the strange emotional outbursts, and she can talk. She is in regular education. She’s a bit different, but she is very well-behaved.

Just remember that because a person looks normal does not mean they are normal. My daughter is extremely pretty, and that just throws people off.

Possibly true, but the responsibility falls to the parent, not a random person in a store. If you think the guy was in the right, you are unhinged.

Slap my kid and you’d better have the whole G.I. Joe team to back you up.
