'This is what we do to kids in Mexico': Drunk stranger 'spanks man's toddler son' in a grocery store after hearing the two-year-old cry when he was told he couldn't have a candy bar A drunk man was arrested in a Georgia grocery store on Tuesday after allegedly spanking a stranger's toddler son when he heard him whining that he was not allowed a candy bar.
Juan Guvarra Martinez, 62, was standing behind James 'Logan' Morris in line at a Kroger in Newnan, near Atlanta, on Tuesday.
He overheard Morris's son ask for a candy bar and watched as he began to cry after being told no.
The man is then said to have grabbed the boy by the arm and hit him around the wrist before twisting him round to spank his bottom three times.
According to boy's father, he told him: 'This is what we do to kids in Mexico.'
Morris, a plumber, was calm and took his son back, saying: 'Buddy, we are not in Mexico.'
He paid for his goods and sent his son and the rest his family outside then waited as police arrived to question the man.
Video of them arresting Martinez, who was dressed in construction worker's clothes, was obtained by The Newnan Times Herald.
It shows him standing by the cash register, confused as he is put in handcuffs.
According to the officers, he reeked of alcohol and seemed drunk.
Morris said the man hit his son three times on the backside. The child stopped crying and was in shock, he said.

The man would have been better off telling the parent to shut his brat up-but otherwise I agree entirely with your assessment-no one has the right to inflict their ill behaved kids on others in a public venue. I brought up my cub the same way as my mom did me and my sibling-just as we did, my cub knew the phrase “just wait till I get you to the truck” meant stop it now or get your butt smacked somewhere between here and the parking lot. If I see a parent discipline a kid in the grocery store out here, I always thank them for being a responsible parent.
“Yea, but if somebody else tried to spank you, I’ll bet your mom or dad would have laid them out.”
I grew up in a very rural county, it was common knowledge that ANY responsible adult could tan your hide for being disrespectful or causing trouble. Then you got it again when you got home.
That system worked pretty good. Kept many of us out of trouble.
He was out of line.
Sorry but I have a problem with drunk adults getting their sexual jollies from my child.
Don't touch a child under my care.
Ever.
“The parents needed the spanking.”
Some of these kids, I’d like to ring their necks. They don’t get their own way, they scream, louder and louder, and mom just ignores them. I DON’T! When mom isn’t looking, I make the ugliest face I can and growl at them. The effect can be quite amusing and most of the time it works.
+1
I still give my mom and dad a good night kiss on the mouth and I am way pass the point of being a child.
I also give them hugs.
A 2 year old child should be able to understand what the word “no” means-if they don’t, then they are not ready to be in public, and should not be brought there until they learn how to behave there. They should also know that ignoring “no” means a couple smacks on the butt or a light slap on the hand, but that is just my opinion as a parent...
You might ask redcatcherb412. It was his/her post I was replying to.
You ought to start a charity for all the drunken Mexicans in the U.S. who decide to put their hands on other people's little kids and beat on them.
sexual jollies
“The child stopped crying and was in shock, he said.”
Their next visit to the store, this child will not ask for a candy bar while standing in line. Children are often smarter than their parents.
You hit my kid and I won’t stay so calm
A drunken 60ish man....see how well spanking works
Precisely
Thanks to this crazy new invention known as the "internet", there's not really any such thing as a "foreign press" anymore.
That is hilarious! I’m going to have to try that next time I’m getting groceries and there is a kid in a cart howling because they were told “no”...
My guy lives in the city-if he stops at the grocery store after work and there is a kid acting out, he pulls his jacket aside where the kid can see and casually jingles the handcuffs -the resulting look on the kid’s-and sometimes the parent’s faces-have him chuckling for hours-mean, cruel man...
'This is what we do to kids in Mexico.'
Then why are they running wild all over California?
""After allegedly trying to resist arrest, Martinez is said to have kicked cars and been aggressive as he as taken to the patrol car.""
""The drunken Mexican is being held on charges including battery, child cruelty, disorderly conduct, obstructing officers and violating probation.""
Ya got some weird MAGA thing going on there...lol...
No
Physical assault is not the answer
The fact that you think it is is very concerning
“running wild all over California?”
Because their parents brought them here and some damned interfering teacher told them the parents were guilty of child abuse if they spanked them...
