The poll is currently 83% for swatting the kid, and 16% for the liberals. Swatting the parents doesn’t seem to be an option.

Not able to ascertain guilt without a picture of the nurse.

Lesson to learn smack the parent instead.

You have to leave other people’s children alone, except in your dreams.

The kid needed to be scolded/swatted on the bottom, preferably by her mother. Unruly kids in public are irritating enough, but when you don't feel well and are suffering the wait at the hospital, you really don't need to endure a rambunctious, undisciplined 3-year-old. If it was to the point that the nurse felt compelled to act, I gotta come down on the nurse's side.

A Wagga story! Thanks for posting. Wagga has not been on FR, I think, since the story of the guy who was being prosecuted for having a house painted purple. The purple house story. Beloved of libetarians everywhere.

I faced a similar situation last week but it didn’t require me touching or hitting anyone’s kids. I simply used my evil Mommy voice to say, “We do not run and yell inside this building.” The unsupervised hellions didn’t seem to want to test me. (shrugs)

The mother should be charged with child neglect and the Nurse should be called as an expert witness for the prosecution.

Kids really don’t belong in hospitals unless they’re patients.

Hospitals should crack down on that kind of behavior, no second chances. Strike one and you’re out.
