Is this a case of mind your own business, or is it now your business when a man hits a toddler in the face at a grocery store?

After watching the video, is it a case of you minding your business or is it now your business to protect the child?

Corporal punishment has a time and place and is effective in certain situations. A slap on the hand or a stinging pop on the ass is alright in my book. My parents used it on me and I used it on my children...always as a last resort and not abusive.
Pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to keep my composure. Probably would have ended up with me punching that fool in the face and asking him how he liked it and, if he would like to try that on someone his own size. The man dance would have been on like donkey kong!!!

A lot of people conveniently "forget" that it wasn't uncommon or abusive to receive a swat on the ass in our generation to correct behaviors. none of us are worse off for it. There are some parents out there that could use one when you see a video like this.

I would have stepped in. At least to have made a comment about hitting a kid in the head. Rear end, the hand, I have no real issue with as long as it isn't a beating and just a swat. My guess is this is not the first time he did this either. This guy appears to be a time bomb and that kid is going to get hurt.

I'm with the good Sergeant Major on this. There's nothing wrong with a proper spanking. I probably would have stepped in with a slap to the face also. That's across a line.

"No telling what that kid already did earlier in the day."
There is absolutely NO reason to EVER physically abuse a child.
As a parent I agree that children should be disciplined but there is a big difference between abuse and discipline. A smack on the hand or swat/paddling of the butt is fine. Punching a child? WRONG ANSWER.
My father in law is a corrections officer in California. I should ask him to ask any friends he may have in Bakersfield corrections to make sure this guy gets "preferential treatment."

There is no possible way I would have kept my mouth shut. Honestly I probably would've begged him to do that to me! I'm guessing that is the mom? She just took him out of the store without saying a word? And who is behind the surveillance camera that they could just sit record and watch? Glad they did for the evidence but something clearly happened before hand because they were all ready following the kiddo. People like that,.......... ..ggggrrrrrr
