Stranger spanks crying toddler while in grocery store check-out line (Florida, children)

[Suburban_Guy]

What a freak, no stranger should be putting their hands on another person's child to 'discipline' them (doesn't seem like the child was doing anything more than asking for candy here anyways).

The boy's father, Logan Morris, said he was going through the checkout aisle with his 2-year-old son when the boy asked for candy.

"I told him, 'No, it's too late bud,'" Morris said.

That's when, according to Morris, the man behind them in the line grabbed his son's hand, spun him around and spanked him three times.

Dude would have been on the floor with my knee on his throat.

He would have been screaming for the police to arrest him, if he still had a tongue. Touch my child and I'll drop you like a bad habit.

I would have had to be peeled off that old man.

would you have let kid cry like that to begin with?

I would be on national headlines if a stranger touched my child. The courts should give the father a 2x4 and 10 minutes to use it.

Now, now, now, remain calm. Violence isn't the answer.
Taking the law in hand isn't the lesson people should be teaching others, especially when children are present. We need to be tolerant of others. Ask for an apology.
This is an issue that can be hugged out if not escalated.

Wow, a stranger gave him something to actually cry about.

My mom would have said thanks, I had my hands full.
