Logic? This isn't a debate on creationism vs evolution, it is responding to a stranger striking your 2 yr old kid . Defending your toddler from physical attack is natural, and does not indicate a lack of self control , anymore than hitting a guy trying to sexually assault a young girl would be.
I hope you are female. That at least would explain part of it.
I'm not at all sure about that last bit. I'm not at all sure that I wouldn't slap the crap out of anyone I saw hitting a child, and I don't even have kids.
I don’t believe for one second that a crying toddler would fall under any store manager’s (in any era) definition of “acting up” and warrant removal from the store. A kid running amok, knocking over displays, etc, by all means do ask them to leave. But crying? Really? That’s not misbehaving; it’s the only means a small child has to express frustration. Most people understand that there is only so much a parent can do to control crying, and just want to get the heck out of there as soon as possible.
This. I don't really see much to gain by kicking a parent with a crying child out of a store, particularly at the checkout line. Hell, they're leaving anyway.
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).
My husband has been in an environment with unruly kids and he knew the parents. Not once did it cross my husbands mind to lay a hand on their kids. Instead he entertained the a couple of the kids.

Evidently you are ruled by emotions. This is not a homicidal maniac trying to execute children in a grocery store. It was an old drunk Mexican. Even a female could easily protect her child from a short old drunk. The cops were called and this guy was arrested. If his father assaulted the guy he would run the risk of being arrested along with the old man and THAT would be more traumatizing to the toddler to watch his daddy be hauled off in the back of a cop car. That might just be another Friday night for some posters hence the fantasies of retribution.

In this case nobody protected the child. The Mexican successfully grabbed him and beat him, and no one intervened until after the fact.

Really so it went from spanking to a beating now?
The man was wrong is touching another's child - but I must be one of those trashy whites as did my kids receive an occasional spanking if they misbehaved - you bet ya and it didn't ruin their psych!
That child was misbehaving - I don't care how old they are - there was the father and grandmother - one of them pick up the child and take him outside the store - plain and simple. He's then told if he can't behave - he's no longer going to come shopping with them.
Believe me - it only takes a couple of times and the kid gets it. I really am sick of seeing children misbehave in public and the parents do nothing. A child in front of me at the grocery store was creating a scene while her mom was checking out. Grabbing candy and throwing it around. The mom is asking her to stop - to no avail - then the kid smacks her! I had enough and spoke up and told her that you never hit your mother - shocked the heck out of her - but she calmed down as she was embarrassed someone other than her mom would yell at her.
