after reading your post again i honestly think this was a race issue for you....mentioning the fact that the women were african american to make it clearer for everybody, well ok....but explain this one to me...
huh?
and explain this one too:
i understand that you probably wanted to use as many details as possible in your story, but anybody who would read this would surmise that you saw 2 black women in a "ghetto" area committing child abuse. its my opinion that the details you used in your story creates a bias in the mind of the reader.
my point is i think you would be surprised at the different answers you would get if you left all the adjectives out and simply stated, "i saw 2 women and a crying child at the top of his lungs in a supermarket not being attended to. should i have done something?"
In NY, nationalities and races are part of every day talk. My description was solely to clarify issues. It was not a race issue. If it was, I would not have cared at all about that little baby. My concern was based solely on the behavior of these two ladies, and how detached they appeared to be about the suffering of this poor child.

The only thing that was clarified was that you seem to think their race had something to do with why the child was crying. Their race has nothing to do with it.
He appeared to be of Mexican descent, and I know that they threat their children very lovingly, no matter how poor they are
its really hard to believe that race isnt playing a part in your creation of this thread. mexican parents treat their kids lovingly no matter how poor they are? lol. still looking for an explanation from you on that.
i dont have any kids, but i remember hearing from somewhere that sometimes its best to let babies cry for a little while so that they get less dependent on you. because they learn that they can get something everytime by crying. so if we were next door neighbors and i practiced this, you would call the authorities?

I picked up on the racism too from the get go. Anyway, what you heard is correct. Picking your kid up all the time, always running to them and placating them for every little thing spoils children. I have seen kids go into a ridiculous crying fit because their parents wouldn't pick them up or given in to what they wanted. I have a son and there were times he would start crying because he didn't get his way. So I would just make him go in his room and he could cry himself to sleep.
This just shows where this country is going. Can you even had believe that something like this would had been a problem in the 50's.?
Growing up in the 70's even.... When I did something wrong on my block my parents knew about it before I got home. Now a days with child abuse being enforce by those same people who want to rat someone out for a baby crying... man I tell you.
If I was that kid in a supermarket crying my little head off at eleven months my mother would have let me cry. no one would had question her at that time. if i was 2 years old acting up I will get my ass wooooooped by her belt and no one will say nothing. I am a better person now for it.
Child abuse was enforced because people were hitting their kids with base ball bats and broom sticks and so on. not because a child was getting his rear whipped with a belt. but even that now is an issue.
because of that many believe that the adolescents of today are just getting out of hand. You mention black kids, Hispanic and Asian on this thread. Well think back if you can. Black kids where not as wild with running the streets and carying on as they where before. but keep a mother and a father from raising their kids the way they were taught and you are creating for that child to do what he or she wants and knowing that their parent won't do nothing about it because they will tell their teacher they are being hurt at home.
Hispanic children get their ass whipped at home regardless of the law. because they know even if the city gets involved i am going to get my as handed to me by my sibling.
Asian are close to the Hispanics we have to much respect and don't care what the law says about the way to raise a child
follow the great book
spare the rod spoil the child..
