Georgia Dollar Store Clerk Whipped Boy 25 Times with Her Belt

i agree the clerk was was wrong I have 5 grown kids 10 grandkids when you take them in astore or anywhere it's your duty as a parent to keep up with your children i've seen kids eating stuff in stores and the parent didn't do anything and then the chid had the nerve to put the grapes back for someone else already had a buggy full of grocery it's sad that ou won;t make a child mine at home and when you go out what do youexpect people we need t get back to raising our children and stop feeding into the media I am not a facebook fan don't know much about computers but what I DO KNOW IS WE NEED TO RAISE OUR KIDS it's time out for timeout pu something on their butts or they will put it on yours didn't say abuse them but put the fear of GOD AND A SPANKING in them

I also have 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 20 years down to 2 years....we were spanked occasionally when I wan growing up, I spanked my kids a little, changed my feelings about that with my grandkids...have never been sorry and they are very well behaved kids...3 boys, 2 girls....it is crazy to hit them to tell them it is wrong to hit, etc.....

There is no question in their minds that I am serious and mean business and I don't even have to raise my voice usually.....If you discipline them properly from the beginning, they don't need spanking....Have I slapped my hand on a table to get someone's attention, you bet...and that was all I had to do to let them know I meant business....timeouts work just fine and I don't take backtalk or non compliance from any of them.....but I also dole out love and attention to them.....

I think if you have to resort to spanking all the time, you need some coaching about effective parenting.

This parent obviously was not even concerned about the safety of their child from possible abductors if he/she did not see the clerk beating the kid with a belt...I see that all too often.....a kid being way out of sight of a parent....the Adam Walsh case should be forever ingrained in our brains....mom was just a few feet away and he was snatched and that was many, many years ago.....

Take responsibility folks, get off your cell phones, shut off your TV's and get off your butts and RAISE YOUR CHILDREN.......

I really despise going into stores anymore kids are runniing everywhere and parents ignoring them it makes me angry my kids were not allowed to act out in a store or restaurant. They would get a spanking if they even tried. Yes the clerk was wrong, but the parent ignoring the actions of the child was worse

My Granddaughter, 2 yrs. old, spit on me while in a shopping cart and I grabbed her cheeks and told her that if she ever did that again I would punish her when we got home. I was overheard and told to check out of the grocery store and to come back when I was less overwrought. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone, family or store personnel, hit a child in a store. 25 times and she was on the store surveillance tape? She indeed, should have been arrested.

this is the problem with our youth in America today. not even parents want to take responsibility for their own childs actions. enough is enough. when will we take back this country and accept responsibility? good for the clerk who was fed up with parents and their disrespectful children!

Oh dear, don't defend the indefensible. 25 licks with a belt is gross abuse and child endangerment. Many children HAVE become unmanageable, but that clerk is very lucky she wasn't slammed, and rightly so.

Thank God she did not have a AK-47 behind the counter! It is obvious she became "Unhinged." I have heard that mental health care is free in jail. I hope she receives both.

Sounds like if the child was as bad as she said she should have spanked the parents with the belt!! If he was running around and throwing things and then she spanked him behind the counter and he was yelling, Where were the parents? NO ONE CAN STAND TO SEE AND HEAR AN UNRULY CHILD IN PUBLIC ESPECIALLY IF THE PARENTS ARE JUST ALLLOWING IT.

i dont care if the child was acting up or not while i fully agree with parents need to take full responsibility for their own children and their actions their is noway i can condone another person anywhere hitting on any one child with a belt so better them then me

Where was the parent when this unruly, undisciplined child ran amok? While I dont condone a non parent spanking a child, I wonder if the clerk would have been allowed to tell the mother if she couldnt keep her child at her side not running around,,she would have to take the child out of the store, as he was disruptive to other patrons, and could have potentially broken something? Kids today are out of control, and NO ONE is allowed to discipline anothers child. Schools are scary, people dont want to become teachers because if the precious angels are unruly, disrepectful, and disruptive, they cant do anything about it! No wonder our prisons become more full by the day! No one has boundaries.

Jail time the same as his father would get for using an object to hit a child.
