Answer 1

In public, no I wouldn't hit them.  My kids however, will know that if they misbehave in public they're gonna get it when we get home, so I wouldn't have a problem with them being hellions in the first place.

Answer 2

Hitting just makes things worse.  The mother here could use some parenting skills.  It's not appropriate to take a screaming unruly kid into a place like a public restaurant.

Answer 3

nope... i'm not all dramatic about it being horribly abusive.... i def got a spanking or two in my day and i know there are certianly worse things... but hitting a child can be pretty S****y in the grand scheme of things. it sends all kind of bad messages about how to deal with stress and anger- young children are such sponges.... esp 5 year olds and the last thing you want is a child who doesn't know how to deal with his problems with out getting physical. (ignoring bad behavior and letting the kid rule over the parent is also detramental to him developing into a stable productive individual... and pretty rude when he's screaming in a public place)

the best thing to do is respect your children and teach them well from the very start and you wouldn't have to deal with screaming in restaurants/ public at all. i wasn't a golden child but my mom never had an issue taking us out in public because she taught my sister and me how to behave. but... specific to this situation, if i were the parents of this child i would tell him to quiet down or we would leave and the first peep he made i'd pick him up and go home. yeah S****y that i don't get to eat out but a- i should have taught him better, b- he will learn from this sacrafice that such behavior is unacceptable.

Answer 4

In my country that is illegal and sends you to jail.

There are other parental techniques to use.

Answer 5

i wouldnt hit my kid i would have taught him better than that. id say give him something entertaining and give the kid a pat on the back when he behaves.... they love that shet man.

Answer 6

Nope. I would take his happy little *** outside and do it in the backseat of the car, so no little busy-body do-gooders report my *** to DCFS.

And to everyone who says they would NEVER hit their children, I have one thing to say: wait till they're 35, still living at home, mooching off your ***, because you never gave them a spanking.  I've seen it time and time again.

Have y'all noticed that with the decline of corporal punishment in parenting, the age at which kids become independent of their parents increases?  It's exponential.

Answer 7

No, not in public if I was around white people because that's a good way to end up in jail or on the news for no good reason at all.

Answer 8

Here's the thing.  If you raise your child right ... i.e. you teach them appropriate behavior ... then you won't need to spank your child in public.  I see parents do that all the time and I don't sigh at the kid, I get disgusted with the parent.  Because IMO it's a problem with the parent and his/her lack of discipline in the home setting.  Children act the way they're taught to act.  This 5 year old was taught (and by taught I mean through action and non-action) that his behavior was acceptable.  You reap what you sow.  

So would I hit my child in public?  I wouldn't have to.

Answer 9

I just stare into the kid's eyes until my hypnotic gaze subdues them.

(Lol)
