Stranger slaps toddler in Georgia Walmart
Let me set the scene… you are in Walmart and your 2-year-old is tired and crying but you are trying to squeeze in a last minute shop. A guy in your aisle tells you that “if you don’t shut the baby up, I will shut her up for you.” You ignore him because although he may be an ass you don’t expect him to actually do anything. Then, when your little girl continues to cry into the next aisle, this strange man grabs your baby and slaps her across the face four or five times. That’s what 61-year-old Roger Stephens did in a Georgia Walmart.
The article on CNN doesn’t tell us how the mother reacted but I am curious as hell. Ever since a friend in college played the “what if” game with me, weekly for four years, I always ask myself how I think I would handle random situations other people are faced with — like this one. So, what if that was my kid? Would I be too stunned and freeze with fear. No way. I can say with 100% confidence that I wouldn’t freeze. And now that this has happened to someone else I will be prepared with a reaction should some unlucky fellow try to do this to my kid. I think I would immediately try to gouge out his eyes. I am small so I have to go for a weak area and I am guessing his testicles weren’t easy to reach since he was facing the little girl. I certainly would have cursed him out and aggressively gone after him, even if it meant pulling his brown hair out of his head. Maybe I would be lucky enough to be in an aisle with baseball bats. In fact, I think I might end up being the one arrested if it was my kid he decided to take out his superstore-rage on. Don’t they sell guns at Walmarts in Georgia? Now don’t get me wrong — I don’t think this crime warrants Roger’s inclusion in this website’s weekly column People Who Should be Killed This Week; however, he should get a good beat down.

Wow! I have a 13 yr. old that is autistic an frequently melts down in a store. I get a lot of dirty looks from people. I do my best to keep her calm. If someone threatened to harm my child or spanked her there would be a law suit. I would hope that I would not lose it on the person because I would want to throw every thing I could legally at the jerk that traumatized a disabled child or any child for that matter!
The only thing that “Chief Running Jackass” had to do was leave the area,until ethier the toddler had stopped crying,or the mother and child had left the store.
If this uneducated,ignorant moron had any brain cells,he should realize that he could face a civil suit,as a result of his actions. At 61 years of age,not only should he know better,but a judgement for monetary damages against him,could hurt his chances for a halfway decent retirement. Meanwhile,the toddler’s future college education is all or partially paid for.
In the future his shopping outings to “Wally World” could be to pick out what flavors of “Alpo Helper” to purchase,and I don’t mean for his dog ethier.
