Today, as I was leaving Publix, I saw a mother and her two children walking from their car. She was angry at the boy, who seemed to be around 8-9, saying "well, I guess it doesn't matter if we're hot and sweaty, just as long are you're having fun!!" As soon as I passed them, I overheard her continue, calling him a "F(bad word) Face." It made me sick.

I have heard this type language towards children repeatatively from people I have encountered, especially African Americans.
One of the largest arguements my ex and I ever had was when she called her two year old a "Piece of sh*T" She felt justified cause "everyone at work talks about their kids like that"
But, thank God and Manic Depression, she's gone.

I pray the blood of Jesus on this situation.

Last year, a sophmore boy here at school "accidentally" called another student on her cell phone. We still think he may have done it on purpose so that someone could hear. Her voice mail picked up and recorded an argument between this boy and his mother.
During this argument, she called him fat, a fu***** queer, a stupid bast***, and a few others that I won't even put down with asterisks. She also screamed that she was so angry she could kill him.
This HIGH SCHOOL boy could be heard crying in the background begging his mom to stop.
The girl shared the voice mail with her mother and her mother called the police and they came out and heard the message. Ready???? The police shrugged it off and said that it was quite common for moms and teens to fight like that. They then left after telling her that if she finds out anything physical was going on to please feel free to call them back.
Talk about disgusting. That is disgusting. Yet, those same police want to tell me that poppin' my child on the behind is abuse.

I believe in taking a bite out of the parent that talks to their kids that way. Seriously. Bite them --- hard. In sensitive soft tissue impossible to replace places.

I have gone round and round in my head about what I should have done but I think I was just in shock about it.

As sick and disgusting as it was, I am not sure what you could have really done. Like Shellie pointed out, there seems to be a big distinction in physical vs emotional abuse.....

I'm with Paully on that. The bite needs to come from the kid or the spouse, not a bystander.

I pray that THAT specific woman that walked past Dewayne be so overwhelmed with the love of Christ in her life that she repents of her abusive actions, lives a full Christian life and raises her children to be awesome effective leaders in God's future army that will save millions....
As long as I'm praying.. I'm going to bless those children greatly.

Yes, but it's not polite to say it...

I add my agreement to that prayer, please save her and her family, LORD.
