Busted For Slapping Stranger's Crying Child
::Snip::
Georgia man, 61, threatened to "shut that baby up" at Walmart
SEPTEMBER 2--Meet Roger Stephens. The Georgia man, 61, was shopping Monday morning at a Walmart in Stone Mountain when he crossed paths with Sonya Matthews and her two-year-old daughter Paige. The child was crying, which apparently greatly perturbed Matthews. "If you don't shut that baby up I will shut her up for you," Stephens warned Matthews, according to a Gwinnett County Police Department report. Moments later, Stephens acted on his threat, slapping Paige "across the face approximately four or five times." Though the child "started crying and screaming" after being struck, Stephens told Matthews, "See, I told you I would shut her up."

If that had been my kid (though mine were generally pretty good in stores), this guy would be in the hospital on life support, not in jail.

I have thought about it, too, but only when it was obvious the child was being a spoiled, rotten brat. However, self-restraint prevailed.
I will admit I have whacked my son on his butt when he was at the monster-y age. But, he was usually pretty good.

I guess I am not quite sure what the guy did wrong?  He gave fair warning and all...

I don't know why he didn't run. He had to have known it was wrong. He must've snapped and didn't care about what was going to happen.

I wonder if he said, "clean up on aisle 5!" after he did it. Now that would have been funny.

I would never think of slapping a kid who was crying. The parents maybe, but not the kid.
This guy is a moron. I hope he has to spend some time in the slammer (30 days maybe) and pay a big fine. But they'll probably make him do community service at a day care center or something.

Well, there's always the option of shooting them both in the head.
