I was in the shop tonight round six, a guy was behind me and i noticed a little girl around five walking slowly down an aisle. Suddenly i was startled to death by the loudest 'No!!!!!' and i looked round to see her mum. I expected to see an angry face after that outburst but she looked quite neutral. The girl put back whatever she'd been holding. The guy behind looked at me with wide eyes. The little girl then sidled up to her mum in the queue and her mum shouted, 'i said no, stop asking for things!' and as the girl stepped away from her mum kicked out making contact with her heel, making her knee give way slightly.
I made eye contact with the lady in a fearful kind of way. All throughout it the girl never made a peep. Should i have said something? I used to be braver when i was younger but now dont seek confrontations. Just feel so badly for the poor child! WWYHD?
