She had 2 children, aged probably about 2 (girl) and 4 (boy). The 2 year old was in a buggy and screaming blue murder. The wee boy was being dragged by the mother all the way thru the shop screaming his head off. The mother slapped him from one end of the shop to the other. The boy screamed even more and she continued to slap him and shout at him to "shut up, you're embarrassing me, stop screaming like a girl". The poor wee guys face was bright red, the more she hit, the more he cried
I was in a really irritable mood anyway but I felt a HUGE MASSIVE surge of anger at this woman. I honestly felt like going right over slapping her and saying "how the fuck do you like it?". I felt it was not my business though and shot her a very dirty look instead. Not that it bothered her one bit as she kept on.
Honestly. What would anyone else have done in that situation. I am home now and am still thinking about that little boy being dragged and slapped. Should I have done something?
