to be p****d off with man in shop this morning

[bubblagirl]

went to local shop this morning with my ds 2.6 he does hios usual throw himself on the floor it snot so much strops more of a game in there now

anyway he started whining as has delyed speech this is what he does when he doesnt want to be moved so i'm about to stand him up a mention of what we will do when we get home always gets him moving about to deal with my ds

man not elderly say middle aged walks in before i know it screaming in my ds face to stop shouting oy oy oy at himthen proceeds to slap his arm

i was fecking fuming told him he has no right to touch my ds or to shout at my ds i was dealing with my ds what did it have to do with him

he then says is he ok ds at this point is 10 times worse at being screamed at by stranger i said well you havent exactly helped the situation who the hell do you think you are

absolutely fuming his 2.6 doesnt deserve for a stranger to be telling him off he wasnt being naughty as such and even if he was i was dealing with it just needed to let off steam as cried all the way home my ds was terrified

He was totally out of order I would have told him what for how dare he on your behalf !!

fuming it was such a shock very small shop he appeared through the door out of no where just shouting oy oy oy stop that pointing at my son at his level too i was so shocked then turned to lookat shop keeper and as turned back caught him tapping my ds arm

at this point grabbed ds by his coat and hoiked him up probably wasnt to great but needed to get away from the man before i assaulted him i mean what did it have to do with him walk round us let me deal with my own child

still so upset my ds poor face he looked terrified

how feckin dare he!!!! That is awful... he surely to god can't be 'allowed' to that!!!

Your poor DS

Bloody hell.

What is it with people these days???

They glare at you when your kids are being kids, they pass comment on their behaviour but none of them are willing to help.

Watch out if you see him again.

Your poor child.

there was a lady who was on her way out obviously heard what was going on and stopped at the door i grabbed ds after having very harsh words with man she opened door for me and asked if he was ok i was so upset i just kept saying how dare he he is only 2 had no right i 'm his mum iwas dealing with it

not as if he was some hoody vandal wrecking shop just 2 yr old boy making a statement man in shop is used to my ds doing this we find it amusing as he isnt a stroppy child just something that is a habit with him now

even so you dont touch or scream at someone elses child i dont even do this to my own ds he is still a baby 2.6 he doesnt know different its just a game to him

your right people have to much to say about other children

being a parent yourself you understand when dc throw tantrums i never judge the mother and never go and tell the dc off

only ever made a comment once when heard screaming for ages and some mum had gone off shopping tying her daughtr to some post in sainsburys by her wrist strap girl was pulling and crying and mum was off doing weekly shop only time i commented as thought this was cruel although never confronted mum

but for a stranger to slap your dc and scream at them why what do they get out of this his my bloody son who is a good boy never have problems at home only occassional tantrum its only in this shop he does it but probably because we find it amusing all i have to say is come on then mte lets go do painting or play games his up and off

but this bloke comes charging in like a bull to rag and acts like this really frightened my ds his poor face didnt have a clue what was happening to him even though i got him out quick it went on long enough to leave an affect on him was clingy and wouldnt let me put him down arrggh i could scream thats better rant over thanks for listening

thats terrible! poor ds and poor you.

still fuming had to phone dp and tell him what happened he was fuming and saying all sorts about point him out i'll have words well not said as polite you can probably guess what he said

ds is ok has probably forgotten incident now was clingy for a while even at home but fine now

i just cant believe a complete strnger felt the need to do that

That's assault. Pure and simple. You should report him to the police. Doesn't matter if you don't know who he is. Chances are he uses that shop regularly so they can either catch him when he goes in or ask the shopkeeper.

Did anyone else witness him assaulting your son?

Surely a small shop will have cctv. Report him to the Police.

Am and on your behalf. Hope you have both get over it quickly. Am also astounded at a woman chaining her daughter up like a dog. I'm surprised something wasn't done about that.

lady at the door dont know her sither i will speak to shop and se if they have cctv footage and hav a word with police they have the community ones around alot thanks all just felt so angry needed to vent it somewhere feel much better now

either lol

bubbleagirl,

How awful, the other posters are right, this is assault and should be treated as such and reported to the police, not just the community police.

If this is your first child then I'm afraid your in for a nasty shock. The whole of the UK is full of nasty child haters and I guarantee you this wo'nt be your last confrontation with a child hater. You'll just have to become what I have become - a child hater hater!!!!!!!

I'm new to mumsnet btw but you all seem like a great bunch.

oh please give us a break. He probably thought he was helping. In his day people probably did interfere with other people's children and tell them off. That's why everyone's so scared of teenagers now, cos no-one will say anything to anyone else's kids. Trust me when your kids are teenagers you will start getting pissed off with screamming toddlers too....

busybodies! think they can suddenly impart wisdom and candor to resolve a situation when you really wish they would just shuve off

poor you

evn if screaming toddlers did annoy me i would not slap them or scream at them at think your quite harsh to think that it is acceptable for a stranger to touch my child and to scream at him

and as for disliking screaming toddlers i would hope i would be more compassionate than that and remember what it was like for myself

how would you feel if your dc was shouted at and slpaped on arm by complete stranger my ds wasnt even screaming i said whining as he has delayted speech thats not his or my fault either

i would of expected a bit more understanding from a fellow mn

namestaken i'm fairly new myself pleased to meet you i have 1 ds who is my world 2.6 delayed speech and will not tolerate bullying from people even if my ds was making scene

and at 2.6 i dont think he needs to be told off by a complete stranger for getting frustrated with having delayed speech he is not a tantrumy child he is good he is well disciplined and i can parent my own dc consideration and patience is needed with a speech delayed dc

if you had seen how scared my ds was at being shouted and slapped by stranger than maybe you wouldnt think that way he has delayed speech he is not some hooligan who needs harsh treatment

and i would be more compassionate to other parents as i'm a very caring person

oh god i really do sympathise - terrible for an adult who should know better to be so horrid

Got nothing to do with your thread, but love your ds's eyes!! He is beeaauutiful
