I been kind of bothered by this for the last week or so. The other day I was helping a lady in my store. She was looking for diapers for her 40lbs son, well the boy started to act up and the father kind of yelled at him in another langue. So I was unsure of what it was. Well the next thing I know the father takes his son about 4 aisle down.
At the time i just thought the father was going to settle him down, normally parents take their kids into bathrooms or outside or somewhere to get them to focus. This wasn't the case.
The father hit his child, not just once, it was 7-10 times, I could hear him hitting him so hard from four aisles away. I finished helping the guest, as she tried to calm her boy down, went and told my manager what I had heard.
They were all set to file a report. We had his licenses number phone number and address, (he wrote a check)
However cause I didn't officially see him hit the child there was nothing that could be done. They insulted me in away by saying what if he hit the belt on a self to scare him, or clapped?
I can tell the different between a person clapping 8 times and the sound of someone slapping a child. I just feel so upset by it like there is more I should be doing. I just don't understand... hitting a kid who weighed 40lbs...... that hard. I don't get upset for a spanking, if i had just heard one swat on the ass, I would of blew it off but 10 times.....
sad part is if the kid is being beat like that in the store what it like for him when he gets home.
I just have an ill feeling.
Today, I got yelled at cause I wouldn't let a lady buy a 20 inch bike for her 6 year old. The girl's feet couldn't even touch, she was so scared and afraid. She was falling off the bike. NO WAY In hell. Even the girl's father told his wife no.... but she had her heart set on it. I was like
