I think most of us have been in public and had to endure screaming and crying children.
Nothing ruins an outing like strange children running around and screaming loud enough for people on the moon to hear them, right?
So, imagine you're at Walmart and some brat decides it is time to try to break the sound barrier. Do you say anything to the child's parent? Make a comment loud enough for them to hear it?
Or would you do what Georgia-resident Roger Stephens did in the same situation ... smack the child.
That's right. The 61-year-old man asked the mother of the 2-year-old crying child to get the toddle to knock off the racket. According to the police report, the man approached her and said, "If you don't shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you."
So, he did. He smacked the child at least FOUR times!
He has been charged with felony cruelty to children.
Ironically, the baby started screaming when he struck her.
Who in their right mind would think it is okay to strike someone else's child??
