Reddit.com users were recently asked “What’s the worst example of bad parenting you’ve ever witnessed?” One man replied with a recent incident that happened after witnessing a man beat up his 2 year-old child. Read his post below.
I was waiting in line for a ferry in WA state. In case you’ve not done it there is a big parking lot and everyone waits in their cars till you load up on the ferry.
The guy next to me obviously does not know I am looking at him and he turns around and smacks the sh*t out of a crying 2 year old while his 6-7 year old daughter is watching. He hit him 7-8 times in a pure rage style beating. He looks over and notices I am watching and tries to pretend nothing happened.
I get out of my truck and start to head over to the bomb dog cop they have around. As I am heading over there he runs up stops me and asks me what I think I am doing. I kept trying to get around him without a confrontation, he kept pushing me but I was able to sneak by so he tripped me. I got up walked into plain view of the officer and the dude punches me in the back of the head then spit in my face. The officer saw all of this and came up and put the guy in cuffs. All of this is in view of the small children in his car.
So I took a punch and got spat in my face but in the end the children were taken into protective custody and I pressed full charges. There was another witness to the guy hitting the kid and they had security footage of the guy assaulting me so I didn’t even have to go to court!
I am no hero, a bit of a prick actually. But you hurt a kid, I will follow up and make sure you get yours.
The post has since gone viral on social media, with many people commending him for stepping in and stopping the situation.
