stranger smacks crying child at walmart and other tales

I just have a question--will the 61 yr old man who smacked a crying toddler at a Georgia (?) Walmart be prosecuted to the full extent of the law just as her mom would have been if she had smacked the child?

Just a question.....I mean, I have smacked my kids hands, jerked the buggy, hauled them bodily like a sack of flour out of the store and busted their butts once we got to the car......I guess I am lucky no one called CPS on me for that.....but while I would deal with my kids, I would not come close to allowing a stranger to verbally correct, much less touch my child to correct them......number one, my kids would not let a stranger near them at that age. Number two, like I said, I will deal with my kids. I have worked too many years in the retail field and seen all kinds of behavior that I would probably bury my kids for....mine will not act that way...

We are into the second week of school and things have mostly settled down....Ben is staying in his photography class that he was stuck in after the powers that be decided that the piano class he was originally enrolled in was too full...he is even talking about taking photography 2 next year.....

This was going to be longer, but hubby is home and the teens have just wiped all rational thought out of my head, so......
