Who in their right mind would slap a 2 year old? Roger Stephens, 61, may be the biggest jerk to ever grace this earth. Roger was at a local Wal Mart and there was a crying 2 year old nearby. He had the nerve to walk up to the mother and tell her that if she didn’t shut her baby up, he would. A few minutes later, down another aisle, he grabbed the 2 year old and slapped her 4-5 times. Then told the mother “See, I told you I would shut her up,”. You can read the story here.

For anyone that has children you know that sometimes it can be difficult to take them out in public. With everything that is going on in their young bodies, sometimes they just have a bad day and nothing will calm them down. What is a Mother to do when she can’t calm her kids down? She can’t put her life on hold, she still has to get things done. For the most part people are very patient with crying children in public, especially if they have children of their own. We have had moments where we could not calm our children down and we have had strangers come over and try to help us out.

I am not sure what I would do if a stranger slapped my child in that situation, but I can guarantee he would receive more than 4-5 slaps. It is already a high pressure situation for the Mother, throw in a jerk like Roger Stephens, and I am sure my wife would have sent him home in a body bag!
