Howdy,

Let's say you are at WalMart and you are in the school supply aisle right before the beginning of the new school year.

A few feet away from you is a couple that are say in their early 30's. It's very apparent that they are meth heads and are high on meth. They have four kids with them from age 4ish to age 12ish. 7yo boy asks his mom if he can have a certain notebook. The woman slaps the boy up side is face/side of his head and starts screaming at him and calling him a M.F. and such.

The slaps about knocked the boy off his feet and his was clearly dazed by the blow.

After screaming at the boy, the woman draws her hand back and starts to hit him again.

Now, the question is "What would you do?"

The woman has commited a Class C Felony by striking the boy in such a manner. Here in Arkansas, where this took place, the sentence is 3-6years. Since the victum is under 12yo, the sentence doubles.

Now remember, the boy wasn't acting up or anything, just asking for a notebook two days before school started.

So, what would you do.

I was the person in the aisle and I watched this happen. Without posting what I did, if anything, what would you have done if you were in my shoes.
