It’s more about how we speak to children. Speaking cruelly to children suggests something very unwell about one’s character.

To wit, your response seems to be hurling further ad hominem at the child and also the man who comforted this woman about the incident.

Strange.

Good Day, sir.

It’s not a word I use but the man and the 5 year old kid are not the victims. The 1 year old was. Stay focused.

Assigning active, conscious criminality to a 5 year old is wild. Like a 5 year old wakes up being like “Fuck 12, I’m gunna commit grand larceny today!”

Tell the kid not to take things that don’t belong to him. Find his parents and tell them about the situation. Hurling cruel insults at a child is not the respectable adult response. It is the adults here who have the burden of respectable behavior, because they are not children…

This woman failed at that totally and completely. Indicates poor impulse control, low IQ, and antisocial tendencies in an adult. She probably shouldn’t be out there by herself unsupervised…

Sticks and stones dude.
