luberhill Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 You go to a decent sit down restaurant with your wife . A guy , wife, daughter ? about 12, and a little girl about 6. The little girl was fussing like a child does when they are tired . The father , acting like a white thrash lowlife , starts yelling and threatening the little girl that if she doesn’t stop she is going to get “ smacked in the face “. More threats , turning it up a notch grabbing her, then a smack in the face. My wife , who is already physically upset at the treatment , jumps up and goes over crying and asks the dude “ please stop , she’s a little girl , she can come sit with us “. Then it’s my turn ... He sat back down when I went over and nicely asked him to pls tone it down , reminded him where we were. He proceeded to tell me “ I’m the father and you have no idea the little bitch she has been today “ I said , can you just pls try to speak calmly . He said “ what I’m going to do is smack her in the face again if she doesn’t stop “ So ,,, I said , “ that’s not a good idea , and if you do that, I’m going to smack you in the face and you are not going to enjoy it “ So he jumps up and says “ do you want to take this outside “ further acting like a lowlife. About that time another dude comes over ... I’m really trying to scale it down and this other guy says to the lowlife “ hey many knock it off” Im friends with the owner and the lowlife is not a regular customer . I assume the owner is getting ready to call the police ... The guy sits down , then the whole family gets up and leaves without ordering. I apologized to the owner and the other customers all came over and thanked me for stepping in .. In hind site , I probably should have called the police but thought it may make it harder in the little girl ... But maybe I already did . Hitting a little girl in the face was more than I could take ... I usually walk away from trouble but I couldn’t just turn my head ... I control my temper very well but if he ended up outside with me it probably wouldn’t have ended up good .. Not that it did ... My wife is blaming herself for going over ... I’m sure this isn’t the first time he has hit her nor will it be the last . And all the while the mother never said a word .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think you handled it very well. I hope you were able to enjoy your meal. Sometimes it is very hard not to do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent death Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 With the red flag laws the way they are it's hard to stand up for anybody today . Sad world 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoots100 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Your wife and yourself should be commended for letting that ass hat leave the restaurant on his own accord. While I don't condone fighting, I do condone sticking up for the helpless. That dude is very lucky that you and your wife were there, as It would've ended very badly for him if someone with less restraint was in your position, especially after he stood up. On a side note, I would've gotten their license plate, as you know that if he's not afraid to hit her in public, the abuse is probably much worse at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowin Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wow, what a idiot. Actually tried to rationalize his actions by saying you have no idea how much of a bitch she was. Mom didn’t say anything because he most likely treats her the same way. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytracker Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Problem is little girl is going to get it when she gets home . Good for you standing up for her. Mom that won't defend her own child shouldn't be allowed to have kids . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 This sounds like a scene from a movie. Its a tough call. If you saw someone spank their child you probably wouldn't consider alerting authorities but if he smacked that child in the face I'm not sure what I'd do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 You witnessed an assault on a child. The authorities should have been called. DSS likely would have got involved. Perhaps helping that girl? Anyone who hits a child in the face is an abuser, plain and simple. And that guy was no man, he's a coward. Getting physical with scum like that, in a restaurant situation only makes a good guy wrong, when the authorities could have, and should have been called. If you messed that guy up, outside, he could have legally sued you. This mamby pamby world we live in now is nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp_bucks Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 My mom dealt with the same thing a couple weeks ago at a store. It got to the point that her and another woman called the cops on the mom for mistreating her kids. I guess the woman my mom saw pushed her kids down and kept slapping them for doing nothing.

jperch Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 That is just an awful situation. If that guy was comfortable slapping his little girl in the face in a public restaurant imagine what he does in the privacy of his own home. So sad for the little girl.
