I just read:

Someone else's crying kid can be annoying, but one man in Florida took the matter into his own hands and now police are looking to get their hands on him.

The unidentified man allegedly grabbed, then slapped a 3-year-old girl for crying loudly while they were in a grocery store elevator.

The grumpy old man then bolted out of the elevator.

It weren't me... honest it weren't.

...But he's got all my sympathy. Rotten kids need a good hiding now and then, right?

Wrong! it's the mother that need a good slap! Misbehaving children are the result of mothers who have no idea how to raise their own kids.

Her choices?

1. Don't take her in an elevator if she is upset.
2. Comfort her if she's afraid of being in an elevator.

If the child is a naturally a screamy brat then that's because of her home life.
