For outraged and outraged seconded, consider how loud a 2-yr old can scream and cry. A baby cries expectedly and often, predictably and unpredictably. A 2-yr old on the other hand can scream and screech loudly and obnoxiously at the drop of a bugger. Of the course this man should not have slapped the baby, but that does not make stupid monsters of all who agree parents should have necessary control. Mother should have dropped everything and jolly jumped to quiet the child before the man's screw further tightened. That is that.
