I agree with BM Screw you and your kid if you do not know how to be a part of society. I should not have to "ignore" your kid because you do not want to deal with it or get a babysitter while you do your shopping. If your kid acts up in public, do something about it like my parents did. When I acted up in public, my mom would take me out of the store and dealt with me and my issue. Ignoring a crying child in your house is fine and just, but not in public. No one would deal with me screaming in a store, why should I deal with your brat because you are a crappy parent? The guy was wrong to touch some one else's kid, he should have slapped the crappy parent.
