My friend and her husband had gotten out of the car to go into a store. Their son had been a whining brat (believe me .. the kid was awful) for thirty miles. When his father got him out of the car he tried to get away. His father held his hand and swatted him on the rear. Mind you ... he was wearing a diaper and a snow suit, but some busy body reported them. Being that I used to baby sit him during the day, I had to answer questions about them to DSS. Basically I said it was about time he got some discipline. (The kid ruled his parents) His nursery school teacher told the guy the same thing.
