Asda, Durkar

I was in Asda this afternoon, a Grandma was with her two grandchildren boy & girl. Maybe about 4&6, they were being silly but the grandma turned and really gave the boy a whack in front of everyone. I'd hate that to have been my child

That’s horrendous, I would have said something though I don’t blame you for not doing so. I likely would have reported it too. But unfortunately far too many people still believe in abusing children and don’t see spanking (the act of physically hurting a child) to be as bad as hurting an adult

As horrible as that may have been for you to witness, the grandma of those children will have been raised by her parents to believe that being smacked as a punishment is what is normal for the generation she grew up in. It isn't right by any means, and I don't condone her behaviour. Each generation is taught differently.
