There is NO fine line between abuse and discipline. I do not support abuse by any means however I am a firm believer in "spare the rod and spoil the child" this derives from the Proverbs 13:24. And makes much sense!!!!

This is not about discipline crossing the line to abuse. He is not the child's father; he should never have touched her at all. I don't know about in Georgia, but here in the Northeast, our Walmart stores aren't little 10x10 cubicles; he could have simply walked away. Also, I don't many 2 year olds that would STOP crying because they got slapped in the face.

Spoil the child as in ruin, or waste...

Copied from Microsoft Word Dictionary...

1. vt impair something: to damage or ruin something in such a way that a quality such as worth, beauty, or usefulness is diminished
2. vt harm somebody by overindulgence: to harm the character of somebody, especially a child, by repeated overindulgence
3. vt treat somebody indulgently: to treat somebody with indulgence out of a desire to please.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" Did you read the scripture I referenced to the quote? It is a simple Google search. It would Probably take you all of 11 seconds to find and read it. Then you can share it with Jen she might like this kind of thing. Have you decided to have children yet? lol

Oh and you can't be for either side as it contradicts one another.
