  • Witness Abuse at Walmart...

    Attention all shoppers and attention all Bloggers, please take your time read this very important blog because it really happen and ashamed or upset to see this happen in public.

    Yesterday (July 17, 2008) which was a Friday, I saw something that happeneed in Walmart that I wish I did something but I didn't. This true event happen in Walmart, in Alexandria, Va on Richmond Highway. Why am I giving the exactly location of Walmart? Because what I saw happen isn't make up and is a fact as a Witness that I saw this.

    Here is what happened. I was with my family in the Card isle. I was waiting for my family to help my daughter pick out birthday cards for her friends that she will be going to birthday parties.  One that already happen today and one more next Saturday.  Anyhow, while I was waiting, I saw ths family walked into the Card isle as not to buy a card but they were walking through to go to another location in Walmart.  The father and a little son was walking in first through the isle.  They were walking ahead of a Mother and daughter.  As the Mother and daughter was walking into the card isle, the mother was yelling at her daugher about something. They were only about 5 feet away from me.   As I was watching them, the mother snapped really angry at her daughter. She took her right hand and swing it to smack her daughter in the head. I can hear the slap sound that the mother did to her daughter. Her daughter was a teenager and was about the same height as the mother. That is a very easy height for the Mother to smack her daughter in the head.  The daughter was a little scared after being hit in the head but she did not cry or scream at all.  The mother yelled at her daughter a few minutes more after hitting her daughter. They then walked of to the end of the card isle. The husband did not watch what happen but was waiting for his wife and daughter to catch up with him and the son.

    After they left and even right now as I am writing this email, I am extremely upset to see something like this in publc. What the mother did to her daughter is abusing and assult.  I should have stepped up and ask the daughter would she like to press charges against her mother for what she has done.  I am a witness that clearly saw what happened.  That is not normal to see in the society. If I had her mother arrested, I would ask the court that the mother takes Angry Management course.  Hitting her daughter was totally wrong.  Why? Because since she hit her daughter, her daughter will remember that it was okay to hit someone on the head and may perhaps do it again someday to a friend or to her own children in the future.

    If I had it my way, I was dead serious to have the mother arrested and be force to take Angry Management courst. Why? Because in Angry Management they teach people how to calm down, how to handle their anger, how to look things in the child point of view and how to deal with anger as that alcohol is not good to have with anger.  She really deserve to take that course.  She will hate me for interfering with her situation and so would her husband.  But in a long run, she will thank me for learning how to look at things at the child point of view in any situation.

    Children are like a computer with basic progam in their mind.  From birth to the age of 18 years old or when the child leaves home, they look up to their parents to learn about different things. Everything from birth to graduation from high school, the child looks up to their parents to learn about how to be in good behavior, how to be responsible in life and so on.  Like as the mother hit the daughter in the head, it teaches the daughter that it was okay to do that to others. That was a wrong message the mother was sending to the daughter when the mother did that.

    Sadly, this happen anywhere in the society and it is not acceptable. Since I did not interfer with the situation and she got away from it, she will have to answer to God why she did that on her judgement day. What she did was not love at all.  God watches and record everything that happen in life. I know we all have free will to do what we want to do in life. God did not plan the mother to hit the daughter in the head. I don't know why God wanted me to witness this. But it happen and I did not react.  It is a crying shame.

    If you ever seen anyone do these things, do ask for the store manager about it. That is what I should have done. I don't care if it was a simple snap or none of my business but it was totally wrong.
