I think I speak for most parents when I say, “don’t tell me how to discipline my child.” But, what if you see something that’s just not right?

What I thought would be a lovely dinner with family and friends, turned out to be a very uncomfortable situation. Just as the dessert was being served, I saw a mom punch her 4-year-old in the arm. My mouth dropped to the floor and I was speechless. She continued to flex as if she was getting ready to serve up another blow. I looked around to see if anyone saw what just happened. But, they were all too busy enjoying their sweet treats to notice.
