Hi can I have a PPP? Thank you x
I’m going to start by dying I’m not a mother, so I don’t know how everyone disciplines their children so I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting.
Today at work I witnessed a mother dragging her child around by the ear, and screaming at him to stop crying. The child was crying in pain and fear, and I felt so horrible. The woman then reached down and punched him multiple times and slapped him full forced in the face! It wasn’t a little pat on the bum to say, “Stop misbehaving!” This was full strength slapping and punching.
As I was at work I have no idea how to address this. I was with another customer and was horrified. I’m not sure what I can do about this- I feel if I make a complaint to the police I’ll be laughed out the door as I don’t know the woman’s name and could only give a description.

Poster reply – Could you reply to my post?
Hi guys. Thank you for all of the advice. I’m going to go to my local police station and report it anonymously tomorrow.
I’m currently a temp at the job with the possibility of being kept on- we have to be polite and courteous to customers. If she kicked up a fuss about me intervening I could loose the only thing paying my bills.
I don’t know if We have CCTV but hopefully we do.
To anyone asking why I didn’t intervene or take the child away, child protection laws and stranger danger. Child protection laws would have gotten me fired just for touching the child as children have to take our hands we cannot take theirs. I could loose my PVG.
Leave it – its not your business. Even though its awful and disgusting behavior for a mother to do that to her child. If u whiteness her doing it to her child again then definitely do something that time
Oh my god would definitely say something to the police give them the time and name of the place you work also find out about CCTV it’s worth a shot I rather I know I said something then nothing at all x
Omg i dont care if i was in front of the queen i would have gone up to that woman and took the child off her.
Please call the police. That poor child.
If she can do that in public i can only imagine what she does at home.ring the police explain as much as you can and let them investigate as that hild could be the next little one on the news and people will say how did nobody notice or do anything.its everyones buisness when a child is being hurt as they cant stand up for themselves so an adult has to do it for them.
Call the police a mother from my area assaulted her child after a nandos he later died she hid his body in a suitcase and claimed the 5 year old ran away! Had the whole.community out searching! Call the police.esp if ur place of work has cctv xxx
CCTV ? Wow no excuses for that behaviour poor child , if she does that in public then lord knows what goes on behind closed doors , at least call and seek advice , if that was an assault on an adult some one would have intervened and called the police there and then !
Go to your local station and explain the situation. Maybe your work has CCTV they can use to identify. It’s abuse so it needs to be dealt with before the child is seriously injured or killed
Call the police she could kill that child! Dont put it on someone else to do police will take it seriously and look for cctv xx
Safeguarding children is everyone’s business!
.standing by watching then posting it on fb doesn’t make u any better than the woman that did this!
If she’s doing that to her child in public what is she like behind closed doors?
Do you have cctv? Maybe have a word with your manager see what they say xxx
Don’t leave it. That child has just been abused! Phone police and enquire about cctv. It’s worth a try. Xx
Contact the police and ask your manager to look at cctv. What a horrible thing to see 😞
This isn’t discipline
This is abusive behaviour
It’s not normal to smack your child that hard and drag them by the ear 🙁
If she will do that in public I dread to think what is happening behind closed doors I would definitely report it.
I’d be calling the police definitely, you wouldn’t be laughed at, at worst they take the description and look into it xx
If she does that in public, I’d fear what she does behind closed doors! That poor child 🙁
U say u couldn’t intervene because u was worried about your job but the customer with u could have said something to her
Report it. If that goes on in public what on earth does that child go through at home. Poor thing
Wouldn’t even have to think twice i would be on the phone to the police. That poor child x
Police police police! Do you have cctv at your work?
Call the police and is ther cctv if so show them
Phone the police and see if you have access to any CCTV. X
So you said nothing at the time?
