SPOILER My reaction:

I say it's the woman's fault. As the tard's handler, she should've kept a leash on him and not allowed him to kick the kid in the first place. "But it was such a little kick" How do you know it might not have escalated from there? Kid looks 5, what if he popped the kid in the head? /end unPC answer, didn't feel like making it sound nicer

Well, as my wife has worked with Tards for years and years.. I get to learn a great deal about thier "rights" and your "rights". You have none when dealing with a Tard.

Dudes going to jail.

Even if he wasn't mental retarded, what the hell is an adult hitting a kid for anyway. I mean I know he went to kick his 2 year old, but you don't deal with it in the manner of knocking the other kid out. What kind of example does that set for his kid. I hope he does go to jail.

The tape is just sad....

The "tard" appears to have Down's Syndrome. He is apparently mentally-competent enough to use a cell phone-- but is also obviously emotionally-immature, and prone to "act out" towards social stimuli he sees as threatening; therefore, requiring supervision. I am certain his au pair will be more careful when escorting him out into social situations from this point on.

The parent who punched the guy with Down's Syndrome is obviously ignorant about mentally handicapped people, as he "knee-jerk" reacted before looking to see what sort of person threw the kick. Had I been that parent, I would have assumed the obvious ("oh, this guy is handicapped") and maybe grabbed the retarded guy by his sleeve until his companion turned around, but I wouldn't have knocked his block off. I guarantee the lady who was supposed to be watching him would have gotten a HUGE earful from me, though.

and the handler wasnt looking, to complacent.

its a tough call. there are so many wrongs here.... its hard to find a right.

protection of one's young is as instinctive as fight or flight. i know i would've hit that dude more than once.

i think that was richard tuman and his mom or at least it looks like them he has a sister rose. he shit in the pool at wayne high like three times.

probably not him though.

any way it looks ok to me. the retarted guy didn't look that hurt and the dad reacted approprietly. so he got jawed it's not like he got his head stomped in. and the father was calm in his demenor not yelling or braging. just being a dad.

maybee the dissabled guy learned a life lesson and will be a better person for it in the long run. it would be to bad to have to remove either man from society as a danger to the public. I think it seems fair as long as there is no permmanent damage to the dissabled guy witch it looks like he will live. what ever your mental capacity there is still right wrong and concequences to your actions you can either have the capacity to learn or are not to be allowed in public as a dangerous unthinking monster.

you guy's ever see Of mice and men.

one time in high school i was walking down the hall and a wheel chair kid called me over. " hay comb oder here eh". "Yeah whatch you need bud?" whack. he blew my mouth out. Retard strength right cross and i was leaning in. I get up off the floor and look at him and he's laughing as hard as he can pointing. so i get up and walk toward him and he's all laughing trying to reach me and i flicked him in the eye ( thump) like a wrestling match on TV. and he started screaming at the top of his lungs and i walked to class bleeding out of my mouth. the guy only did it cause there was no one else around and he could get away with it. he was like thirty with the mind of a ten year old or something. I never heard anything about it again and every time i passed the kid in the hall he ignored me and i ignored him but there was allways alot of people around. maybee getting poked in the eye will get him to learn not to pick on people. maybee there was never any consequence in the past and he was allowed to act that way without fear of consequence.

Had I been a parent in my early 20's, yes, I also probably would have stomped the guy for having only turned a hair on my child. My Irish was uncontrollable in those days. As a 35 year-old woman (who's been in, witnessed, and/or diffused many a rough situation), I think I have a better assessment of true, imminent corporeal danger these days. I have also taken care of mentally-handicapped people, so I know what to expect of them (the unexpected). The only real harm done was the little one bearing witness to ugly truths of life-- and seeing big people out of control. As HW said, there were too many wrongs to make any right of the entire confrontation.

Another point of mentioning-- I wouldn't have had that little boy turned so far loose ahead of me in that store, either! The dad must have been ten or fifteen feet away with his back turned, judging by how long it took him to jump in there! All small children I go out with must be holding my hand, at all times! I'm protective in a preventative sort of way. Those of you with small children know-- you only have to let go of the little hand, or look away for ONE second..

The Dad only punched him once.....

I don't see the problem in that.....

I totally agree with that.....My kid would never have been that far away from Me.....
