Characteristics of some smacking parents3

They do not realize that yelling at the top of their adult voices, red in the face threatening to belt the living daylights out of a 4’elf is er … in this day and age…kind of …embarrassing?They’ve already got half a dozen abolitionists quietly considering an urgent speed dial to Social Services, the Community Domestic Violence Police Unit. They’ve already got people sneakily photographing their bullying on digi cams and mobile phones from behind stacks in readiness for the court case. The Superette Manager and assistants are anxiously frowning in the direction of the disturbance, plain clothes store personnel are moving into the “zone”.The parent is 100%unaware of this and 100% convinced of their inalienable right to behave like this. That it could possibly upset anyone is beyond their imagination. And if it does then there’s the usual remedy, threats, lying, accusations, manipulation, counter false allegations.
