A 61-year-old man has been charged with child cruelty after allegedly slapping a toddler he did not know when she would not stop crying.
Police claim Roger Stephens slapped the two-year-old girl four times, leaving her face red, after warning her mother to keep her quiet in a Wal-Mart in Atlanta, Georgia.
'See, I told you I would shut her up,' he said to the mother after the attack, according to a police report.

Slap my chile!! My CHILE! Who!! Naa star cant happen.
Now looka I'm all for a village raising children and I know back in the days if a child did doing foolishness a neighbour might cut he tail and send he home to get he tail tarnish again by the parents but a complete stranger stepping to a child and hitting it in Walmart? Totally outrageous.
It says here after the incident they call security for him. Call security for who? Look if he did hit my child they wun be no calling of security it would be ambulance or undertaker they calling cause I woulda wash he way in some propa blows.
Imagine the poor chile crying, a lil two year old of all things, a toddler, and he a big hardback old man slap the chile 4 times. Wha he could only want two bullpisle lashes in he back? Whapax!
Look I see many children crying in public places for apparently no reason all the time. I admit that it can be annoying at times but hey its for the parents to deal with plus at most times there are totally legitimate reasons for the tears anyways especially if the child is that young and doesnt have the means to express itself verbally. All you can do is accept that.
I do see folks on the subway who get mighty upset when a child is crying though, like the chile interrupting their sleep or they dont feel the chile has as much right to be on the train as they do. Get over it people! Accept it, make the best of it, smile at the chile, move on.
But I feel this man coulda only have mental problems or be drunk or on drugs cause how he gine haul off and slap up somebody chile dat he aint kno so doah? Wha in this day an age that is a real risk. Suppose the mudda did haul out a gun or a knife and juck he through or pick up some a Walmart cutback specials and gi he a cutass. Wha dat wud be he own fault. Poppit!

We wudda fought like two men if that was my child. No bosie, dat dey wudda meant me tekkin' off my my shoe and drivin' inta he for'head. Yuh doan mess around wif people chilren.
this is just horrible - i cannot imagine how any parent would feel if a man did that to their child.
maybe we would have a beating fest cuz i would make him cry!
Yes, that man needs beating. What was he thinking? Parents can't even smack their own children in public without some kind of outrage.
A thought. Have you ever been in a store and seen a child crying and laying on the dirty floor, people walking by shaking their heads, while the parent just stands there in distress while trying to be invisible?
All too true--that man was likely crazy
I don't have any children yet, but if that was my child than man would be on the floor from the first slap!
All I here thinking is thank god he didn't have a gun on him. What a crazy fellow
