What would you do ? I live in a real small town, and i worked in a department store before i started maternaty leave so i've seen this couple around town more then once. The man is always screaming and yelling at his kids and wife. Untill he notices there are people around and then he is all nice and talks calmly to them. I am only a small woman, i wouldnt dare go and call him on it.. but i think if he does that in public, does he beat those kids when they are home?! What would you do and how would you feel if you seen this type of behavour ?

I'm not a big woman either, however i would definatly step in and help this woman and child. I would find the nearest security gaurd, and let him watch from afar. Either that or i'd actually walk up the man and tell him to treat his family with a little respect, if he was my husband i'd beat the snot outta him. I don't stand for anyone yelling at me expecially a man, if he wants to yell he better get ready for me to yell back!

I wouldn`t / rather couldn`t be sure what I would do either , I`m small myself . I think if I had a cell phone I`d call 911 and maybe try and follow where they go . That would let them the location . I would be terrified but it may be the only way out for this family ....
I shouldn`t even say that I would cause I would be terrified that I would be the one to blow a fuse in this guy and cause real damage ...
I don`t know , I would hope I could help stop this type of violence ...

I would rather believe that he does not do that in his home but chances are he does God please give his wife the strenght to get herself and kids away from that kind of abuse

it is best that you report the man to the authorities. it is up to them to put the family under surveillance. besides, the fact alone that he shouts at his wife and kids is case enough for abuse of the children and maltreating the wife. this man needs counseling. he must be made to undergo one so he will overcome the bad habit of shouting at the helpless ones.

I can't agree more about cafe-writer's opinion. That is a most cerebral approach.
