I wudn't say anything to them, but I wud definately give an insulting glare to them.. That wud definately embarass them for sure... But, I don't like interrupting in anyone's personal matters, and don't like anyone doing the same to me as well...

I would give a good glare, if it was like a swat on the butt or somehing but if the child was really being treated horrible I would call the police, you never know what the parent would do

Never Never intervene in a family relationship! Its nobody's business, unless its outside of the Law. Then its time to report the incident to the proper authorities. I would never dream of interfering, and if I was to witness such a scene, I would be Very embarrassed!

Yeah but if they're fighting out in public, they're making it other people's business.
But you're saying if you saw a woman or man beating their child in public, you wouldn't say anything?

I try to hold my tongue cos it's not my business but it would depend on how bad it was.

That's what I say about the whole thing, depending on how bad it is.

It depends on the situation. Most of the time, it's better not to talk.

it actually depends on the parent. if the parent is like my age, i may say something but in a calm and nice way but if it is much older than me, unfortunately i just keep my thoughts in my mind:-(
