STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — Police say a 61-year-old man annoyed with a crying 2-year-old girl at a Walmart slapped the child several times after warning the toddler's mother to keep her quiet.
A police report says after the stranger hit the girl at least four times, he said: "See, I told you I would shut her up."
Roger Stephens of Stone Mountain is charged with felony cruelty to children. It was unclear if he had an attorney and a telephone call to his home Wednesday was unanswered.
Authorities say the girl and her mother were shopping Monday when the toddler began crying. The police report says Stephens approached the mother and said, "If you don't shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you."
Authorities say after Stephens slapped the girl, she began screaming.
Whatever happened to the good ol days when you could slap random babies in Walmart without the Spanish Inquisition?
I am going to jail soon too, because the next cock-sucking piece of white-trash that walks there dog by my house and lets it take a shit in my yard is going to be wearing it in their fucking hair.
That man is a hero though he should have slapped the mother, there should be a license for a couple to have kids because i dont know what has changed in the last 20 years but you arent going to get anywhere when you try and reason with a 2 year old it does my head in
