Maybe while she was talking to whom ever to return the stuff her kid was terrorizeing the store.We have all seen kids that run amuck in public because they know their parents cant punish them in public. Maybe her kid was one of thoes kids and when she got her kid back to the car the kid got a whuppin. There ia a big diffrence between a whuppin and abuse. Abuse is burning kids with cigaretts , briuseing them and breaking their bones. A whuppin will be forgotten in an hour and there arent any marks because it might be excessive , but it isnt abuse.

There is a big difference between a "whipping" and abuse. This tape is clear evidence of abuse. It doesn't matter what the child did. If this girl peed on the store managers shoes, punched his groin, and bite his leg that wouldn't justify what this tape shows. Nothing could justify this.
There is quite a bit more to child abuse than burning, bruising, and broken bones.
A controlled paddling of the bottom, or swatting of the hand is one thing, but an angry parent physically "venting" on their kid is abuse.
