Sorry I haven't written for a while but been recuperating. I'm finally starting to feel somewhat normal. I am doing little things around the house and trying to go without my crutches here at home. The main reason I am writting today is because something is really bothering me. On Thursday, my daughter and I went shopping at Walmart. We came out of the store and headed to the car. As I was standing there waiting for her to open my door, I could hear a little child crying and crying. I thought "Oh poor little boy. He must have wanted something in the store and didn't get it." Well, they came closer and closer to us, there was a truck in the view of the store so I didn't see where they were going. Well, they were in a row across the driving lane from us facing the opposite direction. Just something told me to keep watching. As the woman and the little boy approached her car she opened the back door and was yelling at him to get in. She yelled a couple of times and then bent down and pulled down his little jeans and his little undies and really laid about 5 or 6 smacks on his bare butt. You could hear the slaps across the parking lot. I started to yell at her to stop and she is abusing him. She did stop and starting yelling at me to mind my own business, it was not my business, and swearing at me. We were yelling back and forth for a few minutes. She told me to go ahead and call the cops and I told her she would be gone before I could call them. I don't have a cell phone. She said hitting him is just fine cause that's the way she was raised and she raised 8 children. This was her grandson!! I told her he would have marks on his little butt for the cops to see what she did. Anyway, she called me white trash and jumped into her car. I tried to get her liscense plate # but I only got the first #'s. I have been bothered by this ever since it happened. I keep thinking that if she is doing this in public, what is she doing in private. I keep telling myself that I should have called the cops and waited for them. I should have done more. I just needed to get this off my chest. All I think of is this poor little boy. Thanks for listening!

So sorry that you had to be there. It's so sad what some people do to kids. I hope her child sees what she has done and won't let her have him anymore.

Lorrie,
You did the right thing, and if you got just a few of the numbers of her license plate, and you can describe the vehicle she was driving, you can still call the police. They can run a partial license plate with a description of the vehicle. I would go ahead and call, and also give a description of her. You might also go back to Walmart and ask the cashiers if they remember her, and see if any of them know who she is, because chances are she goes there on a regular basis. I'm like you, I would be wanting to make sure that little one isn't being abused even more at home. You are a very caring person, and your motherly and grandmotherly instincts kicked in. You would probably feel much better if you went ahead and made those calls. Let us know what happens. I'm so proud of you. Also, I am thrilled to hear you are starting to feel better. Good for you sweetie. Love ya always, Jami
