I've lived near a park and an elementary school since time began.You can tell which screams, laughs are playing and which are serious in nature...
One day I was driving past the school and heard a young girl yelling and screaming.I drove up to see an older guy holding up a little girl by her arm, her legs were almost off of the ground.I got out of my car and said hello right to the little girl and started asking her questions.The guy tried to interrupt me and I ignored him.Finally I asked if he was her daddy? I'll never forget the sad look she gave me when she said yes.
I was still in the tough guy mode and looked the guy square in the eyes and said - I live right over there, stop abusing your child in public.
got in my car while he was still bellowing and swearing at me, right in front of a 6 year old kid
