Was the southwest flight attendant correct in taking a child who got slapped away from its parents?   stance: yes, the child was abused:
I don't know this story, I'm not familiar with the details. I don't know what constituted the slap, how heavy the slap was or to what part of the body. There's a lot of information here I am missing. But I truly do believe that to turn one's back on a hostile situation like that and note that it is the domain of policing or child protective services deprives us a little bit of our humanity. I'm not saying that every intervention needs to be violent or threatening in nature, but I believe that sometimes it is worthwhile and important to act, even if it means you may subject yourself to serious legal consequences. This is what compels us to stop when we see an accident and offer assistance.
If it was me. I'd like to think I would have intervened. Who can say unless you're in the situation, though.
