We all want to discipline our kids so they could learn the difference between right and wrong. But what happens when discipline becomes abusive? How about when you are dragging your daughter by her hair in the middle of a supermarket while you’re pushing your cart?
“Please stop. I promise I won’t do it again! Please stop! “
These were the words that Erika Burch heard coming from a little girl who was crying while her hair was wrapped around the shopping cart handle as the father pushing in the middle of Wal-Mart. When Erika heard the cry of the girl, she approached her father to ask him to let the little girl go, but she responded Erika to “mind her own business”.
Burch called the police to tell them about the father’s actions and starting taking photos for proof.
When the police arrived, they didn’t help much. They even said to Erika that the father had the right to discipline his kids as he wants to.
Erika got angry since even the authorities couldn’t help her so she turned to the social media. She turned to Facebook so she could call attention to the child abuse.
Erika’s post got shared more than 32.000 times and people got furious when they saw the photos of the father dragging his daughter’s hair.
