Man slaps strangerâ??s crying kid

A Gwinnett County man is in custody accused of slapping a strangerâ??s crying toddler in a Stone Mountain Wal-Mart on Monday.

Sonya Mathews, the mother of the 2-year-old child, told police that both were walking in the aisles of the Rockbridge Road store when Roger Stephens, 61, approached and said â??if you donâ??t shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you,â?� according to a police report.

A few moments later, in another aisle, Stephens grabbed the 2-year-old and slapped her across the face four or five times, according to the report.

Stephens then told Mathews, â??See, I told you I would shut her up,â?� according to the report.

A bystander held Stephens until store security came to assist, according to a WSB-TV report.

When police arrived, Stephens said that he slapped the child and that he apologized to Mathews, according to the report.

Stephens was charged with felony cruelty to children. He had his first court appearance Tuesday and is being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond, according to the Gwinnett Police Department spokesman Cpl. David Schiralli.


The 2-year-old victim sustained slight redness to the face, according to the report. There was no video footage in the area the incident took place, according to the report.

Look at this angry old bastard haha.

I guess Wal-Mart attracts all types. Doesn't seem like the kid was doing anything but crying though. If the kid was misbehaving, it wouldn't have been so bad. Even so, I'd never slap a child in the face.

Yeah, if that was my kid and some grumpy old man slapped my kid in the face I'd be super pissed.

haha good read

Oh, the big news would of been.

Man kills old bastered in wall mart after old bastered slaps 3 year old child.


Where was the mother and why did she not stop it after the first slap ?

I have seen bitches in walmart with screaming kids that would just love to fuck someone up that was leagle age.

A swift kick to the nuts would of stopped him.

Too many questions to be answered here. Seems like a setup.

Bet walmart is the one sued here and not the old bastered.

Taking bets now.

let's all admit that every one of us has had that nearly uncontrollable urge to strangle some out of control brat whose mother seemed either unable or unwilling to discipline her child. it's kind of surprising that more people don't just snap and go on killing sprees in local nursery schools and day-care centers. we may know it's totally irrational to blame toddlers for their parents' lack of responsibility and respect for those around them, but sometimes violence seems to be the only way to curb these self-centered breeders and to be almost justified. of course most of us will never act on such atrocious urges, but we can daydream - can't we.

lol id agree that he shouldnt have slapped the kid but you have to say we have all thought about it when someone cant control their kids
:smokin:

Someone should have stomped the shit out of that old fart. You don't hit babies and you don't hit women, period.

sorry guys but if that would have been my kid.... it would have gone down alot different!!

man gets head shoved up his ass and walks around in a 3 point stance for the rest of his life for slaping someones kid:hippy:

That old fart should be going under a mental evaluation to make sure hes firing on all cylinders

old bastard was off his meds probably but it is one of the most annoying thing in the world when a kid is screaming at the top of his lungs and his mother is not willing to do shit in a public place, especially an airport
