@midnighteyes

Dont you think there is a huge difference between a parent trying to calm their child down and between cursing at a child or getting physical

I think what I would do would depend on the situation and what the parent is actually doing to their child. If its just ignoring their child, or raising their voice against them, I dont know if I would interfere. But if the parent is actually screaming abusively at the child or hitting them, I dont think you should just sit there and witness it, because that is child abuse

How do you do it? Like white parents? GO TO YOUR ROOM type of deal? You don’t have to verbally abuse the child.. nor am I advocating that. Its the TONE, LOOK on your face/eyes you set with the kid and it really starts at home. You don’t discipline the kid because others are watching and what they might think. I know there are MANY DESI families who DO NOT say ANYTHING when they see their kid doing something wrong, yelling, hitting other kids and that is just sad.

Kids are strong creatures, their shoulders don’t dislocate that easily. You need to do something to get their attention off the situation and on to you.
