A caller reports possible child abuse at Walmart and Sheriff's deputies are responding. A woman was allegedly in the parking lot striking a child.
UPDATE 2:19 p.m.: They left in a gray Dodge Caravan and officers have it stopped in front of a nearby pizzeria.
UPDATE 2:35 p.m.: The van's occupants and the 7-year-old are on their way now after speaking with law enforcement. This was apparently a case of "grandparents trying to control their out-of-control grandchild," said an officer. No report was taken.

There seems to be a plague of people at walmart that dont know how to MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Just because you dont approve of the way another parent rears their child, does not give you the right to call the police on them. FFS get off your high horse.
Gee theres a trend, I guess
Gee theres a trend, I guess from the statement Chris posted he feels that people that got involved with the man who lifted a 7yr old over his head and slammed him to the ground were nosy busybodies as well. I hate to say it Christopher, but the 1st amendment gives us the right to call police if we see something that we think they need to get involved in. FFS why dont YOU get off your high horse and stop telling others what they can and can't do. Walmart is a public place, you dont want people pointing, looking and talking or calling the police, then do your shenanigans at home in private, put your business, actions behavior in public then expect public to react and respond.
