Day 321: What would you do?

I have been watching a ton of What Would You Do? videos from ABC's primetime on youtube. They have a variety of situations, ranging from a teen beating his girlfriend to all kinds of racism and discrimination. I wanted to say that I was apart of a situation when I used to work at the park that was a "What would you do" situation. 

There was a man, I would mention his race, but I don't want people to throw stereotypes around, so there was a family, they had just come off of the one ride and they had two small children and what I assumed to be his wife, with him. The one was a little boy, couldn't be more than four years old. After getting off the ride, he dropped his pants and underwear on the ground. He was crying and I guess that he may have soiled himself and it was uncomfortable and he was small and didn't know what else to do. Well, the parents picked him up and started attempting to change him, I suppose. Well, the child was continuing to cry. The father begins to repeatedly smack the child in the face. Not just light taps, he was WAILING on this child. I was with another girl, she was in the game next to mine. She told me not to say anything, to just leave it alone.

I am the victim of abuse, I will not just let it go. I screamed "STOP." To get his attention. He came over to me and I literally felt my heart drop to my ass. He came up to me and asked me relatively politely if I had a problem. I told him that "you can't hit him like that, that's not going to help!" And he began to demand that was his child and he could do whatever he wanted to that kid. I told him repeatedly that it was not okay. He told me where to shove it and walked away. As soon as he turned his back on me, I got security on his ass.

I feel extremely strongly about some issues. And as that 100 % true to the bone story shows you, I can't bite my tongue on any issues. Here is my opinion on what I would do in some of these situations.

Seeing a child being forced into a marriage.

I can imagine myself being the lady in the last part of this clip. I would wait until they had all left and would have snuck her out the back and ran with her.

A Baby in a locked car.

First, I'd call the police. Next, I would have checked if the door was unlocked. If not, one of those chairs would be going directly through the front window.
