um, why is the dude kicking a kid?
There was a thread about this a while ago. I can't remember the name and it would take too long to search for it. It turns out that the guy who kicked the kid had some sort of mental handicap - which I guess accounts for his behaviour - but the kids father couldn't have known that so I can understand his reaction.
yeah, no kidding. sorta. i mean, i'm not into hitting people, but kicking kids might make me react too...
