If you have a hard time believing that my child hasn't been yelled at numerous times for things like making faces at babies, growling at them, spitting, not waiting a turn even when I'm there to hold him back, you don't live in my world and Rabat my point.

If you were a child spits  at a young child or baby; I WILL  say any quiet but stern voice "do not do that."  And I will do that even if you were standing right there, and I would expect you to back me up on teaching your child that that is not acceptable behavior. It takes a village, OP, [/quote]

But if the mom intervenes and acts appropriately to address the situation, you would still say something??  
If there is a parent who has intervened appropriately, I won't get involved at all.  Life is short- I'll just pick up my child and move away to another part of the playground.[/quote]

The problem is that you don't have a SN kid, and therefor you don't know what "intervene appropriately" really means for all kids.  It's not universal.  Obviously a kid who is a physical threat to himself or others has to be stopped from causing damage. But beyond that there are a whole range of interventions, some of which like planned ignoring may look to you like the parent "isn't doing anything," but is actually an evidence-based method that might have been recommended by therapists.
