Quinto is not the hero type by any means.

Quinto's. Although I am not sure I would have smacked the feral brat. I would have definitely grabbed him and pushed him out of the way. The kid was swinging a bat at other children while his lazy irresponsible parents did nothing. I mistyped, daddy said something like, "Bobby that's not nice. Play nice and put the by down".

You mean 'whose,' and I'm on Quinto's side.

If a child is putting other children in harm's way - and their parents are not stepping in - I think physical intervention is acceptable. Not a slap (per se), but grabbing/restraining/physically removing yes. For all the helicoptering going on, it sure seems like there's some absurd permissiveness on behalf of many parents out there.

If you seem the show whos side are you on? I had his debate yesterday with some moms. I believe hitting someone elses child is wrong but that kid is a brat. If you don't reprimand and teach boundaries, who will? The show is okay by it hits on permissive and attachment parenting which we are going through right now.

Who was right?
