I'm glad you smacked that kid. I hope you did it hard. The parents should have been forcibly removed with child, from wherever you were, with a swift, firm kick to the ass region. If they were too drunk to do anything but fight, good. Have the Mr. beat that ass.

On abusing guilty parents, I still fondly remember having dinner once with some HS friends and one of their fathers, who was a real curmudgeon (er, that's a compliment in my world). There were two little kids running around unattended and shrieking, doing the "bad kid in a restaurant" thing. My friend's father complained to the waiter a couple of times. Finally, one of the kids, running while looking backwards at the chasing kid, smacked into someone's table and sloshed their drinks all over, and plopped down in the middle of the restaurant screaming. My friends' father slammed his fist down on the table and stood up, bellowing "Get me the manager, I demand that it be removed immediately. And [pointing at the parents], if you do what is right you'll kill it before it can grow up." He got scattered applause, actually.

This reaction is over the top. Some kids have problems and if the children were young enough and the parents were bad enough, the blame for their behavior falls squarely on the parents' shoulders. Improperly behaved children should not be put in that setting and allowed free reign and children otherwise well behaved who lose it should be removed from such a setting immediately. But the "kill it" crap is offensive and stupid and in the event that the child is a product of the parents' stupidity, quite possibly hurtful and harmful to the child in a way that could stick. Meaning, it might actually encourage the child to continue to engage in such behavior. Your friend's father could have found something better to say and should have aimed his insult at the parents.
