Darren says a woman working at Kohl’s grabbed his rowdy 2-year-old, making him cry. He’s angry and wants to take action but isn’t sure what to do.

He writes:

To set the story for you guys I was in Kohl’s and i had my kid with me he is only 2 so he liked to move a lot. We made out way back to the back toward the customer service desk and while I was there my child went up to the job application computer and touched the screen when he did that some women grabbed his hand and started fussing at him.

Are they allowed to do this? I walked out of the store, i didn’t feel that my child needed to see my fight with that women since he was already about to cry. I really just don’t feel that this is right. Is there anything i can do?

I don’t think it’s right for an employee or anyone other than the parent to grab a kid unless he’s about to hurt himself or someone/thing else. But on the other side of the coin, nothing good can come from letting your toddler run wild out of arm’s reach.
