I was not going to post on this but I just am so upset by what other's have posted, like they would of beaten this 2 year old

I am curious as to how you all would of handled the 2 year old if it was your son that did this

As a parent to 4 boy's that were all once just 2 years of age, I used time out when they were this young, but I did tell them in terms they could grasp just what they did that was wrong.
The original poster did say that the mother did put him in time out so it was not as if she was letting her 2 year old get away with his wrong doing. How is that being a bad parent? At least she did not sit and ignore that her son did wrong. I am sorry but if anyone threatened my 2 year old child a "world of harm" no matter what my child had done, They would be the one strung up the nearest flag pole or have my fist in their face. You are the adult in a situation like this and should act accordingly, threatening a 2 year old is just wrong
