When Do You Offer Other Parents Advice?

Just last week the press got a shot at Liv Tyler as she confronted an older woman she’d just seen either smack or

yell at a little baby boy. At the time she saw this she was actually driving by herself in a car, but when she saw it she immediately pulled over and walked up to this woman and tried calming the child down. Now I can’t tell you whether or not this child had just done something or if the lady just went nuts on the kids but this is what Liv told X-17 online who was standing nearby.

“When I saw that, I couldn’t take it. I had to do something.”

X-17 does state that the older woman was actually hitting the toddler on the chest as he cried. That I believe is uncalled for, unless the child is not breathing at which point it would be CPR needed not a beating.

So here’s the question, assumming the mother/granny/caregiver was actually beating the child on the chest, was Liv in the right? I mean what would you do? Most people would turn a blind eye and continue, it took guts for Liv to do this.

Now if the woman was just yelling at the child, would it have been okay for Liv to go up and yell at the lady? Have you ever approached someone doing something to a chlid?
