I perhaps didn't explain that as I wanted too. I didn't mean it in the 'child is more than the adult' mentality, as I agree with you that hurt is hurt, and no one deserves to be hurt. And those who hurt others should be punished. I guess in my mind, it's just that if you were to approach me and ask me something, and I did not reply to your liking, you could attempt to shake me in the manner this woman did to this child, but I, being an adult, have a chance to defend myself (more so that a 2 year old, simply from a size perspective).
But I agree, it's either more common now, or we just hear about it more ... either way, it's a sad thing :(
