Only doing the smacking that parents won’t do.

The poll is currently 83% for swatting the kid, and 16% for the liberals. Swatting the parents doesn’t seem to be an option.

Not able to ascertain guilt without a picture of the nurse.

Lesson to learn smack the parent instead.

The picture is in the article, but regardless of appearance, she was correct.
A pity she could spank the parents as well.

You have to leave other people’s children alone, except in your dreams.

Does that rule out tripping as they run by?

The kid needed to be scolded/swatted on the bottom, preferably by her mother. Unruly kids in public are irritating enough, but when you don't feel well and are suffering the wait at the hospital, you really don't need to endure a rambunctious, undisciplined 3-year-old. If it was to the point that the nurse felt compelled to act, I gotta come down on the nurse's side.

Guilty! She goes to the top of the top 10 list of “Why parents need to discipline their own kids (or hire someone who is willing to do it).”
Safe bet this lady can succeed with just one swat.

Indeed. And forcing her to wear that red hat. Cruel.

That is not a nice thing to do to someone. Didn’t your momma teach you that?
To: Graybeard58
A beauty queen she ain’t, but she is apparently highly respected at her workplace, and in a responsible position. A child running freely around in a casualty ward can cause a serious accident to themselves or others.
