A video of a Dad apparently abusing his daughter in a  department store is bringing attention to the question of when it is appropriate for observers to intervene.  

I've been asked to write a post on this for the Healthy Kids blog at philly.com and think it would be most meaningful to include quotes from Philly area colleagues.  

Want to share a brief, quotable thought ? Please reply  by Friday and  include  your name and title  if the editors  use your comment.  

Thank you!

Original Post

Public shaming of a child is worse than  a physical beating. I have to stay away from Little League Football games because of what I observe. Parents just don't understand. I gave parents of a child I treated for  physical injury at a game my ACEs/Resilience handout (6 pages). It's tough to look away and we shouldn't.
