Can't believe she didn't go to jail
While I've been away, I've seen many nut jobs, but I'm going to start with the biggest.
I was at a bulk store shopping a while back. You know the kind, hard cement floors, great big carts, you get the idea. Anyway, I was in line waiting to pay for whatever mega box of crap I was purchasing and a checkout or 2 over I see a kid, maybe 3 standing up in the cart and jumping. This goes on for while, then, out of the blue the "mother" yanks the cart and the kid falls smack out of the cart and onto the floor. The "mother" then laughs and says, "That's what happens when you stand up in the cart. Quit crying."
Now, not that if she HAD warned the child this makes this ok, but the whole time she didn't once tell the child to sit down. She didn't make an effort to get him out of the cart, she didn't even look at him.
So the kid is screaming, a manager comes running, and all the mother can say is "he fell out." I grabbed the manager, told him what I saw and asked him to call the police. The paramedics come, take the kid who has a serious goose egg, and the police come. They take my name, and leave the office with what looked like a video tape. When I left, the boy had been taken to the hospital to make sure he was ok, and the mother was being escorted out by the police.
Later, I looked the mother's name up and found out she never did jail time. She plead to something like child endangerment and completed a parenting class. I assume, since she wasn't charged with murder or manslaughter that the kid was fine. Makes me sick to think if that is how the mother behaves in public what she does at home.

How many other people saw this and said nothing?
