My heart goes out to the poor daughter of that third mum, especially. On a bus journey recently I was on the top deck with my daughter (4) and a mum was harrying *her* little boy, no older than 5, up the stairs, saying "If you don't hurry up those stairs, I'm going to break your neck." Children that young take those kind of threats literally. It breaks my heart to see the next generation being damaged so. I wanted to say something.
