Luckily the worst the kid got was a swift kick in the head. It would have been awful if he'd been snatched. Anyone else remember Jamie Bugler (I think that's it, not sure) and what happened to him when his mother looked away for 3 seconds?

ydi for assaulting a child psycho. eye for an eye I say. someone kick that bitch in the face.

Well at least you have good reflexes

Look, I understand the desire to assault someone for peeping, but it's not legal. If you assault someone for peeping, you could get arrested for assault. Better just to alert security and have them deal with this person.

To all the people who said its child abuse, please shut up. It's not. I bet you anything that she's had past experiences of peeping toms in changerooms. It was instinct that she kicked the kid in the face, if she had her choice she probably wouldn't have kicked him. The mother should have been supervising her child. She obviously feels terrible about what she did, so please, stop trying to make her feel worse!

You deserve it, and by "it" I mean the ******* medal of valour! You are my new hero!

atleast ya feel bad for him

Kid learned two good life lessons: 1) Don't peek under dressing room doors. 2) When you have an irresponsible mother, you might get kicked in the head. Too bad, so sad. I would have kicked him too.

20 years ago I would have been enraged at this, but the fact is these days there are lots of ignorant people out there with camera phones who are genuinely doing invasive acts. So now, I'm kinda torn, I don't think it's cool to act in a violent way like this without forethought, however I can understand the girls reaction as well. Hey, I just hope the Kid was okay, today he learned to knock...

I kick little kids in the face all the time. No worries OP you did the right thing.
