Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to Subway. A lady was in the line with her toddler. The kid screamed in his bid for attention, while his mother and the cashier ignored him, to the point that his voice became a loud screech and the sandwich artist couldn't hear me. I bellowed, "SHUT THAT KID UP!" Silence and glares followed. FML
Today, while working at Subway, a man ordered a sub with avocado. When I told him it was no longer available, he screamed, spit in my face and ran out, pushing over an innocent bystander in the process. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML
Today, my son got a beating. Apparently, he went to a club, waited until he saw a couple of girls pulling a duckface for a photo, then rushed over and threw pieces of bread at them. Their boyfriends, not too surprisingly, didn't appreciate this. I had to drive the idiot home from the hospital. FML
Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML
Today, my son trained his little sister to walk up to strangers and whimper: "My mommy punches me." FML

Not only would I have clapped too, I would've burst out laughing. Your son had it coming.

Your son learned a very valuable lesson. And you learned either discipline your son yourself or the world will.

You're raising quite a winner there. Thanks. Just what the world needs, another self- centered brat. Why didn't YOU two leave when he began acting up? Lousy mothering skills.

Hahahaha! Should've punched you for being a terrible parent!!! Give the kid a chance! Let someone else finish raising him. Maybe he can still be fixed! YDI

Not saying you should have punched your son in the face, but if he wasn't listening to you, you should have hit him yourself before the girl got so sick of the verbal abuse she did it. He acts that way because he thinks he won't have to suffer any consequences because YOU don't discipline him. And everyone clapped because the girl was the only one who had the guts to do what they all wanted to do themselves. YSonDI.

No matter how bad the child was being a teenager should have never punched him, op said he was a young child which I'm guessing no older than 8. It was completely unnecessary

No, cause that's how you learn. If you do something that has an undesirable outcome, then maybe, you might think twice about doing it again?? Are you aware of the discipline concept? I'm sick of people holding bratty kids up on pedestals and blaming everyone else for their behaviour but themselves.

How about you enforce some discipline when he doesn't listen instead of just asking him to listen to you.

he probably won't do that again

So what is wrong with your parenting skills? Many things unanswered like how old is your son and what did you do when he continued to harass the girl behind you, etc? But it does sound like you have no control of your child and he has no respect for you as a parent. Is he going to have to learn all of life's lessons like this? How in the world did it get this way? I see bad things in the future.
