Man Slaps Child in Walmart, Charged With Felony Cruelty

Man slaps child

A Walmart shopper allegedly slapped a 2-year-old girl several times because she wouldn't stop crying.

The incident happened Monday at the Walmart store near Atlanta, Georgia. A little girl and her mother were shopping when she began crying.

Roger Stephens, 61, walked up to the mother and allegedly said, "If you don't shut the baby up, I will shut her up for you."

A few moments later, Stephens allegedly grabbed the girl and slapped her four times, then told the mother, "See, I told you I would shut her up."

Stephens was stopped by another shopper and security was called. He was arrested and charged with cruelty with children in the first degree, which is a felony. He is being held without bond.
