If this story is true, and I would have my doubts sine it came from an American media source, the old dude needs to go to jail.

Drawing down on him? Nope.

Busting him across the chops if it were my kid he slapped?? OHHH YEAH!!

Sometimes the best way to keep a kid from having a tantrum is to ignore them. Of course, I was never very good at that tecnique. When mine were little, my method of dealing with a tantrum was to grab the kids ear and pull. I learned that trick watching the wild horse races as a kid. The cowboys would bite down on the horses ear to settle it down while his partner saddled up. I didn't bite my kids ear but a good solid grip apllied with pressure inversly to the volume of the screams always worked and never raised any eyebrows from passers by.

However, it is the parents job to do this. Not some stranger.
