Roger Stephens, 61, accused of slapping a crying 2-year-old toddler in a Suburban Atlanta Wal-Mart on Monday will remain in jail at least until next week.  Mr. “if you don’t shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you” has been ordered held in the Gwinnett County jail until his next court appearance on Sept. 8.

Finally some good news to report. No bail for the bully!

Could it be a bit of a red flag?  Is it possible that Mr. “See, I told you I would shut her up” is in need of a lengthy lockup?

Roger Stephens, 61, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree cruelty to children after allegedly slapping a crying two-year-old girl in a suburban Atlanta Walmart.

Are you kidding me?

CNN is reporting, that the child’s mother told police that her daughter was crying as they walked down one of the aisles. A stranger, later identified as Stephens allegedly told her,  “If you don’t shut the baby up, I will shut her up for you.”

Making good on his promise, just a few minutes he held the girl and smacked her across her face four or five times.

I don’t even know what to type next. A total stranger repeatedly smacks a two-year-old girl for crying? What?

He has been charged with first-degree cruelty to children; someone please tell me this is a felony.
