Reply To: Disturbing thing I saw

TO CLARIFY

The baby was not in any seat just lying across the width of the top small section of the shopping cart (now that I think of it its probably not so safe either.)

She put stuff on the baby (directly on the baby not next to) who happened to be awake because she had no room in the overflowing cart that she had already filled up. I dont think the baby was distressed by the weight of it I really have no way of knowing that but I think its degrading to a human and specifically your own child to treat them this way. I expect more from any mother but definitely a Jewish mother should respect the dignity of her child. Maybe some people don’t look at babies as humans and therefore don’t take their dignity into consideration.
