Something that angered me

Yesterday I had to run to the mall for a second. I saw this beautiful little boy being well a little boy. Of couse it was the mall and there was lots to see. He wasn't being bad..just poking along. Maybe his parents were having a bad day...maybe there is something I don't know. But my blood began to boil when the mother yelled at the little boy and told him "If he didn't behave God was going to punish him". How sick and twisted are you to tell a child that? I won't get into a huge religon conversation. I do believe in god although I don't practice or anything. I just follow my own guidelines. I don't even care if you don't believe in God as its your choice. But wow her statement blew me away. With all the bad things that happen in this world (especially on NN just this week alone)why would you want a child to feel guilt like that?
Now I am just rambling but this really bothered me.
