Liv Tyler Stops Woman From Yelling, Hitting Child
Liv Tyler was driving down the street in L.A.when she saw a woman who was hitting a child in the chest repeatedly causing Liv to literally slam on her breaks and jump out of the car. Photographers witnessed Tyler coming to the aid of the child being hit and trying to intervene. As per X17 Photographers:
“Tyler was driving alone and saw the incident taking place on the sidewalk – someone who appeared to be a grandmother or caretaker for a boy was screaming at him and hitting him on the chest as he sat in his stroller wailing.”
“Liv almost caused an accident and she hit the brakes, did a U-turn, and pulled over on the side of the road to reprimand the woman. Unfortunately the woman didn’t speak English and kept telling Tyler “No entiendo. (I don’t understand.)” Liv was telling her “You can’t do that! I’m going to call the police; I’m going to call Child Services!”
This is a tough one. Do you stop or do you keep driving?? Have you ever been in a situation like this – if so what did you do??

I think she did the right thing. People forget that when
they are in situations like these, with a distressed child,
that it is NOT okay to treat them like bad puppies.
If the child doesn’t know what you are punishing them for,
as in they are too young or otherwise mentally incapable,
you shouldn’t be yelling or swatting them. I am completely
against physical abuse, in any way shape or form. Especially
if the child isn’t your son or daughter.
I was recently living with a distant relative of my husband’s,
and while there (living in this woman’s over crowded with junk
home) I had a hard time keeping my 2 year old out of her stuff.
At one point she decided it was okay for her to slap him if
she thought it was necessary. Obviously this isn’t okay, so
we got into an argument about this fact, and she ended up
hitting MY face when I used a curse word, because she tought it
fit to “hit my filthy mouth.”
