This really is a situation as to whether we are going to condone corporal punishment of citizens for stupidity and bad judgment.
If we as a society are against corporal punishment of children as a barbaric way to teach a young and impressionable mind that is capable of learning a lesson through it, well it sure is not going to work out any better on an old and close mind not capable of learning a lesson through it.

Now, I will soften up and say that your suggestions are actually far better advice than mine, LOL! Call the FD, call Social Services, hang around and make sure the baby is ok until someone shows up. No need for a violent encounter in the OP circumstance. Also, no need to accost or arrest the woman once the baby is safe. Very good suggestions!

she did strike out, that's what we're discussing. they took her baby and she resisted that idea with physical force.
then they zapped her.

I used to work in a casino and security driving around would find babies left in cars all the time. Well not all the time but plenty of times. Some really messed up people who would leave their kids in a car to gamble or tan. I remember one lady screaming as they drug her off how it wasn't her fault cause there should have been a daycare at the casino. Always somebody else's fault.
I also remember being left in the car many times by my folks back in the day but the difference was I was old enough go roll down the window or get out if need be. A baby just sits there and cooks away. Depending on the DHS in Florida she will most likely get her kid back unless she doesn't want it to begin with.
And if she wouldn't have fought with the po po she wouldn't have gotten zapped either. Plain and simple.
