Tiblisi, Georgia:

Woman stabs a three year old child in the face as he walked with his parents.

Both parents are so shocked they take what seems like an eternity to act on the threat.

Moving everyone away safely is the most important thing here.

The child, had deep wounds in the nose and right cheek. He received stitches and has since been discharge from hospital.

The woman, described as a 51-year-old, unemployed artist escaped from the scene, but was detained by the police the following morning.

She faces seven to ten years in prison.

Wanting instant vengeance & retribution is a natural feeling to have.

Here, both parents, when they realise what’s happened, emotionally move towards the woman & the knife on instinct to carry that retribution.

Think: What’s important right now?

Answer: Children’s Safety.

There will be many who will say, “I’d take that knife off her and cut her into small pieces myself...”

I get it, it’s a natural feeling, especially as a child is the target.

Can you really disarm her, and control this situation while also protecting your children?
