Public Transit and CPS

So, I rode the public bus for the first time in Australia. As I sat at the bus stop waiting, a woman pulled up in a dingy minivan and came to a screeching halt in the bus lane. Her passenger door flies open, liquid drips out of the open door, and...SMACK! She slapped the crap out of the back of this little girl's head (she couldn’t have been older than four and was sitting in the front passenger seat)! Apparently the child had spilled a cup of liquid on the floor of the van. The woman then proceeds to shout, “you stupid f*cking b*tch! I knew you were gonna do that! Get the f*ck out of here!” (Shoves girl in the back as she is climbing between seats to the rear of the van.) “You stupid little c*nt! Look at this sh*t! You’re such a B*TCH, you know that?” A passenger who was waiting at the bus stop with me jumps in, closes the door, and the driver looks forward and says more to herself than anybody, “little f*cking b*tch!” and puts the pedal to the floor.

Did I really just see that? The girl looked unfazed by the whole thing (no tears, no reaction at all, really). I'm sad for the world right now but mostly for that little girl :(
