BREAKING NEWS! - LIV TYLER RUSHES TO AID OF ABUSED CHILD!
Posted on Wed Jun 17, 2009 09:27 PM PDT





WHOA!!!!!
X17 caught Liv Tyler today, intervening in an instance of apparent child abuse as a woman hit a boy on his chest repeatedly on the street in Los Feliz in LA.
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!"
Liv tried to comfort the crying boy and when she finally walked away to go back to her car, she told X17 photographers, "When I saw that, I couldn't take it. I had to do something." Our photog said she was visibly disturbed.
We've gotta give serious props to a person who would have the guts to stand up for a child who can't speak for himself or defend himself against an adult using unnecessary force. Liv cares ... and we love her for it!
It's reminiscent of 10,000 Maniacs' What's the Matter Here?

Liv Tyler Rushes To Rescue Abused Child




























Comments
i'm sure the kid deserved it..
Good on her!! Pity X17 didn't translate for her.. Oh that's right that would be helpful of you..
You go, Liv!! So what happened to the child?
Was child services called? Because you know it's going to happen again.
what a great heart!
that was awesome of Liv, God Bless her heart :)
my dad who now has dementia and is blind would stop many times when we were driving somewhere and he would see someone mistreat a child. He would get out of the car and tell whomever that they better stop or he would give them a thumping they wouldn't soon forget. That was over 30 years ago, long before child abuse was at the forefront of social issues. He raised 8 kids and we all love him.
aw, I love liv...she's simply beautiful and on top of that she has a good heart.
well gwen01 good for you but, ehh... nobody cares!!! go talk to your shrink about how much do you love your demential father...
annnnd about what we're supposed to comment here....
i think Liv as a mother, felt bad for the child and tried to help, it's a nice gesture of hers but nothing outta this world
He would get out of the car and tell whomever that they better stop or he would give them a thumping they wouldn't soon forget.

so he would respond to violence with more violence ? isn't this a quick way to creating a murder situation ? isn't it better letting authorities sort situations out than "getting involved" with total strangers. This is a very unwise thing to do for anyone. It changed nothing and created MORE problems.
it makes you guys look real pathetic that instead of doing something about what was happening, you just take a fucking picture of liv tyler doing it.. its really cool that she did that though but sorry i find it lame in a situation like that all you guys do is think of it as a great shot and then go on the website acting like you give a shit
if you start getting involved in other peoples problems...... YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE: BECAUSE THAT SAME PROBLEM, WILL TURN THEIR TARGET ON YOU. Simply put, it is none of your business. The best thing, and the only thing to do, is call the police and let them sort it out LEGALLY..... ..that is their job.....they are paid to do that...they are experts and have solutions......you are paid to be an actress Liv. NEVER EVER GET INVOLVED, EXCEPT IN AN INDIRECT AND PROFESSIONAL WAY. This is a well meaning, yet very, very bad idea.
Liv Tyler, YOU ROCK!!!! No entiendo my ass! Bitch knew exactly wtf was going on!!! Liv showed great courage and compassion for doing what she did! I just wish X17 would have said what happened afterwards! I hope the old, evil hag got arrested and stuffed into the back of a cop car!
Whoever said the kid deserved it deserves to get their asses kicked and see how they like it!
I love Liv Tyler so much more now for doing that and protecting a child. I would have and have done the same thing! Its just so much cooler that a celeb stopped and did it. I just wonder what happened to the little boy after that. I have a soft spot in my heart for children and i hate when i see someone abusing or mistreating their kids, its disgusting!
What ever happened to parents' rights? Maybe the kid deserved it. I don't SEE her beating him, but some kids need it. By the looks of the MAJORITY of kids I see, they are all under-beaten and are spoiled and inconsiderate of others....there are horrific parents who don't touch (or say ANYTHING) to their horrific children. There need to be more spankings, not beatings.
And Liv - mind your own business bitch.
the time is now! stop. that. shit. in its tracks.
I LOVE LIV!! LIV ROCKSSSSSS!!!!
I don't mean a kid should be BEATEN, but def kids are NOT DISCIPLINED physically anymore - so we have a generation or 2 of unruly young adults.
Liv will have something bad happen to her now....she will probably RUN OVER a kid crossing the street while watching everyone else.
If the lady was REALLY 'beating' the child - ok, but I think Liv's a little hormonal and will pay for her involvement.
ADVISE : if you see trouble, especially family trouble, DO NOT GET INVOLVED. They will end up blaming you. The fact is if Liv was not famous and she tried to stop the lady hitting the child, LIV COULD GET PUT IN JAIL FOR ASSAULT. The Police don't discriminate. Because Liv is a well known actress you assume she is right, but if she was normal, the Police would arrest both and later charge Liv. SERIOUSLY......if it is not your business and you don't like it... CALL THE POLICE AND BE ANONYMOUS. If Liv was a male, and then the father arrived and saw the male grappling with the grandmother, it could escalate to murder. This type of violence happens everyday in US inner cities and guns are plentiful thanks to NRA. Never get involved in a boy/girl fight or involved in the family violence of others. Let the Police handle it. ALWAYS. That is what they are paid to do. Liv is well meaning, but this is not the best way to solve the situation or help the child from further abuse.
9:54 - Shame on you.
But more troubling is what the hell is she wearing and what is wrong with her torso.
Liberals turnout to be either criminals or hollywood freaks that were never spanked.
And neocons get cornholed within an inch of there lives and go on to commit crimes against humanity!
their
what an animal that Granny is. let's hope someone from Child SErvices sees this post and makes things right. This Granny's behavior is criminal, and she should be forced to pay for her crimes in a jail cell. let's see how she feels when nobody comes to her aid when she cries. Divine Justice, where are U?
She needs to rush to a store and take those damn short back. Damn! What the hell is she wearing!
If this lady really hit her kid in the chest as reported, then this lady deserves to have these kids taken away. I'm all for spanking & all, but within reason. My parents never slapped or punched....it was always - Bend Over. And if the kid needed to be disciplined, then it should have been on the A$$. And not a BEAT DOWN either! Just something to make him think twice about acting up again.
Have fun, find your love for free..==.milli onaire chats.c/o/m== ,where is so many hot girls and sincere man are looking for their romance there. Some celebs have accounts there, and they are very attractive there.
95% of criminals are Liberals !!!!!

Who wants to bet those shorts are STELLA MACCATNEEY.....
Trying to stop child abuse is futile. This was outside where people could see. Can you imagine the abuse that goes on behind closed doors? It's rampant. Children are screamed at, neglected, raped and beaten regularly in homes everywhere. Animals also pay a terrible price in homes especially with children where they are mistreated horribly.
See liberals shouldn't breed.
And wtf is wrong with her and reese w. bodies
It's OK their illegals, and Obama will legalize them so you can then take care of all their bills with your benevolent taxdolllars.
****BEAT THAT LITTLE WETBACKS ASS!****
Thank you Liv...you give me the guts to do the same thing if I ever see that. That really hits home when you have kids of your own...
SHE NEEDS TO MIND HER OWN BUSINESS! NO ONE TELLS HER, HOW TO CARE FOR HER KID! SHE CANT TELL SOMEONE WHAT TO DO WITH A KID THAT IS NOT HERS,SHE DOESN'T FEED NOR PROVIDES FOR. AFTER THIS SHE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.HER INTENTIONS ARE GOOD, BUT HER WAY OF COMING ABOUT IT ARE NOT!
Liv has a pure heart. Protecting a child is never futile!
Good for her!Liv did the right thing. Children are abused everyday and if this picture brings awareness about the issue than I am glad. This woman will at least think twice before hitting the child in public. She is also being photographed and perhaps this will bring her embrassment for hitting her child to the point that a person would stop their car to come to the child's aide.
Kick the mexicans out, IMO.
They're probably illegal anyway...maybe she should also learn to speak english if she wants to break into the country, produce undue amounts of spawn and have them rape our jobs and resources. Not trying to be an idiotic American here...but seriously. Go Liv.
Not trying? Not effort required 8:53. Idiotic comes naturally to you.
Man all the negativity on this post is disgusting. Before you start spouting off about "wetbacks," kids deserving to get beaten, or criminals being liberal, maybe you should sit down and get informed. Or maybe try walking a day in someone else's shoes instead of your own apparently priviliged ones.
Liv did a good deed period. God isn't going to strike her down because she put her nose in "someone else's business." No child deserves to get beaten, especially one who is young enough to be a stroller. Sure calling the police would be better. But until you've been in a situation where you've prayed that someone would stand up for you and no one did, do not judge someone for actually deciding to take a stand. There are tons of children who pray for that everyday.
Agreed. I would consider idiotic an understatement though.
I wonder what happened after she called the cops; and it wasnt a boy, it was a little girl and there was no physical abuse. I hope this lady got punished.
Yeah, Lets not get envolved, That way he can grow up, And beat his child and so on and so on, My grandbaby was abused by her mothers boyfriend some included beating and some not, I wish someone would have stood up. The fact is these are kids not strong enough to protect there selfs, So I kinda agree that she needs A good old west Texas ass whup'n, So there family members don't have to rock A terrified baby back to sleep after the nightmares...
God, these posts are disgusting! The child looked no older that 2years old. You don't hit anyone on the chest no matter the age. Spankings on the butt, ok. But not hitting like that. Good for you Liv and God bless you for standing up like that.
If only we would get this angry about the millions of children getting brutally DISMEMBERED each day by ABORTION, the world would be a much better place. Those babies truly can't defend themselves.
Yet liberals still don't understand why caleeeeforina is bankrupt.
Obama will put the last nail on the country's coffin.
I agree, abortion is horrific. However, I think we should make sure that the children that are already here can be fed and cared for properly (i.e. not abused), before we start worrying about forcing women to have children when they do not have the means to do so. One thing at a time.
I'm a liberal and I completely understand why "Caleeeeefornia" is bankrupt. Stop stereotyping.
By the way, isn't Arnold Republican? Yea. He is.
You would think that their culture doesn't give a **** about child abuse, as it's a very common thing. In the US, not as much tolerance. Good for her as far as calling out this woman, but she really should have called the police and not get too involved. You never know these days if someone has a knife or gun of them. Be more careful next time, Liv!

An "apparent" Child abuse?The pictures don't show an abuse,and worse,these pics don't prove anything.Why didn't she call the police or child services and stayed there until someone arrive,arrest the woman(if possible) and take the baby to a safe place?No.She simply yelled at the old woman,conforted the boy(futile,because they boy was crying),went back to her car and left.And the woman went away with the baby too.Great help she did.
Sorry to say,but she didn't help him and i doubt she will she this baby and that woman again.She yelled at the woman,who is probably illegal and may not speak english and then left.Only that.
She tried to fix a bad situation,but made a lot of mistakes.It's good that she tried to help the baby,her intention was good,but it was futile,in the end.
Oh,i forgot,and almost caused an accident.She tried to do the right thing,but wasn't prepared to do it.
what happens to that kid when he goes home? more beatings. it is best to leave it alone.
Good for Tyler. Of course the neocons are child abusers, because they are nasty, angry little assholes! And it was a cocksucking conservative Bush that fucked our economy and our nation up. He spent 8 years running into the ground! He should be tried for his crimes!

Good for Liv! In a society when most people turn their backs when they witness incidents like these, it's refreshing to see someone step up and say something. As for the woman who doesn't "entiendo," learn the language of our country or go back to your motherland.
sure good for liv, pff any normal being would do the same! geez she actually left the kid and didnt call the cops, whatever..
Mike Myers says he's all for spanking, he likes getting spanked before sex. LOL
Yeah, the other day, he said he likes playing with other people before sex, he said, but lately he's been playing with himself. LOL.
You're a bunch of bitchy bitches. You don't know if Liv called the cops or not. The paps only showed the part with Liv stopping the baby from being hurt. So stfu.
U ROCK!LIV!I LUV U!<3
No child deserves to be hit,let alone on the chest. I just hope that the parents of that child see the pictures, read the article and take care of the situation.
The funny thing is, where is her son Milo? The lady she stopped was probably a grandma or nanny of the child. Just like the staff that raise her child for her while she is out "saving the world" gimme a break.
gwen01!!!! i love your dad!! you guy's are morons. you all suck! maybe you didnt have dads or they abused you. you seem a little too upset she loves her dad. and violents begets violents. hell yes! stick up for the kids pusswads!!!
oh just not done yet!! jealous liv can afford a babysitter! no one has the right to abuse a child! not a grandparent!! or a nanny!! or a parent!! gwens dad sounds like a hero!!!

To those who said its none of her business. well the older woman was hitting the kid at the chest - was she suppose to leave it, right until we hear kid on street dead- hit by older woman, no one stopped all looked waiting for cops to arrive.
@Gwen, it only means your father was a caring man. and some child abusers really do need a shock at times and someone their equal size to call off their act.
liv keep on doing right and follow your heart.
I hope she called the police...because what good would it have done....if she didn't....
Liv has got a great soul, she 's an awsome persone. Keep doing it
I love Liv more than anything in the world. She's not just so beautiful, she has the most pure heart of all.
I can't agree more with June 18, 8:53. Edward Abbey, radical environmentalist icon of the 70's and 80's said it best regarding the calamity of Mexican immigration...( Our Lady of Prepetual Pregnancy.....). Why do you think gang violence and low scholastic achievement is so rife among them? Raise children, don't breed them! .......and by the way, three cheers for Liv!
i love Liv! You go girl!!!
I was already a Liv Tyler fan, but now now I like her even more!
I was already a Liv Tyler fan, but now now I like her even more! Parents should be allowed to discipline their children, however, smacking and screaming at a crying baby will not make it stop crying!! Take that action indoors if you don't want someone butting in.
After listening to a man in a restaurant brag to another man about hitting his son with a belt "for 20 minutes, man," I waited until he went to the parking lot, wrote down his license plate number and reported him. I agree with Liv; you can't just look the other way, certainly not when a child's safety is at stake.
to the anonymous posting: "NO CHILD DESERVES TO BE HIT!!! I hope you don't have kids!
to the anonymous posting: "NO CHILD DESERVES TO BE HIT!!! I hope you don't have kids!
If the woman who was hitting the child lives in LA why can't she speak english??
Liv had good intentions, and followed her heart and what she thought was right, and was probably too shocked she didn't really know what to do at the moment,- next time she will ;)
Yeah!you are totally right!!what other movie star would bother to stop and really get involved?it just shows she is real down to earth person and cares for other people´s children.not like other stars who just care about their egos.Well done Liv!! I think you are really cool!!Luv Ya!
"We've gotta give serious props to a person who would have the guts to stand up for a child who can't speak for himself or defend himself against an adult using unnecessary force. Liv cares... and we love her for it!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was really great of her to do something like that ... but I want to look at the big picture ... what about the thousands of innocent children who are killed EVERY DAY by the biggest child abuse in our nation - abortion? I believe it would be truly remarkable if someone as influential as Liv Tyler stood up for those children, who have no one to stand up for them.
She very well could of been endangering both the woman and that child in that fiasco she created. It's not like her word is anything but hearsay anyway, and her public mention just draws attention to her slutty movies, making her a poor character reference, in general and frankly the ol' lady could of followed "Liv Tyler"'s boisterous mention up with a spray of mace a douse of milk and a call to her own attorney and authorities, if she was able, I would of. At most Liv looks healthy after giving birth and all, and that's good, but since she dosen't get out often I suppose she let a little too loose, and it looks like she ought to have her mind screened for her actions. Liv Tyler dosen't appear to me as anything other than euphoric and bullyish in those photos. There is nothing great about what she did, sounds like slander, and unless she has evidence to back it up, she should be sued, and possibly inprisioned.
What is that in her pocket? A skin flap?
