If its a child then what about an adult? What did the prophets (PBUT) of our great history speak about when it came to correction in peace?

Great answers, except those you can see that are still talking to the left as they read things. Wonder what is bothering them so much to have such disturbances in their life? Peace :)

I teach Children's church, so I have to, children need to learn to respect adults as authority figures. As far as adults go, I tread lightly, you need to be able to speak the truth in love, and sometimes, that's hard to do.

I'm an older American. When I was a child, before feminism destroyed my parents culture, there were countless women in every neighborhood who all knew each other and who kept a wary eye on each other's children. Back in those days, every parent felt empowered to correct the behavior of any child who needed guidance.
In modern times, there are very few parents available in most neighborhoods because it now requires two full time jobs to support a family. These days, most neighbors don't even know each other's names and all people outside your own family are assumed to be a threat. Nobody dares to correct a stranger's child, for fear of dangerous repercussions or lawsuit. Adults who criticize another adult's behavior will most likely be shunned, beaten up, or shot dead. A wise person now keeps his eyes closed, his ears plugged and, most importantly, his mouth shut.
Thanks to the greedy women of my generation, who couldn't be satisfied with what their husbands were able to provide, excess consumer wealth fueled a generation of runaway inflation and now both parents must work full time just to scrape by. What makes it especially bitter is that the result of feminism has turned out to be exactly as the economists, male chauvinist pigs, and other curmudgeons of that era predicted. Everyone, especially women and children, is now much worse off.

If the wrong is on my child definitely yes because that is my RIGHTS as a parent to protect my child. If in the playground than that naughty child parents should be the one to correct. My reason; because the laws they make now days are so screwed up to protect the dog nasty's I would be the one in trouble. That child's parent would probably accuse me of harrassing her child! Or even worst accusations! This is one screwed up government we have here!!!

I would certainly correct a child doing wrong regardless of who their parents may be. As far as adults, I would have to make that decision based on the situation.

Honestly it depends on the wrongdoing and the person. Case in point, my nephew's half-brother was being an obnoxious brat at my father's memorial service. Someone, not understanding the situation, asked/told me to go discipline him. I told her I couldn't, and that his mother was right down the aisle from me.
I knew the boy wouldn't listen to me, and that as stressed as I was I probably would've blistered him good.
Now same kid later that day went through my neighbors' mailboxes. I quickly told him to get his hand out of there, and then called for his mother to come get him. I felt there was a need to say something, as he wasn't just being annoying, he was invading privacy.

If it's a child, I usually say something, not too strong because that can opposed it's parents .
To adult, I do correct things in a forum, or if they are under my control like my employees or underlinks I say it straight to the person.

Usually I go to the parents. Train a child in the way he should go and when he gets older he will not stray from it.
