Ad populum appeal to force

The scare tactic.

I always see people use this tactic either to a person no matter how old or young the person is.

For example, there is one weekend when i went to Mid Valley Shopping Mall.
A mother and a young boy probally the age of 3 or 4 years old.
There were at the kids department. The toddler began to run up and down all around the places. When suddenly the Mother grab him and tell that "If you dont stay still, I will leave you and ask the security officer to take you away(pointing at the security guard)"

this is a way of people to do scare tactic to get what they want.
in this case to get the boy to stay calm, she use scare tactic in order to do so.
The boy scared that the mother leave and the security officer take him, so that he agrees to stay calm.
