Topic: was I in the wrong | |
---|---|
Thats a bit ridiculous the proper thing to do would have been 1st protect the child , get them to a safe place and then call the authorities . Violence begets violence so you just kept the cycle going .... ? I hear what you are saying but hey, sometimes...................... |

was at walmart walking by some guy who outta no where just back hands his son,at least I think it was his son,the idiot hit em so hard made him fall down and back a few steps. so I broke the guys nose,and was sure to let him know why. ok just wondering what u all thought,I dont think I was in the wrong at all but my thoughts. I am not one for child abuse,am very much against it You were just as wrong as him IMO. Think about how the child must have felt when you hurt his father (or who you assume was his father). |

yes i could have got a ride to jail,but I didnt and I told the cops that came every thing
|

|
|
i dont believe you broke the guys nose
|

I agree with you stepping in but a broken nose... specially in front of the kid.... maybe not such a good idea. But so many would have just let it go and not do anything, so something is better than nothing.

No details of any arrest made? My hats off to ya orange! If the cop'ers nabbed ya for it, opt/demand for a jury trial. You'll get at least one holdout out of twelve, for sure.

Good for you
![]() ![]() ![]() Number one: Hitting a child is irreprehensible. If you as a parent are unable to outwit a child...your an idiot...PERIOD. Number two: Your at Wal-Mart...anything goes... |

That's why we have Law Enforcement.I also have strong feelings on this subject myself but the law is the law black & white.U could of spent up to 24 hrs in jail or a wkd & charged w/ A&B plus fines.(jmo)

I believe in discipline but not back handing...thats just too far...you werent in the wrong in my opinion

gypsy I dont need no anger managment,and that is the first time I have ever done any thing like that,I am not for child abuse of any kind so I see it as he deserved it,but yes maybe I should have walked on by,but I didnt I'm glad you didn't walk by and by the posts I see most agree with the fact that some action was taken. |

yes I may have took the law into my own hands there,but sometimes the law dont do what they need to.
so I dont feel I was in the wrong,the kid didnt see what happened. |

I would've done the same thing.. but you could've been pressed with assault charges or battery.. and those aren't easy to defend against if you weren't hit first... =/

Forget the trouble you could have gotten into ... even though the child didn't see violence is NEVER ok ! Considering the authorities had already been called you should have let them handle it ... it's not your job to dish out punishment as you see fit . I don't think your actions were any better than the abusers .
Just my opinion though . |

He had it coming...Now he knows how it feels and I hope it hurt like hell
Never lay a hand on a child...I will gladly say I am proud of you... |
