Don't Rip People Off On The Net

[Will Wood]

Shartley, I can completely understand your initial worry and concern, and wanting to follow up on it.

However, you are under the assumption that your child is being assaulted. There is too many unknown facts that could be happening. Sometimes the best action IS to ask questions, then call the cops later.

It could have been a playful act, we're kids, we fool around pretty rough.

Even on your own lawn, how do you know who started it. For example, your child could have punched the person. In retalition, they could have been thrown against a car, which is not too phyiscally damaging. It's more of an action to show that the other person is in power, and they could be getting a verbal warning to stop it "or else"

etc etc...

There's always the 'better safe than sorry' way... but you seem to be reacting too soon without thinking yourself. Again, maybe that is a good thing because of your concern.. but I think that a small cool down period is needed to think the situation over before going to the cops. I could be wrong, but I'm under the assumption your fingers were itching to call.



For example, a while ago I accidently stabbed someone. There was quite a few people around, who saw the action of me thrusting a knive into another guys leg. Anyone of them could have called the cops, and he could have ran away (Or tried) and done the same. However, everyone was cool about it. People approached me, took no immediate action against me, and asked WTF I was doing. I stated it was a pure accident, I was playing around with my knife (I learned they are not toys the hard way) and he decided to walk right in my way from nowear. I was at fault as much as he was. He said he saw me fooling around with it, and I was... well fooling around with it. I did check to make sure no one was around when I started, but.. that doesn't make my action ok.

The cops could have been involved, assault could have been charged, and it could have been a hell of a day. Instead, we worked things out between the two of us.



Things are not what they seem. There's ways to solve things without crying to someone else to solve your problem. It may be their job, but a cop doesn't need to come solve every problem you face. I only think they need to be involved when one side of the party is either completely insecure of themselves, or a dishonest person.. in which case they should be involved.

No offense but kids need to be told every once in awhile. There is no such thing as a good spanking or what have you any more. This is why kids are such punks (as seen in this story). You gotta draw the line somewhere. If this was my kid his life would end right there, let me tell ya. People need to learn that they shouldn't screw with someone or something that they can't get themselves out of, or handle the right way. The kid asked for it. Parents stick up for their children WAY too much nowadays. Good for this cop.

That guy deserved a whoopin'. If his father stepped in, he shoulda got a whoopin' too for being a retard.

"My son did what? Go kick his butt, just don't break anything." And after that, the dad should throw him out of the house - after he whooped him too.

That'll wise him up some.

I only read your first post. No I wouldn't kill my son. His life as he knows it would end and he would be severely punished. But there is no substitute for teaching a lesson like a good old fashioned beating.

Pretty much what I'm trying to say. No charges needed to be pressed - he made actions, he should have known the consequences and been able to handle them.

Lay off shartley! Some of you guys are complaining about stuff he already covered

[NGp8ball]

lol! thats a great story. sucks to be that kid tho and lose all that stuff

[SGTKennedy]

maybe im the only one that endorses the potential beat down. little bastard had it coming. a good whoopin would have put the fear of god in him.
people are to prissy. dont be you kids friend, thats not your job, you are there to teach them lessons. that would have been a lesson he would have never forgotten.

im right there with ya man

Shartley, I never said I was right

In fact, I knew there was much flaw in what I said. But I was just stating how I viewed things at the moment. I didn't really read all of your posts, I just was bored, read a bit of it, and decided to type up that before my next class.

Don't take me seriously. You put things into perspective.

Spoken like a non-parent. Guys when you have kids, you will understand. No matter what your child does, you will protect them to the best of your ability.

If your child needs a beating, fine you administer it yourself. NO ONE IS GOING TO TOUCH MY CHILD WHILE I DRAW A BREATH!!!!!

I did like how the father handled it though by taking $$$$ from his son which is all he seemed to care about.

I will say that if I saw a group of teens/young adults hassle my child in front of my house, there would be Louiseville Slugger Massages for all of them. I would have whaled my son later after learning what he did, but those kids did it the wrong way. THey should have gone right up to the house and spoken to the parents first! Especially knowing he was a cop, those guys could have been facing the wrong end og a Glock or Sig Sauer!!!!

I agree! I wasn't serious - just being ornery!
