I had a situation when my son was 2. We were at a park and he was playing with his ball and this kid that looked to be about 10 walked up and took it away from him. I walked over and politely told him to give it back. He gave it back but within a few minutes he was back, took the ball from my son again, smiled at me and then took off. I followed him to his mother and politely told her that if he did not give the ball back and stay the hell away from my son, that I was gonna beat her @ss for raising such a brat. No more trouble from any of them. So that’s my answer, follow the kid home and taze the parent. ;)
Let me also add that the only reason I got involved was the obvious age difference. Otherwise, I’ve always taught my kids if someone hits you, you pick it up a notch and kick some teeth out. Always give it back worse, so they won’t forget. And if you know you’re about to fight, don’t be a putz and stand there and take the first punch. Lay em out and get it over with.
Would have done the same. I imagine the kid received or should have received an A$$ whooping for embarassing her. Well in my case with the school, I had to get a child advocate at the cost of a grand and have a sit down with the school staff, teachers, a member of the school board and my advocate. The school board sided with us. They wanted to toss my kid out of school in 8th grade with no formal notificcation with only 5 weeks left until graduation. We told them to stick it and brought him to school. They went as far as to not let him in class and made him sit in a room all day for two or three days. Thats when I hired the advocate and put a stop to it. See they didn’t like my son complaining or getting mad about getting teased constantly. When he went after those that bothered him thats when the school tried to toss him. Well we won the day and he finished 8th grade there. He then went on to play four yrs of HS football and graduated with honors. The HS staff were so impressed with him that he was asked to mentor incoming freshman about bullying in HS and how to handle it.
