This isn't moral relativism. If I kiss my wife that is one thing. If some other guy does it, it is assault (double assault, because after he does it, I will assault HIM). When a friend punches your arm in jest, that is one thing, it is almost welcome, but not so the neighborhood bully. Sorry, I have to disagree with you on this point.

of course the devil is always in the details. When the Cox's went to the police they accused another boy, Jeff G of giving their son a titty twister. David's name never appeared in their record, even after David told the police that he did it, the COx family insisted that Jeff G did it. In fact they were filing a false report on a boy that they hated because he smokes dope with their daughter. It had absolutely nothing to do with David. He was just caught in the middle. What he saw was a kid that we knew, we sold him his first moto cross bike, David played ping pong with him at Youth Group and generally considered him an acquaintance that he was on a first name basis with; when the kid said "yo mama" David just saw a younger kid that was trying to in with the big guys and treated him the way they treat each other. Why the boy thought he could go to the police and tell them that an entirely different boy, Jeff G had done it, I can't imagine. But from that point on the family had to continue to claim injury or be shown as lying witnesses against this other boy, whom they have filed dozens of eventually unfounded complaints against. If you don't' understand that, I will be happy to send you the police report. The boy then lied and claimed that David was a complete stranger, and we just found the notes on the probation officers papers where Paul Cox told them that I was "stoned and always stick up for my son, they continue to threaten and harass". I haven't been stoned in 35 years and we have had zero contact with them since that incident. Have you ever read the dichotomy of the Salem Witch Trials? Have you ever seen a child lie? on a witness stand? without blinking an eye? it is a rather stunning performance.
