re: Angry father slaps stepdaughter's 12-year-old bully

In this case, this kid's parents will no doubt figure their kid did nothing wrong. Screw them. Kid got what he deserved, maybe not enough.

I couldn't agree more!!! You're story has warmed my heart on this rainy Wednesday morning. Good for your Father and your Brother. That's the way these issues should be handled nowadays but many parents no longer see the need in actually parenting their heathens!

I was lucky to have an older brother who could kick arse with the best. Got bullied when I was about 7 or 8 walking home from school

---

I’ve got two grandsons (10,5) that ride the bus together. Well one day in September a nine year old was twisting my 5yr olds arm ( the bus driver didn’t notice) his brother seen him crying , takes the nine year old and twists his arm. By this time the bus driver sees what my older grandson is doing and screams to let him go but he didn’t. When I asked I asked him why didn’t you let go when the bus driver told you too? He said my brother was crying and this kid wasn’t yet. Well the bus driver tells my ex son in law that he was reporting it to the school. Nothing ever came of it but if he would have got suspended... Paw Paw would have took off work and brought anywhere he wanted to go

Some of you folks were never open hand slapped in the face by your momma and it shows.

Ha. Kids are hilarious in their innocence, before they get ruined by the whole "walking on eggshells" to avoid this shitty PC and litigation world that has been created by pansies and greedy lawyers.

Sadly we are moving away further, and further from the way things should be handled. Only "talking" to kids that dont comprehend "why" something is wrong is just naive.

My dad had the perfect trifeca imo. Would whip my arse, send me to my room balling as he calmed down, came in sat down to explain why he had to, making me feel like shite for disappointing him, and then grounded me in whatever way he felt was needed. shite worked so good, that when he retired his main black belt from my childhood, I took it, and now I have it framed hanging in my office. With a name plate with "Daddy Jr" on it as that's what he nicknamed it when he was giving us the heads up that we were pushing it. "Daddy Jr is watching you now son". Ha...memories.

Sux this guy has to go thru all this. Hope it gets dropped, and nothing worse happens to the daughter either. Wish there were more "kool kids" that were brought up to take this type of behavior on to stop it. If parents who had kids that are the popular kids would teach their kids to look out for this that could help. Worse is a boy doing this to a girl. This boy needs a lesson, and his parents too. Cant understand how his parents could justify having charges pressed against this guy knowing what the boy was doing. I was brought up being told that a kid represents his parents, and therefore his fathers name. Maybe it'll help if we went back to that mindset. His parents should be ashamed

Just report it to the school and let them handle

They wont. My daughter was being bullied/stalked ect and it took me filing a police report before they did anything.

This story and thread is a prime example of the biggest problem with kids nowadays. It’s not that kids are different than they use to be. Kids are kids and will always be the same no matter what generation. The problem isn’t with the kids, it’s with the adults. Namely adults not teaching kids discipline and how to be respectful. Adults wanting to be their kids friend instead of their parent. Adults more concerned with making sure their kids have some artificial sense of self confidence instead of teaching them there are consequences for all their actions. We make sure they learn there are good consequences for their good actions. But we shelter them from ever having to experience bad consequences for their bad actions.

We as a society are failing our children as a whole. It’s not the kids fault for how they’re turning out. It’s our fault as adults.

That is one weak arse felony

It was more getting retribution for his step-daughter than defending her. I'm not sure he should be charged, but he wasn't defending her from anything when he slapped the kid.

I hear what you are saying, but without knowing the whole story it is hard to say what I would have done.

Best case, I would have gone to the bully's house and talked to the dad (father figure). Depending on how that goes it could have been the end of it. However, if it happened again I'm pretty sure I would whip the dad's arse (preferably in front of his shite-stain son). Third time, it would be pretty hard to not slap that little a-hole.

However, when your daughter looks up at you with the tear filled eyes and then you see that little shite on the sidewalk...I don't know man, I see red just thinking about someone hurting my little angels.
