Husband with anger problems bit his child and left a mark.

Unreasonable?

You need to ask? Of course it bloody is!

It concerns me you even need to ask if that's unreasonable to be honest.

I would hope 'husband' is now living well away from child.

Massive safeguarding issue, see your GP.

Unreasonable? It's assault. And if it were my child and I saw him do it, he'd be lucky to escape the situation without being assaulted himself.

No, sounds perfectly reasonable Hmm

Why do you actually have to ask?!

It's assault, and probably child abuse. If anyone else sees the bite, he'll have some explaining to do.

Take the child to the GP, make sure he's alright. Report the incident so that your judgement is not questioned too. If he is non-resident, stop his access to the children (lawfully!). If he is resident, make him not resident.

Once violence reaches this level, it's too late to save it.

It's not unreasonable, it's illegal. Do you know this child? Help them ASAP and get them away from this man.

Safeguarding issue.its physical abuse
Unpredictable,violent and volatile behaviour to child is wholly unacceptable
Are you and the child safe?does he have access to other children
What are you going to do?
Has child been been checked/treated?
There is physical and psychological impact to consider

He bit his child in anger? Or he has anger issues and bit his child in a poor attempt to stop the child biting other people?

I doubt it Buggers

I'm pretty sure OP has said her dh has been violent before. I could be mixing her up with another poster but I don't think so

If you need to even ask then yes, you're right you are in dire need of help. That isn't in the realms of unreasonableness - it's down right abuse.

Unless u are a family of dogs that's child abuse in my mind!

The child needs to see the GP tomorrow and you need to tell the truth about what happened. You then need to think how to keep your child/ren safe in the future, whether that's with help through women's aid, social services etc.

The child was bit angrily because the father was bit? I need to know if this is the same as assault?

Ah look at you, already trying to find excuses for him biting a child and leaving a mark. Bloody disgraceful.

It has no relevance what the child did if the grown man hurt the child in anger it is assault and you need to make sure the child is as far away from his as possible!!
