Would you hit someone else’s child?

or their parent? Keeping this hypothetical..

if your child was being bullied and the school were not doing anything about it, the parents couldn’t care less, and a child was physically hurting your child. At what point would you intervene be it physically verbally or otherwise?

On the same note, would you hit a teacher if you had evidence they were bullying or harming your child?

has this ever been socially acceptable in your eyes? Past or present? I’ll explain why I’m asking once I’ve read your thoughts.

No I would not hit another child or a teacher. But I would take it the o the police if I felt the school were not investigating it properly or my child was really unsafe.

Is this off the other post about their child being cornered and shouted at by two parents at a party? Were you one of the shouty ones?

Vague booking. It’s tiresome.

I’d probably rather hit someone else’s kid than mine 😂

but no, I wouldn’t hit anyone if the situations you’ve described.

No I wouldn’t, but then I wouldn’t hit my own.
