Would you call the police on your own child

[brokenladyxx]

So just wanted to ask a question to all you mums netters.

If your DS or DD assaulted his or her partner and you witnessed it, you tried to intervene got no where and it was escalating quickly would you phone the police or not?

Yes

Yes. Absolutely. I would be disgusted with my child if he behaved like that and my main priority would be the person he was assaulting.

Yes I would also just wondered what other people's views were on this x

So did you call OP?

OP is writing about her MiL who she says has double standards about DV.

I am not a mind reader PP.

I would call.

No @Thiswayorthatway but if I'm the future when my kids are grown up I'm in the situation of course I would. Actions have consequences my children or not x

If you stay with him your son will internalise that men can be violent towards women and will get away with it. You have a very big responsibility here to ensure that does not happen. If you take action now then hopefully you will not be in the position of watching your son be abusive to the mother of your grandchildren.

OP is writing about her MiL who she says has double standards about DV.

What was the point of linking to OP’s other thread? She was probably looking for responses from decent parents without telling her back story and influencing posters. In this case there’s nothing wrong with that.

Yes, I would.

But your mother in law is not going to save you, you're going to have to do that yourself.

Look at all the answers on the other thread OP.
You have to leave and you know it.
It won't be easy but your situation is appalling.
Think about your children

@MrGsFancyNewVagina yes I was looking for parents answers on this question as general not to link it in with my other post.

For everyone else I don't want my MIL to save me I just don't agree with her accepting her own sons behaviour and standing by doing nothing! What is wrong with that

Yes, I would report my own child.

My obligation would be to the victim
Of the assault and most importantly, the children in the household. So many people turn a blind eye to domestic abuse. There were so many people in my childhood, who could have helped, but didn’t. They spoke instead about the sanctity of marriage and how hard life could be sometimes so people act out.

Because you seem to be playing a pick me dance with your mil. She doesn't pick you, she picks her son. She lacks moral integrity and that won't change.

Don't stay with a man who lays a finger on you, ever, regardless of his mother or her views. Think of your children and example you are setting.

You already got hundreds of responses on your other thread.
Not a single person is going to say domestic violence is ok, but your MIL is obviously not going to save you so you need to help yourself and leave the relationship. Stop making posts and starting helping yourself and your children.

Yes, although it would break my heart that my child was behaving like that

Why post on AMA?
