Dd reported for assault

[Lovelytabbycat777]

Someone through a cup of water at dd’s uni accommodation door. She then saw the person and throw water over them is this assault? Even when provoked

Aren't you the poster who keeps coming back every day with a new story about someone harassing you and then you or your family members will physically assault them and then wonder whether you've committed a crime

No

Christ 😬

I wouldn’t be supporting my daughter to manage this situation, I’d be telling her to grow up and that “ongoing dispute” or not, handle yourself better.

Hot water?

Doesnt matter if she was provoked. The other person only threw water at a door (criminal damage at the very worst)

Throwing something at a person is considered common assault or battery.

Hth

We know what the OP means.🙄

unless "she was wearing a short skirt, your honour, what was i supposed to do?"

Have to agree with this

It is assault.

I’m aware of the police filing charges after a Court officer witnessed a person at Court throw a drink of flavoured milk over someone they hated who was also present at Court.

The Police dropped the charges - even though there was a witness.

You need to have a conversation with your daughter about when and when not to react and also to never speak with the Police.

You may need a lawyer to get the charges dropped.

When do these kids actually grow up?

I'd get your daughter moved out of her accomm. and into another. Sounds as if this will just perpetuate otherwise. The other person will likely prod until he/she gets another rise.

they dont they just get lawers instead

Do you think you could make your replies a bit shorter please?

They're awfully long and hard to follow.

Or become lawyers....

More details needed

You are giving less than the bare minimum.

It doesn't cost per word to post on here @Lovelytabbycat777

This is assault. We had police involvement after my son was beaten by another boy at school. It transpired my son had instigated the incident by throwing water at the other boy first. The police explained to my son he had also committed assault, in fact they told him that if you throw an object at another person even if you miss, if the other person feared the object would hit them then that is also assault.

Ultimately no police action was taken against either of them

What's the backstory @Lovelytabbycat777

This can't have come out of nowhere.
In any case, your daughter threw water on a person. That person had only thrown it on your daughter's door.

It's trivial but what led up to it?

Just get her to say she saw red mist or something and she won’t do it again and she should get a caution.

Hot water or cold?

If it’s a first offence it’s basically just a caution.

Is that how the law works?

Sorry officer, won’t happen again?

Ooh well hot water will be taken more seriously.

sometimes yes

Worked for me when I threw something at my ex.
