Question.

[WiMoChi]

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

Unreasonable?

[JuanTime]

Yes it's abuse,an adult who is expected to know better,moderate their response and behaviour biting a child.
It's not an appropriate response.irrespective of whether the child bit the adult
Do you see it's unacceptable?

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

Fucking hell I need help.

You certainly do if you have to ask.

Are you perhance the male parental unit in question?

[Buggers]

This is absolutely vile if it's true. I sincerely hope your child(seriously hope you haven't got more than 1) is taken very far away from the both of you.

[hormental]

How old is the child?

[NerrSnerr]

Fucking hell. My child pulled my hair earlier, if I had pulled her hair back it would have been child abuse. She was told it was naughty.

If you are having to ask these questions I think you need to give social services a call and ask for support in keeping your child safe.

[Gardencentregroupie]

Two. The child is two years old. That poor poor little girl. OP you need to report him to the police and get him far far away from your child and the new baby. If you don't then frankly you are also responsible for any further harm that comes to her.

[MargaretCabbage]

If my toddler bites, I stay calm and tell him not to do it. Biting a child is never reasonable, and hard enough to leave a mark is disgraceful.

[blowmybarnacles]

In some cases, Fathers with anger problems go on to kill children,

You need to protect your child.

[NerrSnerr]

Two? You have come on the Internet to ask if biting a 2 year old is bad? You need to get out, and do not leave any children alone with him for even a second until you do. Please keep your babies safe, you are the only person who can make sure this doesn't happen again.

[JuanTime]

Ok,step by step

1. Report to police and local authority.immediately
   
2. police and local authority initiate Risk Assessment and plan intervention.this will be notified to you
   

3.Police and local authority liaise to protect the child (and adult if necessary) this may include looking at accommodation,alleged perpetrator access to vulnerable children

[ButtonBoo]

Oh dear. Please do something. This is not good. You know it.

[icelollycraving]

If that happens that you know about,what else has happened that you don't? If he is abusive to you & you have lost your sense of self, I understand you trying to make out if it's acceptable. Not one person has said it is. Wake up, protect your child & yourself.

[FasterThanASnakeAndAMongoose]

Doesn't matter if the child beat the parent about the head with a frying pan!

Adult biting child = serious assault.

Seek help immediately.

[Shezza71]

I think if you ignore this and something more serious happens then you could be found guilty for abuse/neglect. Do you have a relative or friend you could confide in and stay with?

[Cynara]

Sometimes, on MN, an OP describes a situation and the first few replies are people jumping in to say how outrageous it is. That seems to set the tone, and only a few people will say "erm, well....doesn't actually sound that bad, really". Then the OP gets defensive because the majority of responses are so OTT.
OP, this really isn't one of those threads. Don't dismiss the unanimity as MN overreacting. Everyone is saying the same thing because it's true, and everyone is genuinely horrified by what you're describing. Biting a 2 year old child in anger is a serious assault and a very worrying indicator of more violence in the future. That poor little child only has you to rely on for her safety. Don't let her down, make her wellbeing your priority and get him out and into a police cell.

[AnyFucker]

No. The toddler that got bitten by an adult needs help.

[limon]

Assault. Social services. Now.

[Laiste]

Where has the OP said the child is 2? I can't see that post

Plus to add, no it's not ok to bite children. For any reason.

[Tobeemoree]

Yes, it's bad. Yes, you do need help. What can we help you with?

You need to support your child above and beyond the adult that reacted that way. They NEED you to do that. They can't do it for themselves.

[Junosmum]

Unreasonable? It's abuse!

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

This thread is like Chinese Whispers.

Where the heck is this stuff about the child being two and a girl coming from??

[NeedACleverNN]

I would guess people are searching for OP's others threads..

[NerrSnerr]

I have just had a quick look at the OP's other threads, she is pregnant and it looks like her little girl is just 2 (she described her as 22 months in June).
