Would you hit someone else’s child?

[Wtfneighbour]

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 wouldn’t, but then I wouldn’t hit my own.

Oh come off it OP. Just post what you want to post, without this pointless game.

i am posting what I want to post. Which seems to have upset you? Feel free to move along

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

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

Vague booking. It’s tiresome.

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?

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.

Of course I wouldn't spontaneously hit one for being a little shit but I'd intervene to split up a fight.

😂 no but that prompted this thread. This is about a family member

No - I wouldn’t hit anyone - child or adult. If another adult hit my child I would be calling the police. If another child hit my child ( at school) I would expect the school to handle it and let me know what had happened and what steps they were taking to keep my child safe at school.

Well i’d never get to the point of hitting someone else’s child.

I suppose I might strike a teacher or parent if (in my mind) that was genuinely the only way to get my child out of a situation that threatened their life or well-being. But unless there's some unusual subtext (e.g., your child has been participating in some kind of espionage) a tremendous amount would have had to have changed about safeguarding in the UK before I would feel that way.

I was asking as a family members child has had a bad time at school recently. Our mutual grandparent suggests FM should give the kids mum a beating and the kid a slap.

our grandparent historically has battered parents over bullying and has also scragged a teacher or two. Most notably having a dinner lady by the throat in the canteen. Says it was normal back then and that’s how things were handled.

im not sure I’d hit a child for bullying mine but I’d definitely be having a very strongly worded conversation with it’s parents.

I didn't realise the Idiotic Thread of the Week Competition was running again.

Never would I hit anyone unless in an absolute crisis situation where I needed to physically defend myself or my child.

I'm not raising my son to think he solves problems with his fists so why would I demonstrate that. I would never, ever hit any child unless again they were going to kill me which is unlikely.

They sound rough!

Things have never been handled that way unless you’re the type of people that handle things that way.

This isn't someone I'd have my children around if that's how loose their temper is. They sound unhinged.

Quite!

Oh FFS.

Did they throw the dinner lady through a window and then everyone clapped and cheered?

Reported.

I remember them inviting friends round when they’d been mean to me as a child and pulling their hair and making fun of them. It really upsets me to think about to be honest.

I would absolutely intervene if my child was being bullied, whether that is by another child or an adult/teacher, but that doesn’t mean I’d be running in with my fists up. There are plenty of other ways to intervene without being physically violent.

are you well?

Well doesn't your grandparent sound like a delight. Did they ever face legal consequences for assaulting people?

Bizarre thread.
