DS (12) has a bruised eye and cheek
According to ds and his mate (the other lad who did it is part of their group and lives 2 doors down)
Ds was annoying the other lad by putting his hand over the back gate when the lad had asked him to sod off
DS kept putting his hand over, so neighbours son leaps over fence and pucnhes ds twice in the face.
WE go over to try and sort it out, get kids to apolgise (obviously first wanting to kill the little gobshite but realising (yada yada) we needed to be upstanding role models
DS cannot punch he's useless
But the parents were
pissed (drunk) and said well your ds should not have put his nad over the gate and what did he expect.
This lad goes to ds's school, when the school find out they will likely exclude this lad as they are grammar school and shit hot on this sort of thing and view anything that happens outside the school as seriously as things that happen inside the school.
Should I teach my ds to kickbox or something?
Am I being naive, ?
Am just agog at their response or lack thereof.
