my neighbour assaulted my 5 year old!!!!

[hangingbyathread]

saturday my dd was playing out front with the group when my neighbour in opposite house was coming back from the shop,my dd&her friend were standing in her way like kids do arms spread ect,she told my dd to move,when she didnt move she got her arm&shoved her out the way&my dd landed backwards in a bush,i have contacted the police&they have logged it as assault but now monday they still havnt come apparently they are "busy",iam fuming,i want to hit her but i know i will be arrested if i do,also what has upset me is i thought my friend&neighbour who dd plays with was my friend&to me loyalty is a big part of friendship but my friend has still carried on as normal,not stuck up for my dd&if it was me i would make it clear to the assaulter it is wrong to do that to a child(as i have said to her but got no response)also the problem i have now is my dd5 wants to go play out the front but i have tried explaining to her she cant until the police has been as the person may hurt her again as she obviouly thinks she"s got away with it as she has been sniggering&making gestures at me on the school run,what do i do iam so upset

what threads that?im finding this quite exciting

pot and kettle spring to mind

piglit- shall we lobby tech to do a rolling eye emoticon!! would save a lot of typing!!

its under nappies and potty training .dated today

hang on ladies - had a look at that thread,hangingbyathread did put a after her comment so perhaps she was being funny before this gets cranked up a level!

Oooh, let's crank it up!!

"shouldnt you teach your ds some manners&tell him its not acceptable to rip his matress protector?"

But it is ok to deck a neighbour lol

I cant belive how out of hand this thread has gone. Listen if it was my DS & somebody did that to him I would have felt the same way as u & there is nothing wrong with being angry with this women ( normal reaction!!) I think calling the police may have been a knee jerk reaction as u dont sound like u will go & hit her & she wont talk to u.........so what else is there do u dont have to justify yourself to any of us & i think its a bit sad we cant these days come on to MN & have r rants about life without having to go the defensive

it is so silly, not worth the effort of starting another fight!!!

But Sana, the op didn't just rant, she asked what should she do ? ! She is just particularly defensive when anyone suggests anything other than what she has done or wants to do and calls them "unsupportive" or bad parents in response, which I don't think anyone has actually said to her.

Hbat - in her OP last line said 'what do i do iam so upset '

So as MN s do we told her what to do , gave her advice, she didn't like what she was told and hence some of us are in the dog house ( bloody big kennel at the moment !!) and some of us are unsupportive and harsh parents.

Advise was given as asked and it was not liked .

Hbat was not having a rant she was asking for advice .

Let's all have a hug!

first in the queue to be hugged by rhubarb.....!!!

Id love a hug, but think the idiot who called the police should be first in line

idiot yourself spana

erm...why? You have a variety of options, looking at this board...why pick on me?!!

In fact, thinking about it, why doesn't Hangingbyathread tell us what she wants to do to the neighbour and where she sees the outcome, then we can all call it a day on here...don't know about anyone else but I for one am very bored.

Spannapiana as you may or may not have noticed i&all others stopped posting on here yesterday as there is nothing else to say,i got what i wanted&more from the thread so why keep posting,why dont you start your own&to call me an idoit makes you an idiot i.m.o as you dont know me

So you waste everyone's time and energy with writing and reading?! You could at least tell us all what the police did and put us out of our misery

Oh and who's advice you took in the end? Thump, hug, cup of tea...

Spannapiana you gave no advice just called me an iddiot!as far as im concerned its none of your concern,the people that have been kind enough to email me have heard the outcome,now just drop this&leave me alone

ive not been nasty but would like to know outcome.

did you resolve things amicably then?

why cant people just let this thread go now?i asked for advice&got many different opinions which iam greatfull for thanks you-

one of my posts...(yawns...)

"Violence is no way to show a 5 year old how to behave. It's not right that an adult allegedly assaulted a child, but then who put the child in such a vulnerable position in the first place?
I too have a (nearly) 5 year old, he hasn't even grasped the concept of what a password is let alone irritate neighbours. If he did, there are far better ways than "decking" the neighbour. And he's most certainly not allowed to play in the street unsupervised.

Out of interest, how was the child punished for being so rude to a stranger laden with shopping bags not being allowed to her own front door?"

I'd call that advice, personally...(yawns again...)

spanniapana - come to the virtual mnet bakery...it's much more fun!!

another of your posts IDIOT!!!!why cant you help yourself from posting
