[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 342688, member: 8405"] Hugs Serenity!!!!! Here's points you may not have considered... During the "beautiful years" (when difficult child's weren't exhibiting excessively concerning behaviors) I took Martial Arts lessons with my kids. During sparring, my young daughter-difficult child's finger was slightly injured and got very swollen very fast. We went to the emergency room. Upon registration, I was asked if I wanted to press charges against the sparring partner that caused the injury... (another YOUNG child in the class!) SHOCKED, I explained again clearly... "She was in KARATE CLASS! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! THEY WERE SPARRING!" The ER attendant explained the way local law is written, we could press charges if we wanted to! I'm certain the stupid laws in this ignorant area are not wide spread... but you may want to check out your local laws and you may find you prefer a non-contact sport for your son! Another point... one of the adult instructors of the class was bragging how easily she could injure an unruly student on purpose and make it appear to be an accident. We dropped that class with no regrets! (perhaps that "sensei"'s discipline philosophy is part of the reason why local laws are what they are!!!!) [/QUOTE]
