[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 576544, member: 1233"] Janet, this isn't typical for around here. Not by a long shot. I would get involved so that the boy knows it just isn't okay. If this was a situation where they both understood that what they were gong to do was to beat each other up, I would have a different perspective. But this was totally unexpected, just a grab of thank you's hair and when he tried to push the kid away, a punch and then the other kid ran away. I also do NOT want this kid to tell his folks that thank you attacked him. thank you didn't even hit him at all, just grabbed his shirt to push him away. thank you does not have a single mark on his hands from hitting the other kid. In our area, as in MANY others, violence is not acceptable and it doesn't matter what gender you are. This isn't how problems should be handled. It is actually fairly common for parents to press charges and have kids who fight arrested. thank you doesn't need this if the other kid lies about it. I would like to know both sides of the story so that maybe we can help both boys learn ways to handle conflict with-o fighting. I am doing what thank you and husband want, and not going to the other parents right away. If the boys cannot talk it out in the morning, I will go talk to the boy's parents. Fighting is not okay and in fact is illegal. In my area the cops will take reports of fights and will press charges if there are bruises or worse. I hope thank you tells the kid that if there is a next time, the cops WILL be involved. I won't let husband and thank you have the option of letting thank you try to talk to the kid first. I don't WANT to have to do that, but my children will NOT be beaten. [/QUOTE]
