If another parent/adult hit your child, what would you do?

Question

If another parent or adult hit your child what would you do? I don't mean hit as give a little pat on the butt, I mean like punched/beat up? Reason I ask because I have actually seen footage of 2 teen girls who got into a fight and then the mother comes and helps beat up one of the girls. So if an adult/another parent beat up or hit your child what would you do? Would you want your kids/teen to fight back?

Answer 1

I would kill them!!!!!! My daughter is too young to fight back, but should she ever be in that situation when she is older, I would want her to fight back. However I would try to avoid that situation ever, but if it was someone i know and thought I trusted, I would seriously KILL them.

Answer 2

hit them back

Answer 3

Do i hear the word lawsuit maybe? or just sue them

Answer 4

the rule in my house was if they hit you first, then its ok to fight back. don't just start fights. i would report that mother, and afterwards beat the h**l out her my self!

Answer 5

well these two girls tried jumping my sister and my mom went and pulled the girl of my siss and thew her down but she deserved it so if the girl deserved it then thats her problem the moms not going to just sit there and watch her daughter get hurt

Answer 6

yes i would want my teen to fight back as self defense. i would take my kid and put her in self defense classes. and the next that happens she would be able to defend herself but i would still let the police know.

Answer 7

If my teenage child were being punched or beat up by another adult then I'd expect them to defend themselves tooth and nail!  Afterwards they can come tell me and I will be making a house call to that adult.....with the police by my side to hold me back from doing anything stupid.

Answer 8

CALL THE COPS!!! Have them arrested. Kids these days show no mercy to people, so why show them any pity?

Answer 9

If anyone is going to hit my child I expect them to fight back and defend themselve. The first thing I would do would be to call the cops and have the other parent arrested. If I walked out and saw it happening I would get them off my child and show them how it feels...

Answer 10

Honestly the irrational part of me would want my teen daughter to give as well as she got.  The mother in me would want to protect her and call the police asap.  I hope I'm never in the position to find out what exactly I would do, most likely get her out of there and call the police.  Because regardless I'm need to teach her that physical violence doesn't solve anything, it only drags it out further.  Once someone fights someone else, theres always round 2,3....

Answer 11

God help anyone who ever causes harm to my child.  It would not be pretty!

Answer 12

Yes, in that situation yes....my child would have every right to defend herself...I would not condone my child fighting in the first place but if they were the same size or whatever then its a fair, clean fight and for the mom to come in and continue the fight, that would be uncalled for and once I got word of it I would beat that woman's A*S*S myself and make her regret stepping in on her daughters fight!

Answer 13

If an adult beat up my child, I would show up on their doorstep with a steel pipe and make it so they cannot hurt my child again!

Answer 14

give it right back to them.

Answer 15

My kid would be fighting back already.

Answer 16

Someone needed to call the police and have those two little tails arrested.  It is very disconcerting to get a call from the police at work and be told your child is in custody for assault.   Should happen far more often.

Answer 17

no, i would report it and get some money out of it

Answer 18

I would kill them.

Answer 19

Call the police.  If the parent intereres because they are pulling the girls apart or hit the other girl to defend her own self to get her off of her or her daughter then that is one thing but to become involved in the fight is pretty serious.

Answer 20

if another parent laid a hand on my child without my permission, i'd be fuming. yelling usually does the trick fine. although if a girl was beating up my child i'd pull my child away and yell at her somthing fierce. if she swung at me i would call the police and try to restrain her.. no matter what i'd try my best not to hit her back.. i think jail is torture enough.. plus i have class.

Answer 21

If it was anything other than slapping a small child's hand away from a dangerous situation, I would call the police.

Answer 22

Depends on if the child deserved it. And where was the parent that should have been supervising the situation to prevent this?

Answer 23

Of course I would want my child to fight back.  I would press charges and have them arrested!

Answer 24

i would hit them they have no right at all

Answer 25

I would want my daughter to fight back IF it will protect her. But i would kick that adults *** if they ever ever laid a hand on my daughter.

I would also make sure that they suffers horribly through the law and make sure they get the book thrown at them.

Answer 26

I would try to restrain myself from killing them, but I would press charges against them and sue for all that they are worth for.And go to the press with the incident.They would never try that BS with my kid again!!

Answer 27

I would go to the police and press charges

Answer 28

Well it depends did he give him a small little pat/smack on the hand or give him a smack upside the head, or something that severe. if it was the pat/smack i'd tell them "thanks for trying to fix it but let me handle it next time." if it was the severe hit then I'd tell them "it is not your job to discipline my child..escpacially not with hitting." and not let them go over to the house again. it also depends on how close you are was it a relative? if so it's not that big of a fuss. if it was just a small little hit.
