What would you do if someone hit your child?

[JessieBellll]

If you had a 60 year old man hitting your 6 year old, who was your dad's uncle, what would you do?

[kyleelyn199723]

Well my dad and my boyfriend would beat his ass in the next century, probably to the point of death

[JessieBellll]

Amazing

[kyleelyn199723]

The men in my family don’t play when it comes to stuff like that

[Anonymous]

I would fck him up, no one should touch your child but you and then I will call the cops

[Shortman70]

How close is this family? Was it a swat on the but or full on beat the living shit out of the child? What's was the situation? I disciplined my boys, if they needed it. Sometimes maybe to hard, sometimes not hard enough. I'm not talking blood, welts, red hands prints. If the situation needed a swat they got what they needed. My boys were all different, 2 of them were a little more stubborn, a swat here and there did the job tho. 1 was more rational most of the time, explaining the problem and talking about it was enough. Now, nobody would be as rough as I was punished. My father was strict and quick with the leather belt or the strap. A strong branch was used a time or two also. I wasn't a perfect child, sure maybe even deserved that harsh punishment a few times. I'm sure my father had it worse than I did, but my sons didn't need that harsh punishment. I turned out ok, my father is a pretty good guy, my boys turned out fine, too. We're country boys tho and you wouldn't have gotten in to much trouble for a bird. We have to be a little more practical out in the sticks. Sometimes it's better to make it quick than drag it out and possibly cause a bigger problem. Although the sound of leather singing through belt loops or the snap of a strap will still make me cringe a little.

[JessieBellll]

He was a horrible man, and totally not close to us.

[JessieBellll]

What if it your daughter

[Shortman70]

Was he wailing on her? Or was it just a swat? The details are to vague.

[JessieBellll]

I guess a swat, but it made him cry

[Shortman70]

One of my sons would cry if you scolded him harshly. The other 2 had thicker skin. He was a good kid, the other 2 were more spirited like me and could take a whooping and still walk that thin line. But if this great-uncle was that monsterous he wouldn't be around the family at all.

[nonratracereality]

a lot of what normally happens is overlooked due to the lack of overall experience in life along with human beings of all ages. Because I live by human civilized ways people know what's right and what's wrong. If you associate with people and want to know if they are safe for you ask the question if they were in charge of your life, a life and death situation or any situation in which they are speaking on your behalf will you trust their decision and if not wht are you allowing your standards to stay low while those around surpass and progress while you stay in the same position. That which is right doesn't like wrong and those that like wrong dont like right until you get through to them.

[ZackBan]

I remember that one time I was a kid and some guy as a means of humor lit up a lighter and pretended to burn my balls.
It lasted for 2 seconds before my mom had come out of nowhere grabed him by the throat and tossed him across the room.

Now I don't have any kids, but if I did and anyone in the world started hitting them there would be no conversation whatsoever, we can settle it once he's out of the ER.

[FatherJack]

Mine are teens now , I did savagely beat a Shrek lookalike mutant that got aggressive towards my daughter around a year ago. If they were little , I would have treated them like my sadly lost polecat hybrid would have treated a rat & gone full " weasel mode "

[Pyrofox]

For me it would highly depend on what my kid was doing. As my style of parenting is to hold my kid accountable for the crap they start. I'd probably first tell my elder to knock it off and then dish out my own type of punishment that probably would be worse than getting hit. As I enjoy staying fit so chances are I'd make the punishment instead, drop and give me 60 pushups with the perfect form full pushups instead of beating my kid. Which in some ways would be even worse.

[JessieBellll]

He could as well slap your wife

[Pyrofox]

If that happens he'd probably get the scissors to family jewels.

[JessieBellll]

Why? I don't see anything wrong

[JessieBellll]

Funny you are a child beater but not s woman beater.

You are strange

[Pyrofox]

Kids should learn what no means before life pulls the rug out from under them. And to be clear I'm not beating my kids I'm teaching them. To be stronger and not to expect handouts for being a nuisance. Most parents haven't got a clue how to parent. They quit parenting at the step of grounding.

[Lyndsielee666]

Someone did hit my oldest when she was two and his ass got jumped by the workers at the grocery store 🤷‍♀️

[JessieBellll]

Good

[humpbackjack]

It would depend on the circumstances but I would more than likely let him know that if he put his hands on my kid again I would put him on his ass I ain’t afraid to beat up old people paralyzed people or baby’s I’ll beat a 2 year olds ass go ahead and try me little baby…. Just playing I wouldn’t beat up a paralyzed person well maybe

[JessieBellll]

He wasn't paralysed, he was a psycho

[Rangers]

I hope you're not squeamish, that's what he'll look like when I'm done

[JessieBellll]

Great

[InYourHead]

I'd make him regret the day he was born. Idc if he's 60, I'll hit a man in the balls

[JessieBellll]

Look at that loser who said yes

[AndyOh]

If I was there, I would punch him in the nose.
If I knew this had happened, i would confront the uncle and tell him if he hits my kid again, I will call the police and have him arrested for child battery.

[DJB72]

Adult probably wouldn't live another day.

Older kid bullies him and I'll scare the little shit senseless. Zero tolerance.

Child the same age and he can ask me how to defend himself but he needs to step up himself.

[ArchivalMars2]

Uh kick him out and threaten to beat his ass, then probably call the cops if he came back too.

[Anonymous]

I'd put him in more pain that he's ever felt in his life.

[JessieBellll]

Good

[not_a_twinkie]

first instinct would be to get my kid safely behind me, I'm also non violent so the worst I would probably do is slap or hit them with anything I'm holding but by god would they be screamed at

[AviatorTom]

I'd intervene, stop him, and physically throw him out of the house, telling him never to return. Then I'd check my 6 year old, make sure they're not injured and if so, take care if their injuries.

[Seangreen]

First I'd have to see if it was the six-year-old causing it because I was a little bastard kid and I deserved a good smack upside the head once in awhile. If it was just somebody being a dick I'd have to give them the whoop-ass

[Daniela1982]

I would have to know the details. Is it spanking for misbehavior or what?

[JessieBellll]

Stomping on a bird

[Daniela1982]

Do you realize that cruelty to animals is a sign of future misdoings, such as being a serial killer or school shooter?

[Shortman70]

I think we went a little over the edge there.

[JessieBellll]

A child doesn't know what they are doing, so that's irrelevant

[JessieBellll]

You must be a huge push over letting strangers beat your kids

[Daniela1982]

He wasn't a stranger, he was a family member (uncle).

[JessieBellll]

Unrelated to the parent of the kid who hates him. The guy was a well known psychopath

[JessieBellll]

Funny how you try to portray him as an uncle when he would be unrelated to the parent.

You are pathetic

[Daniela1982]

You said quote, " who was your dad's uncle", which makes them a family member. In some families all the adults are responsible for discipline. The problem being the parents may work and not be home all the time so someone needs to step in with discipline. And you also didn't specify what kind of hitting. Playful, a light swat to the butt, or a punch that send them across the room. You could be a bit more specific in your questions.

[Honestguyopen]

Discipline is a parent's responsibility. I would have a conversation with him and thank him for caring about the child but ask that he allow any hitting to be done by the parent

[JessieBellll]

You have mental problems

[Honestguyopen]

I was spanked while being raised. I am not speaking of abuse. Just whatever discipline you choose should be left to you. That's all I meant

[JessieBellll]

If you don't mind other men hitting your child, then sorry you are a complete losee

[JessieBellll]

*losee

[JessieBellll]

Loser

[Honestguyopen]

I mind anyone laying hands on anyone. I was taught a father disciplined the child out of love. I am in agreement with you, but I also like to avoid needless confrontation. If the discipline was out of love, I simply mean to recognize that. If it is abuse, I don't condone it. It takes a village to raise a child, and we do best when we are forgiving of others and their mistakes.

[JessieBellll]

You sound like a push over

[Honestguyopen]

Well I am 5 ft 6. I was bullied a lot and have self Esteem Issues. On top of that I haven't slept a restful night my whole life. I am not a pushover. Just tired of fighting when forgiveness is easier

[noohair]

I would warn him, hit one more time and I am calling the police. I am the parent, not you.

[JessieBellll]

Pretty light

[noohair]

The answer to violence is not more violence, And I would insist the police arrest him and take him to jail.

[jirwin7979]

if i had a kid n some stranger hit him or her they best stay away from me i dont take abuse litely
