What would you do?

[Dante'sInferno]

Well,i got word today that one of my friends sister got slapped yesterday.I'm not to happy about it,but i would give the kid another chance.Meaning if he did it again,i would......lets just say,teach him a lesson.Now,if i wasnt on my medication i would have probably beaten him within an inch of his life today.Now,what would you do in this situation?Am i making the right descion?

i wouldnt do anything that could land me in jail with an assault charge..

i would remind the kid that slapping someone is assault and the next time the cops will be on his ass.


i'm by no means a small guy - i'm no chicken, and I can easily punch my way through a wooden door - but many years ago i decided life is far better without a criminal record - going to jail - being fined - losing a job - etc ..

(or heaven forbid - something goes wrong and i seriously injure someone)

you can push someone with no intent - they can acccidentally fall and crack open their skull ... you end up looking at a serious charge.

it happens all the time.

past 13 - we really need to use our brains ..not our fists ..

being a badass isnt cool anymore... let the cops handle it.

That's what I thought too.Hopefully they will call the cops if it happens again.But,hopefully he'll be smart enough not to do it again.

I'm not sure how old you are, but I'd say for now. Scare him. Come round to his house with a baseball bat, then say you've just come from a game or something like that. Then tell him what he did was wrong and it would be a shame if he did it again. Don't do anything with the bat coz then you might go too far. Also, be careful. He might not take well to her telling people.

I'm 19,i'll just let the police deal with it.I hope it doesnt happen again though.Thanks for the pointers though.:)

I'm going to - and this hurts me more than you know - agree with Ferret on this one: scare the little bastard.

I'd leave the bat at home though...I know if it was me, that'd just be way too tempting. What you should do is go up to him all friendly-like, put your arm around his shoulders, and casually and subtly theaten him - make sure you're smiling the whole time. He'll never go near your friend's sister ever again.

That sounds good.I may end up doing that.Thanks Return.

Since its your friends sister I'd let the cops handle but if it was your sister a beating would have to commence but thats just me.

does she have a brother old enough to scare this guy?
