my nephew got beat up (update #120 with the full story)

Shocking my sister just called here.

my 8 year old nephew got beat up by this stupid kid (who's his 'friend' and a bad influence) and some other kid. he called her from his cell phone (he has one for emergencies) and he asked if she could pick him up. the kid lives down the street from them. she walks down there and she sees him walking up the street all bloody and beat up. she talks to the parents who saw it. one said she was going to call the cops when she saw it happen.

i think my sister should press charges against those kids. if this was your kid what would you do?

DEFINITELY press charges. Why did the person that saw it happen not call the cops? That's messed up.

Press charges. There really is no other option. Not doing it would send a bad message to the kid, too.


He's ok, isn't he?

just so you know, one of the kids is 10 years old and i dont know the age of the second kid. my sister is going to look into what can be done to teach them a lesson, whether it's pressing charges against them or something else.

i met kid #1 and he's a little punk ass. he thinks he knows everything and has such attitude. i wanted to Slap him at my nephew's birthday party.

my nephew is ok. no serious injuries, thankfully.

Press charges.

Hopefully the police take it seriously, but if not, start petitioning the district attorney and/or raising hell as best you can.

He may have a hard head, but a Louisville slugger wouldn't know the difference. Oh wait...

pressing charges, the american dream.
seriously? call the school. tell him to keep his head up.
he will now learn who his friends are.

now get over it.
he is eight, and learning.

i assumed this was all common sense.

Cut the kid's nuts off. That'll teach the little farker.


As for "pressing charges", 40.oz, yes - This is ASSAULT. Not just something said that hurt the OP's family's feelings.

What would I do? First I'd ask my husband to get off of me because he's probably holding me down to keep me from choking the little bastard....but yes, I'd press charges. It's not like the kid just hit him once and that was it....the kid was BLOODY and BEAT up. Hell yes, I'd press charges.

I wonder did your sister take any pictures of your nephew after this? Probably would have been a good idea. If not maybe take pictures tomorrow if any bruising.

There's also the option of suing, but we sue too much. But who knows... just an idea.

Two kinds of kids: the bully and the beaten.
I went to Catholic grammer school. Got beat up every day by two girls on the way home.
Didn't even dawn on me to tell my parents.
By highschool no one would dare mess with me.
Little scrappy athlete: basketball (jump and run!!)
Volleyball (jump and hit!)
Swimming (stamina)
Fencing: (aim and balance)

Is the kid a mama's boy? Teach the kid to protect himself.
Ok to hit boys, not ok to hit girls. Teach him that rule.

Get him on soccer team: (kicking, head butts, running)

I'm female: boys- kick, run and yell 'fire'
Girl on Girl: pull hair out no biting or spitting, scratching ok (gets dna under fingernails).

Cops will ignore it. Was the kid hospitalized? That's where reports to police are made. Stiches?

Good luck. That's my life lesson

Oh also, learn how to insult: learn their vulnerable spot:
Loser- you'll never get blah blah blah
Pick on features, teeth, face, nose, hair, weight, clothes.

when I was a kid, those of us in the neighborhood all played together. Occasionally there would be a pretty good fight. No charges were ever pressed, the parents would just agree to ban their children from playing with the other kids for a month.

Also, they should consider getting their son involved in a self-defense class or some other type of sport where he will build self-confidence and gain friends outside of the same bad group.

teach him to give a swift kick in the pants, cheap shot but at least it'll be a lifelong lesson for the other kids when they get older and can't reproduce.
