@Angelika once again do your research on what’s class as abuse. People like yourself like to manipulate the facts to justify your opinion. Learn the difference between facts and opinions. But time will tell what individuals you raise in this world. …
@Niiccy🇯🇲🇬🇧 & I didn’t miss-quote you because again, pushing & hitting are both considered abuse when it is an adult doing it to a child. It really sounds like you need to learn to control your own emotions first
@Niiccy🇯🇲🇬🇧 there is no difference between hitting or pushing when it is an adult doing it to a child, you are much bigger than the child. Any type of physical altercation committed by an adult against a child is abuse. Also, you wouldn’t be defending yourself so it cannot be considered self defence. Again, after the first altercation between the kids, I would’ve taken my child & walked away. I might have said something to the other parent but I wouldn’t have been dumb enough to let my child go back to the other kid.
@Angelika Before you quote the law, do your research, you have the right to defend yourself and use reasonable force. I don’t care for your opinion, this is a public platform and you have the right to your view, but what you not going to do @Angelika is miss quote me, cause I didn’t use the word slap or hit, punch ect. There’s a reason why in the USA, there a high number of school. Cause kids can’t regulate their emotions, and react in a violent way when there’s no need for violence.
@Angelika can’t you not read???pushing and hitting are two different things. So please go back to basics and lookup the difference of pushing a child away from your child And hitting a child Dumbass
@Niiccy🇯🇲🇬🇧 I personally wouldn’t let him go back to the child after the first time so it wouldn’t have reached to the slap. As a parent, you can only control your own child, you gave no right to lay your hands on someone else’s child, & the law would say the same thing. After the first elbowing, I would take my child & walk away.
@Niiccy🇯🇲🇬🇧 you sound very proud of your approach… & FYI, you shouldn’t be. No matter how angry you are, there is no reason for adult to even THINK about hitting another child.
I’ve learned in early childhood development courses that we ALL have a moral obligation to teach ALL children. I simple “our hands are NOT for hitting, you hurt [Sons name]” and saying it by his mother would’ve possibly helped her also. Because sadly some parents are just not aware of how to handle situations either. Hope this helps and hopefully there isn’t a next time
So if it was me and I saw how the boy reacted the first time my kid approached him I wouldn't have let me kid go near him again! You can't expect others to have the same level of bounderies as you would. Yes it was completely wrong, but if I saw how the kid was at first I would have got my kid and told him some kids don't know how to share and I would have said it out loud so the kids and mom could hear. And redirected him to another option.
You see @Nicholle there is child behaviour like a little push, snatching ect. And then there adult behaviour of a slap around the face. The world will humble your kids, if you as a parent won’t. In that moment in my personal opinion, the mother didn’t do enough, so if I want to call the police, I have the right to do so I don’t give 2 fs if you want to call me mentally ill, I said PUSH not slap. Cause I promise you, as soon as that child put hand on my child I’m reacting to get that child away from my son. But I guess you would stay there and let the child hit your child a good few time, thinking kids will be kids ….
Omg I am so mad on your behalf like wth?! Obviously you can’t touch the other child but I would’ve definitely confronted the mom and said something like you better teach your kid some manners and what he did is absolutely not ok!! In the meantime teach your child to defend himself?
@Emily the iPads all had different games. My son didn’t just push him and tried to use his iPad he was politely asking if he could have a turn. You’re really gonna defend an aggressive kid who clearly doesn’t get disciplined for shit that slapped my son across the face when all my son did was ask for a turn? Tf is wrong with you
if there was an iPad available your son really should’ve accepted that as an option. I’d be mad if I was that 5 yo too, like go use the empty one why do you need mine?
I have a child that is learning not to be aggressive. She hasn’t hit anyone but she has taken things away. I tell her that we need to respect others and their things. I also have her apologize to the child. She needs to learn to apologize when she does something to hurt someone else. That mother should of had him apologize or at least should of apologized to you both on his behalf.

She said we don’t hit and walked away so he didn’t get to continue playing on the iPad. You don’t know if she spoke to him about it later or not. Just curious what would you have wanted her to do to discipline him ? I doubt shouting at him in a public place would have got him to understand he can’t act like that
@Niiccy🇯🇲🇬🇧 you need mental help. The child was 5. Police!? Or assaulting a small child when your an adult? Your messed up in the head.
Ok you can’t say she didn’t discipline him enough. She spoke to him about it. What do you expect her to do really? She should’ve at the very least acknowledged you and your son and apologized on her sons behalf. And I’m the mom to talk to another child. If his mother won’t, i will. But they’re children
If that was me I would have 2 options. 1. Call the police for assault, cause if the mum not going to discipline, then someone have too, 2. I’m pushing that child back. One way or another, the police is getting called
I would have been PISSSSSEDDDD. If my kid was the one who did the slapping.... NO WAY AM I LETTING THAT GO. Hellllll no. Just reading this made MY blood boil. That's why kids are so ignorant and rude these days without a care in the world about other people- bc their parents d9nt give a crud!!!!! I would have started on the mom and made some comments about how people don't know how to raise their kids. Ridiculous. Hopefully you guys continued to have a good time though despite that
Definitely would have confronted the mother. There is no excuse. Why should my child be hurt over inconsiderate parenting! Hope your baby is okay 💕
@Angelika dumb enough to let the child go back to the kid? You’re gonna call me dumb now lol why do I have to stop my child from doing what he wants. When instead these dumb parents need to control their dumb kids to not hit other people unless they wanna get hit too. Instead next time what I’ll tell my son is to go back to the kid and hit him back even harder so that kid can learn a lesson. Bc clearly he ain’t learning shit from his mom and is going to continue to act like a brat
