Luckily, the police didn’t see it that way. If my kid were on that bus, I’d be making phone calls demanding that he be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. When guys like this aren’t taught a harsh lesson, they just act out more. Without punishment, he might actually hit a kid next time.
If there is a next time,, he shouldn’t punch the kid. He ought to drag him off the bus and spank him in front of everyone.
He may have overstepped a bit (I couldn’t really discern the audio well), but I’m not a sue-happy person. Maybe if my kid was the cruel one - but isn’t that rich? As for my kid being innocent - go ahead, Dad!
My dad stormed onto our (nasty) neighbor’s property, right into their garage and “threatened” their kids and their friends, who loved torturing me there and at school. They were visibly scared. Then they had the nervous gaul to laughingly dismiss it on the bus the next day and call him “ugly”, etc, - but I saw their faces from our driveway. They were scared and didn’t say a thing to him. They need that respect drilled into them that their parents failed to do over 10 years.
