Beat On My Child?
Ummm I think not. I am pissed with the security guards for watching but I want to address the root of the problem first, why do our girls and boys think it’s cool to beat on each other? When I was younger, I thought it was cool to fight and it showed how tough I was. However, today’s rumbles are vastly different from what I used to engage in. These kids look like savages and it starts at home! I am all over these kids so I know any and every altercation that takes place at school and I make myself very clear to the older child’s peers as well as the school administration. I do not send my child to school to have defend himself, so if you pick a fight with him, you are picking a fight with me.
Last year, such a situation presented itself when a young man tried to entice my nephew to fight him. I went straight to his home and witnessed for myself the attitude of his grandmother which enabled his behavior. She works three jobs and in not so many words told me she does not have time to monitor each and every thing her grandson gets in to. Dig this, the most she instructs him is that if he has to fight, he should fight off campus so he does not get suspended. Excuse me? I believe in self-defense but antagonizing my kid is not the way to go. I realized since she was speaking very round-aboutish that I had to come direct: if your child even comes close to mine, I will be the problem, not my nephew. I most certainly did tell her, I will fight her child. I meant every bit of it.
When I watched this video, it cut through me. That could be my daughter and not enough is being done. You can see how she is trying to stick closely to the security guards hoping that they may intervene and they do nothing. They stand around and watch. Even today, if I am driving and see children engaged in what looks like it may be a hostile situation, I try my hardest to break it up (without myself getting hurt) I will yell, I will call the police in to try and break it up. But stand by and do nothing? Never.
Have a look at the video:
This is outrageous to me, no one did anything! This poor girl is getting kicked in the head and people stood by and watched. These children looked like savages and this is acceptable? There will be no beating on my kids. My daughter is only one and I cannot even imagine that I went through those arduous hours of labor to have someone beat on her like she is some kind of rag doll. I simply wish a child would try. I am coming for them and their parents. Someone has to be held responsible and it starts at home. There simply has to be a better way and fighting is not it. I will always teach self defense but bullying, I have zero tolerance for. In addition, we have to teach our children which battles are worth fighting for. Such remedial reasons such as name calling, evil looks, and bad-talking should not be enough to trigger my child to haul off and engage in full battle mode. I only want to hear of a physical altercation if and only if you had to, i.e, you were hit first. But these kids who are walking around just looking to pick a fight should be on the look out for parents like me, I am the ultimate defender.
