what would you do?

From inside your closed home you hear the blood curdling screams of a child. You rush outside to see a woman, arms fully extended over her head repeatedly bringing a thick rope down on her child who is flailing on the ground on his back.

How do you react?

Not trying to be a smart arse but I wouldn't come on the forums asking what to do. I would call 911 and let them deal with it unless she was really really hurting the child and then I would probably step in. I might get my arse kicked but at least it wouldn't be the child. How old was the child?

Perfect form tackle on Mom and dare her to beat me with that rope. You want to spank your kid? more power to you. You bring a weapon into the mix and all bets are off.

So I'm thinking this is NOT a hypothetical situation? You actually witnessed this? And if so, did you post AFTER calling the Police or are you still hemming and hawing?

I started to respond to the ridiculous portion of your response, but I decided just to ignore it and just go with the assumption that you are as stupid as you think I am (not trying to be a smart ass.....well...ok....maybe I am a little bit. )

Thank you for at least asking. It is not hypothetical and the police were called. Immediately.

Thanks being concerned enough to care. :yay:

I still would have beat that woman's ass. She doesn't deserve to be called a mom.

I could handle any assault charges anybody wanted to TRY and press against me. #teflon

I am not sure if this was a foul on my part, but I just called the station.

Sounds to me like you did the right thing, police, 911, you reported it right away. I would have intervened after I called the appropriate authorities but that's just me.

I'd run out there and pull her off the kid. That would be my first reaction before calling the cops or anything else.

I pondered it. But quite frankly, as a single mom living alone w a child of my own, I wasn't sure I wanted to take on a house full of what I suspect are addicts (total judgement call - I have no hard evidence of this).

Still, they know it was me.
