Adult threatening a child with violence

Why are you unable to speak directly with this man ?
This country has gone soft. If the OP story is true, and I have no reason to believe otherwise and this was me and my child had been threatened in this manner I would be straight onto the bloke next time at the school gates asking what his game is in threatening a kid. Grow a backbone, man up and deal with it. The police are going to do bugger all, chances are the school will do bugger all too.Edited by ROSSinHD on Friday 25th November 20:44
When I was younger than 11 I was given a clout by the father of a boy I'd pushed off his bike. My dad had no sympathy whatsoever and told me I deserved it. Another time my grandfather belted my arse for destroying part of his flower garden. Punishment for childhood misdemeanours was often done and dusted, not just by parents, in no time in those days, no questions asked.

For context he was playing tag at school with girl. The game got 'enthusiastic' but all fine. School knew about it, nothing to deal with. Other child's mother aware and knows boy wouldn't hurt her child and says its a non story having finally been able to speak to her hours after posting this.
What is not a non story is another child's Uncle heard untrue rumours and threaten boy whilst boy was attempting to make his way home from school minding his own business. The same boy that escorted this Uncles Niece home only days ago when no relative bothered to turn up from school to collect her to make sure she got home safely.
As such boy is now incredibly scared of Uncle due to him actually being a decent kid.
As an outsider observer, I interpret this as:What is not a non story is another child's Uncle heard untrue rumours and threaten boy whilst boy was attempting to make his way home from school minding his own business.

- Boy does something not acceptable to girl
- Uncle finds out and tells boy to stop being a dick
- Parents talk to each other and resole it
- Boy deflects blame from himself on to Uncle

School and parents recognise this is just a playground incident.
Uncle weighs in and threatens boy.
The first two points will be well known to anyone who has children in primary school.
I'd be having a chat with the uncle myself. I would also mention it to the school. I would not involve the Police.
If it happens again I would though.

Enthusiastic tag? 
Indeed what does this mean? Did the girl get hurt in any way? Why on earth would the school be involved in a game of tag?If your child gets a bruise then the parents will ne informed by the school.
If the school are involved and they are taking no action then it will have been an innocent event.
People trying to infer that there must be more to this clearly don't have children in primary school. There may be more to it but the OPs story is perfectly plausible.

OPs son roughed up a girl then cried like one to daddy when someone pulled him up on it. Daddy thinks sun shines out of sons arse and therefore its everyone elses fault innit.

ksake NOT everyone is a bloke on here.I'm a snakes with tits, yell mumsnet if you f
king wish BUT IM NOT A fkING BLOKE!!!!!!!And for the constant doubters, the game of tag or 'it' as it was called many moons ago when I was a kid involved him tagging her but she sulked and didn't want to play because she got caught or tagged. Not rough and tumble, no hurting, no inappropriate stuff according to the child's mum who I spoke to directly. She said her child had gone off crying to staff because she was caught and didn't now want to play despite my son saying us boys normally play this but you wanted to join in so don't sulk when its your turn, yet she did.
And I can't speak to the Uncle of the other girl as I have no contact details, I only know its her Uncle because the tag girls mum told me it was him who was at the school that day.
School totally supportive of my child, to the point I was called to check he'd got home ok yesterday and will happily give Police all info if we go that route.
Not everyone has a hidden story you know, some of us are telling stories as straight up as we say.

I don't think talking to the uncle would be much use even if you did have his contact details. If the bloke is able to blow something like a game of tag to the point that he threatens a child, I suspect he'd been worse when an adult squares up.
Has the other mother said she'd have a word with the uncle?
