Are you a parent yourself?

Yes and if my daughter now aged 22 had thrown stones at cars when she was 10 she would have been very strongly reprimanded and if somebody had bruised her while she was doing that I would have no issue whatsoever.

Not that she would of course. As she would know it’s wrong to damage other people property.

I just don’t get your point. So

What would you do as a self confessed snowflake (your previous comment)

I wouldn't advocate violence against children. If a ten year old was throwing stones at my car, I wouldn't go over and elbow in the ribs with the intention of causing him pain / bodily harm in order to discourage him from doing so. Would I go over take the stones from him and tell him he shouldn't do that? Yes. Would I speak with the parents if they were around to tell them to keep control of their children? Yes. If the parents are not around and the children told me to fk off, would I 'elbow them in the ribs'? No. I would leave and be pissed off and maybe phone 101 but that's it.

I was walking down the street a few weeks ago and a group of kids around ten or eleven were throwing snowballs at pedestrians. One came up to me and said "do you like snowballs". "not really". threw one straight at me and then him and his mates started throwing more. did I go over and fight all of them? no I walked off because in this situation I am the adult and they are the children and I need to be more mature.

If it were a group of 15/16 year olds? A) I'm still the adult. B) I'd be much more worried about getting knifed or the st kicked out of me in return.

So if someone had elbowed your daughter in the ribs and smacked them over the head because she had chucked some stones at cars at age ten you would have done nothing about it and would be absolutely fine with vigilante justice being dealt out against your child?

I simply don't believe you.

Hmmmm anyway I would and whatever you think or would do I disagree with it. Take action and sort it yourself. 101 don’t make me laugh. In Nottingham the police don’t come if you’ve been burgled nowadays.

I wouldn't really expect the police to come, tbh. I would expect they would come quite quickly at reports of a grown adult man elbowing children in the ribs, however.

I would have no sympathy for her and she would have deserved it. But then She has been brought up properly and it wouldn’t have happened. We aren’t talking about nice kids here. These are little shots who deserve a bit of punishment. I’m not on about beating them up. Just a bit of a poke and slap

Firstly I would certainly reprimand my child and offer to pay for any damages. Secondly I would then break the arms and legs of the person who accidentally stuck their elbow into the ribs of my child while handing over the cheque to them.

Obviously this is moot because my two children wouldn't do that, but anyone other than my wife or I, trying to chastise my children, would probably be beaten to within an inch of their lives. I'd feel good about it afterwards too.

Accidentally. I doubt it

I'm with you on the beating kids up. But that's kind of why they don't really care, you walked off they won they'll keep doing it. There are other ways to scare the st out of them without physical violence but just walking off doesn't help.

Exactly right.

Not if they are 10 but an accidental cuff over the head and an elbow in the ribs would make me feel so much better. Oops sorry sonny

You'd elbow a ten year old in the ribs...? Hope the father doesn't catch you doing so and/or the child doesn't report you. Would not be good for you.

Yes I bloody well would if he had been throwing stones at my car. What’s wrong with people these days to just let some little fukwit think that’s ok

Accidentally of course. Oops sorry

The 'little fukwit' is TEN YEARS OLD.

Why don't you stop goading people for a reaction so you can claim the moral high ground?

He has probably been bullied when he was younger and this is his way of bigging himself up. I could psychoanalyse him but it wouldn't be a challenge as there is very little complexity.

Why are all these fictitious little vandals ages 7-10 in his mind? Are they all carrying kittens as well?

I think probably because they are below the age of criminal responsibility so if they toss a brick at you they can't be got. Maybe it the fact that with this age group adults feel powerlessness.

Personally, when I'm in Liverpool and a kid says "I'll watch your car" I'm happy to give the little blighter a few quid for being enterprising. Only of course if the car is still in one piece and never cash up front.

This hard man attitude only works as long as you are harder than the other chap. And I imagine you are not Chuck Norris, so there will always be someone harder than you. So you are the one that gets the 'severe kicking'. Or alternatively someone less hard than you but with less to lose just decides to knife you in the street. Or alternatively he gathers eight of his mates and give you the 'severe kicking'.

It's not a very grown up way of dealing with issues.

Good job I have 9 mates, and am also chuck norris

Seriously though, what does the 'grown up way' achieve? Useless police get report of a bunch of s acting like a bunch of s. Police do nothing. Bunch of s continue to behave like bunch of s.

Or, give one of the little sts/their dad a shoeing. Maybe it won't happen again. You'll definitely feel better though. Unless, of course, your name is Integroo, and you're terrified of leaving your house and prefer to hide under the table

I'm not sure I agree with you. The fact it's a 10 year old is a valid point, certainly makes more sense than the internet hardmen giving it Johnny Concrete about 'accidently' elbowing a child. Cringe.

I'm not trying to goad anyone. So many blokes in this thread thinking they're some sort of hard man for wanting to assault children.

Agreed on the principle, it's just the way he's going about it and picking up on everyone who (presumably) tongue in cheek states they would give them a slap or whatever.

Nobody knows who the kids are and how old they are so it's just hypothetical arguing for the sake of it
