At what point is it acceptable to hit a kid?

[srebbe64]

I was on holiday last week in Tenerife and on one particular day I took the family karting.

My eldest son and I went out on the fast karts (there were four categories). Anyway, I was trying to overtake a young (English) lad about 14 or 15, when I realised that he was spitting at me - he must have done it about 3 or 4 times. In the end I rammed him off the track. After the race it took all my powers of self control to not lump him one. If I had have punched him, would I have had the moral high ground or will I have resorted to his "chav-like" level? By the way, his parents weren't there. If they were I would have had words with them.

The answer to the question posed in the thread title is:

In the soft tissues when no-one is looking...

Well, lamping the little fker would probably have landed you right in it, however you could possibly have tore him a new a$$hole (verbally) to the extent that he started to cry. Far more of a punishment to humiliate him publicly?

As a grown man it is likely that you could summon up dockers oysters of considerably impressive size, consistency and colour that some teenage scrote.

That would have taught him a lesson.

[ripton]

Never in my opinion.

I reckon you were spot on, ramming him off the track was a good way to say "Don't fck with me"

Doesn't matter what they've done or whether they are bigger than you, we will always have the advantage of age and experience which would make it an unfair contest.

RESPECT.!!!

This is what is lacking in the majority of our youth today.

Without respect - We're all doomed.!!!!

This little word is what will be the undoing of our (once) great nation.

if they spill your pint its ok.

[Boosted Ls1]

If they belong to you then you can choose to smack or not. When they belong to somebody else the rules change so ram the blighter off the track. Either way he needs to be taught a lesson in life.

Ramming him off the track was the right way to teach him that particular lesson...Better if you could have done it twice.

Unfortunately he probably learnt his behaviour from his father...That's if he knows who he is?

when exactly did you move away?

Spit right back....see how he likes being covered in phlegm. Then he'll get the message.

when I realised that he was spitting at me

Isn't that now called Common Assault??

[robdickinson]

May be in the UK, in Spain its probably called conversing...

[UncleDave]

You need someone around his age to do it on your behalf...

Why spit? Really s me off that does.. scruffy like scrote.

*Steps forward to give the beating*

[gorvid]

What a horrible situation...
I think you were right NOT to use phsical violence against him as he was a teenager.
However, spitting is absolutely disgusting...

Maybe you could have grabbed hold of him and spat into his face - see if he liked it?

Thats the problem little scrotes like that NEED a clip round the ear, because of this PC cr*p world we now live in respect has gone right out of the window.

[dinkel]

I would have taken him to the loo and flushed his head a few times

Fecking hell, don't try that with me. Tipped a guy in the canals once for being un-nice.

I thought this was about hitting your own kids I just hold 'em firm and look into the eyes when I speak. Doesn't work with adults, so . . . tip or slap. Damn, that's been a long time . . .

If you had seen his parent(s) wouldn't be surprised if they were worthless flea bitten pikeys and spat at you too..

[groomi]

If he was karting but could still spit at you, then presumably he must have either not been wearing a helmet, or only wearing an open face one. In either case, sending him headlong into the armco for a facial appointment with the steering wheel or said armco would have tought him a lesson.

[matchless]

yes, sounds like a mini Pikey to me
