I have to agree. This is actually aggravated assault. |
Much better to let the man put his hands on his 11yo daughter who already said no than to create a scene. Gotta reinforce that notion that mens’ happiness and comfort is far more important than women’s and girls’, and if you can’t figure out a polite and demure way to get them to stop harassing you, I guess that’s your problem, ladies. |
You don't have to be polite or demure, but getting physical is trashy. |
| Sometimes trashy does the job. The DD will know to stand her ground with stupid drunk fools. |
So what do you do when words don’t work and someone gets physical with a child? I personally think allowing men to manhandle children is trashy, and I agree that the man who got physical with the child is trashy, but what do you recommend for those times when words don’t work and someone trashy is already getting physical with a child ? |
I am quite certain when confronted by an adult the behavior would have stopped. Instead OP went full trash mode unnecessarily. |

I am quite certain that you have no idea what you are talking about. Also, I am not a lawyer, but from a quick Google search, I think aggravated assault poster has no idea what they are talking about. I am pretty sure that restraining a minor as a means of carrying out a threat ("I won't let you go unless you dance with me") is textbook assault and battery, and I believe that doing it to a minor child is an aggravating circumstance. You know what actually is "trashy"? Grabbing someone's kid (a total stranger, for God's sake) and threatening them. Dude deserved way worse than he got. The fact that you can't see that makes YOU part of the problem. |
| Mom, you did the right thing! |
But why should she need an adult to intervene? Why are you coming down hard on the Dad who physically defended his daughter from being restrained and harassed (whether it was sexual in nature or not, she said stop and he didn’t), but you’re acting like the drunk guy’s action is nbd. |
PP here, I AM a lawyer—a prosecutor actually—and in my state you are 109%, absolutely wrong about the man who touched the child (no charges would be approved on that) and OP would face assault charges, though likely not aggravated. |
You’re clueless, dramatic and can’t read. First, cool it with the “restrained the child” nonsense. Really. Cool it. This is not an instance of restraint at least not under the law so get over it and move on. I never said the drunk guy was in the right, only that OP went way too far and got unnecessarily physical. I actually wish he would’ve been charged. |
hahahahahaha
|
And what state is this? |
And as as NP and another lawyer, you are full of it. Technically, both committed assault, but chances of either being prosecuted are 0%. |
