[quote=Anonymous]16 yr old DS went on school trip to NY last week. When he came back he described me a event where he apparently almost got into a fight with a man in NY metro. I was surprised and upset. DS is quite mild manner and never into fighting with anyone. He would never even raise his voice againt agnyone.

He explained that when their group of friends were returning from somewhere in the night in the metro and a middle age man took out his phone and started taking pictures of the girls in their group. It made the girls uncomfortable and DS walked up to this man and asked him to show his photos. The man resisted and my DS insisted on seeing the pictures. Apparently the man eventually opened the phone and DS scrolled through the pictures and found several of his friends'. He deleted the pictures and handed the phone back to the man with an warning not to do this again.

I should be happy that he stood up for his friends. But somehow it upset me when DS explained he would gotten into physical fight if the man had not given him the phone. My DS said he had back up since there were other boys in their group who were ready to jump in - it kind of irked me why they all did not interact with this man together.

I know this is already over, and I should be proud of him. But I am conflicted with fear that the man could have had a weapon with him and could have hurt my DS.
