[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I talked with my WJ kid — who was not there— about the fact none of the kids called the cops. His feeling was that no one would want to be seen as the one calling the cops. We discussed that you can text 911 with something like need help, address—send police now. And then send a video if possible to do so safely. My teens were really happy with that information as they thought they could do any of that discretely. Please talk to your kids about this. But it’s also important o recognize that peole in a traumatic situation often don’t think rationally. When I did first aid training they taught us to yell Call 911 and identify a specific person to do so because if you tell call an ambulance, a shocking number of people blank on what the number is, and also if you just yell it into the crowd, everyone will assume someone else called. And that’s with adults! [/quote] This is a good reminder to talk to our teens about texting 911. And +1 to the first aid training. You have to tell one specific person to call 911. [/quote] Yes when kids are "assaulted" they do call 911 but when they know its just a fight between teenagers they don't. [/quote] I take it one of your darlings is under investigation.[/quote] Oh hon. Your kid wasn’t assaulted he fought and lost. Get him into MMA and/or tell him to go home not to a fight after a game.[/quote] I don't know who this poster is. But this is the problem Telling a teenage girl who just got beat up that she needs to take some MMA classes Violence is normalized among some people. It's a big problem. [/quote] Telling a teenage girl that it’s okay to walk towards a fight and get involved but have no culpability is the problem. It’s normal for rich kids to not take responsibility in their part of a bad situation. Do they deserve to be beat… no just like a drunk driver doesn’t deserve to die.[/quote]
