[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who is violent. I remember the shock I felt when it started. I wish that we had the perfect reactions - but I’m not really sure what that would have been. Over time and through a lot of medical treatment with my son, we got better at anticipating and avoiding.

I say this to point out that you have a child that crossed a hard line. Your husband may have reacted badly. It’s time to discuss bringing the professionals and, in a calmer time, discuss boundaries. But there is a lot of heat of the moment reactions that will never be perfect. And everyone who is now saying run and divorce probably don’t have violent kids. But you do. [/quote]

An 8 year old fighting his little brother is not necessarily a violent child. Boys fight, you have to make sure they are safe. You don’t do that by putting your hands on someone’s neck. Ever.

It's completely not acceptable for kids to fight.  It's a parenting issue if you re allowing it in your home.  Dad was right to stop it.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. It's completely normal for kids to fight, especially kids that young. Yes, a parent should intervene to stop the fighting, but it's to avert serious injury (doubtful anyway given the kids' age) and to teach them better behavior, not to strangle them.  There was no need to grab the kid by the neck to restrain him. The dad sounds seriously messed up and dangerous.[/quote]
