[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would file a police report for my kids if I would file one if an adult had done that thing to me. I don’t think that it being done by a kid or to my kid makes something not an assault.[/quote]

What a ridiculous response. These things are not in any way equivalent. If a stranger walked up and punched me in the arm, I might very well call the police but if a child does this I would not. You are not very bright but think you are clever. [/quote]

Stop equating elementary school kids punching vs. choking. One of these is way more serious than the other. A kid who chokes another kid and threatens with a weapon garners a way more severe level of concern. My kids have been hit in school and I was not feeling like I needed to do more beyond ensure the school was separating the kids, tell my kid it was ok to hit back, etc.

But a kid with hands on my kids neck trying to CHOKE them?? For one, I'd take my kid to see a doctor to ensure no larynx injury, and for another, yes, I'd consider a police report and I absolutely would file one if I didn't get a sense that the school was doing enough for that kind of behavior.  If you have a kid who CHOKES other kids, you have some sort of dysfunctional family life. If you dismiss a kids another kid, you are a part of the problem.[/quote]
