[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do nothing but go to your son. Find out exactly what he says happened, what he thinks is best, talk to the RA.  What the other kid did was assault and battery.   [/quote]

So was touching the other kid's head.

And yes, if a guy won't stop touching you, a punch is the proper response.[/quote]

That is just demented.  Punch is almost never a proper response unless one feels truly threatened.  
Punch is basically a last resort and usually something I would not expect from educated, civilized person.[/quote]

Repeatedly touching me is not what I expect from an educated, civilized person, either.

You're a woman, right? You don't get how it works with guys. Every guy knows, with other guys, that if you cross a certain line, verbally or physically, the guy is going to punch you. If some guy repeatedly touched me, I am definitely going to punch him. And I have a PhD, so plenty educated and civilized. [/quote]

I'm a woman with a PhD and if a guy touched me repeatedly against my wishes then you'd better believe I'd be hitting him pretty hard to get him away from me.

Not sure why it should be any different for guys. I teach both my boys and my girl that unwanted touching is not okay, and that they're entitled to use force to get someone away from them if necessary.

It's different if the other guy in question totally went to town on OP's kid and landed him in the ICU with several injuries, but I don't think you can complain about one punch that happened to be a lucky shot. OP just needs to teach her son that no means no. [/quote]
