[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The last time I witnessed something like this, it was on a DC metro train. I told the mom she had to STOP it. You are a coward for not doing the same. The only acceptable excuse you might have, is if you felt your safety would be in danger. Then you call 911. You are a first class coward. Shame on you. [/quote] NP here. You are Anonymous and call her a coward. Hypocrite. OP is trying to do the right thing. [/quote] OP lost her opportunity when she walked away, having done nothing. Yes, doing the right thing often demands that we step out of our comfort zone. Do you think I wanted deal with the mom on the metro train? No. But I knew I had to. I didn't get stabbed or shot. I was ok. After I spoke up, other people on the train, said, "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing". Hopefully, next time we will all do the right thing. [/quote] Ok, you were perfect. Does your self-righteous scolding help the current situation that OP is trying to address by posting this on a widely- read forum? No, it just makes her feel bad. [/quote] +10000 And for all of you who call her a coward etc, did you not read the post from the person that said confronting an abuser often makes it worse?!?! It's easy for you to sit there and anonymously blame this lady but maybe you should think about it first. It might make you feel like a big person doing the "right thing" and confronting someone but what if that just made her take it out on the girl when they were in private? Someone who is truly abusive isn't going to suddenly stop because a random stranger stops them in the park and tell them to stop. Maybe those of you criticizing someone for trying to do the right thing need to use your brains and think about the consequences of what you are suggesting. Or maybe you just don't have anything better to do and want to stir up drama. OP - thank you for posting this. Ignore the ignorant people on here looking for a fight. As an MB I'd want you to do exactly what you did to try to alert the parents and not risk making a situation worse by confronting the woman.[/quote]
