Father turns in own kids for bullying - What would you do?
    #14153630 - 03/20/11 12:40 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Father turns in own kids for bullying

Excerpts from article:

Quote:

An Ipswich father claims he was so irate when he caught his two children attacking another that he turned them into police to be charged.

The father, known only as Matt, told Brisbane radio station 97.3FM he witnessed his 17-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter bashing a 13-year-old boy, breaking his jaw, because he wore glasses.

Enraged after experiencing similar bullying in his childhood, he marched his children to a police station to have them charged with assault.

He said he also sold his son’s car and daughter’s horse as further punishment.

"Yesterday afternoon I’m on my way home ... come ‘round the corner three streets from home [and] there’s my 17-year-old son and my 15-year-old daughter and they are fair beating the living crap out of this kid," he said.

"I pulled up, I damaged the car [as] I put the car up the gutter. I grabbed a hold of both of them, threw them in the back of the car, got the young kid that they were beating up ... took him home to his parents [and] marched both my kids into the local police station.

"They have both now been charged with assault."

.........

He said it was not the first time the teens had bullied the younger boy.

“About three weeks ago it was brought to my attention, through the school they attend, that they have been bullying a child at school,” he said.

The children later admitted to bullying the younger teen because he wore glasses, the same reason their father was bullied as a child.

.........

The father said he and his wife would stand behind the parents of the bullied child if they pressed ahead with the charges.




Basically I wonder, what would you do in this situation if you were the dad?  Obviously it was very serious bullying if they broke the kids jaw, they certainly deserve some serious discipline for it, but I have problems with parents turning their on children in to the police for anything short of murder.  Personally, I'd probably do everything the dad did except for the part where he drives them to the police station.  I'd probably leave it up to the parents of the other kid to report it to the police if they wanted to.  How about you?

Another opinion of mine: picking on someone for wearing glasses is probably the stupidest reason to pick on someone that I can imagine.

Well I don't completely disagree with what he did since we don't know the complete background of the situation. I however would first give my children a talk about it, if the problem persists then I would definitely turn them in to hopefully teach them a lesson. Children fighting is one thing but kids ganging up on younger kids for such a stupid reason is just absurd.

Bullies should be jailed.  Every time.  Period. 

It's easy to dismiss it, but if you have lived through it you have no sympathy.  I had a horrible home life and was a little withdrawn from my classmates because of it. I was bullied relentlessly just because of that fact.  I lived in terror pretty much.  People who do this shit are scumbags.

Good for the dad. 

I, however, don't agree with parents calling the police for drugs or most other situations, but violence is unacceptable.

I'd have handled it before it got this far.
But broken jaw is serious business. Cops will get involved, might as well call them and get in front of it.

Before I read that they broke the kids jaw, I thought, "what a fucking rat snitch mother fucker to turn his own family in". But yeah, breaking the kids jaw is a bit much. But seriously, dealing with bullies by calling on bigger bullies seems a bit ironic.

I'd have taken care of the kid's medical and punished my kids by forcing them
to be his servants for several months, nothing like making them the inferior 
of the kid they were assaulting, I certainly wouldnt have had charges brought
against my kids. if they felt that was unfair then the other option is to get
jobs and surrender the paycheck as restitution to the kid for 6mos

Well, I'm sure the bullied kid's parents would have called the police anyway.  The kids were going to jail regardless.  May as well let the kids understand that what they did was unacceptable, and that you don't support the behavior.

I would have done exactly what he did. What a fucking great father.

We could get into the logistics of how his children grew up to be bullies (i.e. Was he a poor father earlier in their lives?).
But that's beside the point.
They're grown teenagers going around beating people up- they deserve whatever the fuck they get.

As for the line at which you are allowed to turn people into the police...
Assault, battery, etc. are definitely grounds for turning someone in!
Any violent crime (or, to a lesser extent, any crime involving a victim) is!

This isn't a family issue when your beating someone in public, that's a public issue.  Would it be different if those kids has bashed the kids nose into his brain and killed him?  At that point can you call the cops on a family member?  This kid they beat is gonna have issues (if he didn't already) for years after being assaulted and having his jaw broke.
