Very tough call, but you have to decide when enough is enough. This happened with my nephew a few years back during his senior year of high school. First of all I can say 100% that my nephew would not start trouble or hurt a fly, he's just that type of kid. He never even needed a curfew because he was always home early anyway. One day in the middle of the high school hallway this punk decides to punch him right in the face with no warning because he was seen talking to his girlfriend at lunch. My nephew's nose was broken. When my sister told me this I lost it. After his suspention was up I went to the school as it was getting out to "talk" with this punk. But my temper kicked in and things went in a different direction. I ended up picking him up by the throat and asked if he knew my nephew, and told him I wanted him to get his father down to the school right now. To make a long story short after the police deciced not to arrest me he never so much as looked in my nephews direction again. I'm not saying this was the right thing to do but that's how it went. You don't want to let it go too far then say "I should have".

[QUOTE="islandJim, post: 1171626"] Very tough call, but you have to decide when enough is enough. This happened with my nephew a few years back during his senior year of high school. First of all I can say 100% that my nephew would not start trouble or hurt a fly, he's just that type of kid. He never even needed a curfew because he was always home early anyway. One day in the middle of the high school hallway this punk decides to punch him right in the face with no warning because he was seen talking to his girlfriend at lunch. My nephew's nose was broken. When my sister told me this I lost it. After his suspention was up I went to the school as it was getting out to "talk" with this punk. But my temper kicked in and things went in a different direction. I ended up picking him up by the throat and asked if he knew my nephew, and told him I wanted him to get his father down to the school right now. To make a long story short after the police deciced not to arrest me he never so much as looked in my nephews direction again. I'm not saying this was the right thing to do but that's how it went.
