How do you feel about your children thinking they are professional UFC fighters or Tapout Champs?   I know many kids play around doing this because they have nothing better to do. How ever how would you handle a situation if this was to happen in your yard. 

You are hanging out with your buddies and two begin to play UFC fight.. But, as it progress they increase their strength until it turns ugly.  Screams and yells being heard and then parents start to come outside to find out what is going on. But instead of stopping the boys the parent of one of the children encourages her son to continue beating on that other child.  Until that boy gets up and takes off running to where....Yes, you guess it right......to your  house.   He is crying, hurt, and since he is your responsiblity  you have to deal with it. 

So, I ask you this.... would you go over to that house because your son is still over there or do you do nothing?  I would like to know because Later in this blog I will explain how  the exile ended......

Well I grew up with boys because there was no girls my age to play with..Lot of boys my age so guess you can say am a tomboy..(no not gay)

anyways I learned long time ago to be tuff because if you not you get hurt bad..I played football not sissy touch football but hard hitting tackle..I play baseball and kickball..

I got beat up few times because we got in a fight but I never ran from a fight..And after there was a fight weather it was me and boy or 2 boys after we was all friends agin...

But thee was one family who mother was I think mentaly ill..Because she would tell her 2 boys to go fight one us..Or throw rocks at us..
This woman would call few days after Christmas for 4 years every mother in the naborhood or that is house it was in the coyuntry..

Anyways she call our mothers telling not asking telling them not to buy us lots of gifts for Christmas..Her kids got litttle I not know why her hubby worked at a gov. job made good money..

Anyways she crazy because my parents only got us kids 2 to 3 gifts the rest came from santa..

But there was always fights with her sons and she was the one who start them..It got to the point non us wanted to play with her kids because of that...

You bet I’d go over and I would even if my son wasn’t over there. I’d also call the parents of the boy who was hurt, if he was hurt badly enough and depending on his age.

After I checked out the situation for myself, I’d be real clear about them getting involved with wresting (or some other contact sport) at the school or some place so they could learn it right, use up their energy, and be supervised.

Then I’d tell the parent who encouraged the fighting to look up lawsuit in the dictionary. She must not have a clue how easy it is to sue and how she has the responsibility cause its her property.

Sorry but boys fighting and wrestling is a part of growing up! I did it and all my friends did it, boys and girls alike. We did not have cable/play station or any other thing to turn our minds into mush. We were always outside playing/fighting/wrestling with one another. We all learned how to get along and I think our generation is better for it.

Yea, sometimes we got hurt and sometimes we went to the doc to get patched up but NEVER did our parents even think about suing the parents of the other kid! Most of the time they asked us; who started it and why? Depending on the answer we were then asked why we thought we needed to fight. Sometimes it was justified and they sided with us and others they explained why we should have walked away. If it was justified and we lost the fight some parents would show us some boxing moves or told us that we should try harder next time.

It's all part of growing up. You learn who you are and just what you can and cannot do.

go out on my space or the other teen websites that allow you to upload videos, I have heard that there are many out there that have kids fighting. Funny, I never understood that whole idea of fighting, so you can be in pain later on? similar to a hangover, it is really worth it?

Yes, I agree boys will be boys, however, parents with today's world parents need to be a bit more observant and supervise them.

Harp your right no parent should be encouraging their son to continue to "Jack knife " that other boy until he runs away to your home.

1 I was but not anymore the only SAFE HOUSE in our town. I removed myself from the Mc Gruff Take a Bite out of Crime Program. I was the only safe house for 10 years and now this town has Zero..

I will still explain more on what happen but I like to get more opinions on how you would handle the situation.

It is no longer the old days. People sue, kids dont just fight a little. They come back and get revenge with weapons. Its no longer part of growing up, its part of dying now. I also believe its against the law to knowingly allow your kid to fight with another. Again, the age of the kid is important. Not saying I agree, I dont - I think fighting was an outlet that kids needed, but that was when punching was good enough. Now there is no clear line and kids go overboard.

I think the only intervention that a parent should have is to make sure that it is a fare fight and that at the end they have the kids shake hands and make up. I do not think that they should encourage the fight at all but to watch so that nobody gets hurt real bad.

Kids have to learn how to protect themselves and know when enough is enough.

Well kids nowadays don't just have a fist fight they pull out guns and kill! (My Opinion)

Perky you need to stick to your guns and no parent should encourage their child to fight it only leads to more viollence and that is the last thing this world needs.

Maybe the parents like to fight too since they want their kids to.

Keep us posted

Love ya girl!

I went over there to talk to all the parents and the children.. When I seen the one mother I asked her straight out.. I can't believe you encouraged this instead of stopping it and getting control of the situation.. Then all havoc broke lose.. She said, I am not going to let another kid kick my son a$$ you better believe I am going to encourage him.. There is a big difference in fighting and play fighting that gets out of control..

As, I am waiting on them to all round up I went straight to my son to talk to him and by then I have all these parents standing behind screaming at my head and I would keep putting my hand up and saying shut up I am talking to my son. Anytime I tried to move I would have 4parents hoovering over me.. By then the cops are called and I am still trying to talk to my son when the officer comes up to me. I told him please give mea moment I want to talk to my son and fight out what happened.

By then the cop tells me you want to be arrested and You are going to arrested whether I say yes or no.. sO i gave my hands, he handcuff and I started to drag to his car and saying come lets go to your car.. Lets get this over with so I can get home. But, he wants to TAZ me! Is that all the cops Know how to do anymore is TAZ? I pressed with all the charges and tickets. But they never got down to the problem.. I still was not able to talk or remove my son for that place they would not let me leave. Pretty sad... I will take this tickets in pride because I know I was right and I tried to Protect a Child and I will go to jail over this more and likely.
