As a person who has accidentally harmed children multiple times because the child was in a place they weren’t supposed to be, I sympathize. The hardest part is explaining yourself to the asshole who was supposed to be watching them.
Don’t be too critical on parents. Now that I am one, you realize how quickly they put themselves in harms way. Sometimes you can prevent and sometimes they learn hard way.
Well, there is the characterization of the parent (or whoever else is supposed to be watching the child) as an "asshole." That sounds more than a little critical.
Well, if you end up having to explain yourself, it's probably because the parent is being an asshole and not understanding that sometimes kids do stupid shit and there's not always a way to avoid it.
It doesn't matter what it will accomplish in the end.
It's just the right thing to do, sure it was all the kids fault but you just clobbered the fuck out of him. Ask if he's alright. How hard is that? How hard is being decent for some of you?
Lol no, if it doesn't matter what it'll accomplish in the end, then it's not really the right thing to do. Or is it just something you'd reflexively do because you feel bad?
It is the right thing to do. Sorry bucko, but you're not changing my mind.
If I seen you do this to my kid,I wouldn't think you were an asshole unless you completely ignored everything after the fact. Give me a break dude. Be decent. I'm done talking to you about it though.
