Adult beat up teen in street

rozmister

Call the police.

It's one thing to go out and tell a child off for picking on your nephew and if I caught a child picking on my niece or my friend's kids when they were playing out I'd definitely tell them off but you never beat a child up like that. He's 13 not 30!!!! Whatever he's done he shouldn't be punched and have his tooth knocked out!

Kids do pick on each other when they're young and if this child is grieving he may have said some pretty nasty things, kids who lose a parent at that age can be very angry at times, I know I was. That does not give a GROWN ADULT the right to assault that child and put fear in them. As somebody already mentioned if she has her own children or works with children she may be influencing other vulnerable children in an inappropriate manner. Phone the police ASAP so they can get photos of his injuries and leave it to a court of law to deal with. She may be bully on the street outside your home but she won't get away with that behaviour in front of a judge.

Police - serious assault, should be a police matter if the victim was an adult, too. But especially when a child.

why is this being asked on the internets? Anyone would have called the police instantly. !!!!!!!

This is definitely a police matter.

It should have been 999 at the time.

I am amazed that there is even a question! Get him to a doctor and get the police involved asap. The doctor will document the injuries, as well as deal with anything that needs treated.

The fact that one party is an adult and one a teenager doesn't matter. If this had been adult/adult or teen/teen then the police still should be involved.

I really cannot believe this question has even been asked!!
assult is assult no matter the reason, I do perhaps think more has happend but a grown woman beating a child is just not on.
He needs to see a doctor asap to have the injurys logged down and YES call the blooming police

I'd probably keep my mouth shut. No 13 year old lad would want the world to know he got beaten up by a woman.

I wouldn't think twice about calling the police and reporting this woman. You would have to question the mental stability of a person, who can over react in such a despicable way to a child, who simply made a daft flippant comment to another child. She has committed assault on a minor and an incident of such a serious nature cannot be ignored.

Same as above police immediately cant understand why there would be any question

Is there actually more to this than you have been told as any parents would normally call the police in such a situation. Was the father of the boy afraid involving the police would also mean his son was questioned on something he had done to her relation (or even others)?

If it's as straight forward as you say then it's a police matter
