You guys must be new to the internet. This video is old as hell.
Anyway, I always thought the father was more right than wrong in this situation. He reacted instantly so there’s a chance he didn’t notice the guy even had down syndrome and even if he did how could he have known that guy was going to stop with just a kick? It’s a messed up situation but I’m sure a father would rather protect his kid than do what’s politically correct.[/quote]

And i dont know who hh is and you yes YOU are the one who follows me from thread to thread posting bullshit about me being HH or whoever that is. If you or him don’t care what I think then don’t post in any of my threads. It’s just that simple. Do I follow you posting in all of your threads? That’s right…no I don’t! Every single one of my last 10 threads I guess, you follow me around like an annoying gnat! I wonder if there’s any way I can block you??? So if you don’t like me or what I say, then stop posting in my threads! It’s not complex, it’s really quite simple!

Down’s or not, if some dude kicks my 4 year old son, he’s going down. And I’ll do whatever it takes so he’s no longer a threat to my kid.
[/quote]
Agreed.
I just watched the clip and I’d say I wouldn’t have time to recognize or not whether the person that just kicked my son had down’s syndrome. I’d have fucked his ass up just the same. Furthermore, I’d like to add my son’s mother works in a group home setting with developmentally disabled adults and they can be violent and often require physical “restraint”. Just b/c someone is disabled does not mean you allow them to harm others - especially a small child. What started as a kick could have escalated.
The father here did no wrong.
That father was completely justified in both his action and its intensity. Whether or not he recognized that man had Down Syndrome. My guess is that he did not or he probably would have shoved him rather than punched him, but there is not enough information to tell.
If someone were to kick my 2 year old son out of the blue, I cannot imagine the thoughts and emotions that would flood my head at that moment, but I can imagine I would react quickly and intensely to put an immediate end to the situation. And yes, I would possibly have punched him even if I knew he had Down’s. If that sounds cruel to some people, then too fucking bad. My son’s life and safety takes precedent over all other considerations.

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment I somehow think a solid push of the fellow with down’s syndrome would result in the same level of safety for your child as pummeling him to a bloody pulp.
I’m all for protecting your kids but some people on here are seriously quick to over react.[/quote]
You’ve lost your rabbit-ass mind. If an adult kicks your 5 year old son, what the fuck do you suggest? The father struck the guy one time. Once. He did not “pummel” him. Here’s a guy and his son is attacked and you’re one of the those sideline Monday Morning Quarterbacks critiquing what he SHOULD have done PERFECTLY as opposed to WHAT HE WAS REQUIRED TO DO IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT.

As a dad, I can relate to the child-protecting sentiment.
But c’mon! He’s basically a child himself. If you saw a small boy attacking your child, would you punch him? [/quote]
C’mon ID…a grown man (that what it looks like to me) kicks your little boy and you’re going to ASSESS the situation? Granted, if I know the kid has down’s sydrome, I’m not going to clobber him and I’m going to exhibit some restraint, but do you think in the heat of the moment that assessment is possible?

You know, there is a simple way to resolve this clip11 = Headhunter issue. Can one of the mods just check the IP addresses for each account and see if they match?
I’d love to see this happen.

Aww 
The boy with the Downs actually acted like any kid would if seeing another child mocking about in his territory. Well that’s how I interpreted this. Kids sometimes behave that way. It’s just child play.
The father’s punch was just too brutal. I really cringed watching that. Poor guy.[/quote]
A very large strong child capable of ending a 3-4 year olds life with a single kick.
The guy with downs may be mentally a child, but not physically. The situations aren’t the least bit the same. If the guys intention is to protect and ensure the safety of his child, the fact that the guy has downs is irrelevant. Him having downs doesn’t diminish the danger to his child (it probably actually makes it worse).
You guys can argue all you want that the punishment for the downs guy should reflect his condition, but the immediate issue the guy is dealing with is his child’s safety, not punishing anyone. Defense of his child comes first. Defense is based on the level of the threat, not the mental state of the person causing it.[/quote]
Good reply.
Like I said, my son’s mother works in a group home setting with the mentally disabled and they can be dangerous. Aint no fucking way you want one of them to act inappropriately physical with your small child. No fucking way.
It’s a shame the guy or kid (can’t tell his age) got hit, but it’s a bigger shame he was not properly supervised. If he’s at risk to attack a child (and he did), there is a supervision problem there. Whomever his guardian/caretaker was is at fault, not the father.

Fine I still think nobody should answer in this thread.
As a father of a child with downs I feel bad for both parents in this situation, NOT every situation needs a bad guy or someone to blame. Shit happens. Monday morning QB is always easy to sit back and say this or that.
Again when we go into social situations it can be very stressful because you cannot predict how a special needs child will react sometimes. This is not about parenting, the downs child will not respond to parenting like normal children. They have no long term memory in a sense. [/quote]
If you know your child is capable of random violence, then it is your responsibility to the public and your child to make certain he’s not in a position to do others harm. I’m not being insensitive here…not one bit. As I said, my son’s mother supervises 3 programs, ranging from teenagers to adults. They have a good idea of who is capable of what, and who requires what level of supervision. I’d bet my last dollar that this kid had exhibited some behavior in the past that this incident was not a complete aberration.
I do agree with your sentiments about monday morning QB, but the OP as posed was directed to the Father’s actions. The father acted reasonably. Did he act perfectly? No. But he did NOT HAVE PERFECT INFORMATION EITHER

How is that a relevant question? I would have a problem with an adult-sized boy attacking my small child.
