Depends how fast the car was going and the area it was in.

Kid was stupid to throw them at the car but he's a kid and they do stupid things like that from time to time. Dosn't mean he should have been given a beating by the man.


To settle it the boys dad and the driver should fight. :-P

It isn't though. Used properly, it works. How many things do you think that kids going to throw at cars now?

Fact is, one good smack in the face has done more than any amount of 'rehabiliting' or 'encouraging proper growth' ever would.

My opinion is that it isn't right what that man did, HOWEVER I don't feel sympathy for the child as he could have distracted the other man enough to cause an accident. Round here there are a lot of youths that hang around on the bridge and chuck stuff at the cars, some woman and her baby died in a car crash when something was thrown at them, so there are serious dangers and I can see where the father is coming from. I don't agree with what the man did and it is wrong, but maybe this will show the boy how serious the problem could potentially turn out if he uses something else, besides a water bomb...

Yes both parties are seriously in the wrong, but one is a kid and the other is an adult.

I hope that my kid dont grow up to be a rebel. I will do my best to teach him whats right from wrong but i cant control him. If he does wrong then i will do whats right in making sure he learns from his mistakes, but harming him wont be the answer. He will then think thats ok to go round beating people black and blue whaen clearly its wrong.

Very true. I don't have kids, but if someone's well being that I cared about (as you say, they are few and far between) was threatened by a child throwing something at a fast moving chunk of metal, I'd be just as protective and angry.

Both parties in this case need to have a few things explained I think. The child that its not clever to chuck stuff at cars, and the adult taught not to be so aggressive. :)

The Kid

First thing that comes to mind is idiot. Throwing things at cars is wrong. I dont care if it was a water bomb, stones or bricks what he did was out of order. If a car was travelling and see Something coming unaware of what it was and swerved he could have caused alot of damage and injuries, or even a death. The kid should have known better then to even consider throwing things.

The Driver

"loser" Spelt it right this time Should know better then to do that to a child. Shout and ball at the kid yeah but to knock ten bells out him was out of order.

If anyone ever raised a hand to my child then i would go F***ing crazy. I would punish my kid in my own way but beating a child is absolutely wrong. The kid deserves a telling off and a talking to about the dangers of throwing things at traffic.

After all 2 wrongs dont make a right!

I think i did the same, there aren't many things that can really get me angry but thats one of them, i'm extremely protective of the people i care about, as they are few and far between.
