Some little f**ker gets what's coming to him, his Dad should be grateful.

I used to throw snowballs at cars when I was younger hoping for a screeching halt and then a chase. When you're 12 that's entertainment. This violence-at-the-drop-of-a-hat bullyboy driver should be charged with a "serious lack of humour offence" and jailed for Life! (Okay maybe not for Life.)

The dad will be really disappointed at court. It will be a common assault and probably a very small fine.

YOU will yeah. So what's to say the guy in this report has been disciplining his kids?

Even if your kid has just damn near caused a fatal accident (which I dunno for certain he had to be honest)?

Whoa! Tetchy.........

Would you have the same view if the child had caused the car to leave the road and kill a number of people standing at a bus stop?

He "received bruises and a black eye". Damn. Well, he'll not possibly cause fatal accidents again in the near future will he?

I'll discipline my own kids thankyou very much, i don't need anyone else to do it for me.

Sounds to me like the father is embellishing the injuries suffered somewhat. If he isn't, then I'd say a civil case is justified, but if he is then screw him quite frankly...

He did a bit more than give him a "little slap" by all means frighten the hell out of him, report him to the police, but you lay one finger on my kids and i'll put you in hospital.

Hey, you more or less copied my post, then went back in time and posted it. Don't do it again.

By the same reasoning, if someone chucked a water balloon at my car whilst I was driving, I'd be pretty fuming. The driver has only a split second to make the decision to stop slowly, or ram into a load of pedestrians from the shock of something hitting his car.
