I never mentioned it to anyone as it was an offside remark to me anyway, but whenever this cop says hello I just say hi and cringe inside.
My dad hit me with a belt once and chased me with a shoe, I had my fair of spankings. I think dislocating a kid's jaw is different.
How would you react to this knowledge? I say it's their business, but at the same time, I wouldn't be friends with them - and I'm not.
If you seen him do it personally, the right thing may have been to knock him on his ass and BTF out of him. Well, maybe not. But I think that might have been my reaction if not at least getting between him and the kid and letting him know further actions will not be accepted and that he's a jerk. Sounds like the guy is a bully. You know what, the first thing I said would not be the correct thing. Why? Cause the mother out of fear would back the husband and say you were interfering in family discussion and YOU somehow dislocated the kids jaw. That stuff happens all the time. The victims protect the abuser.
Since it was told to you, it should be the responsibility of the person who told you to report it. Your information is 3rd party and doesnt mean it actually went down the way it was perceived by the second party (how am I doing Fred)? So, you are basically judging this guy by a rumor, because that what it is I think.
Am I right or did I read the OP incorrectly?
