Partner being punished for hitting youth for firing at his 8 year old son in window?

rogerglyn

Your Partners should have phoned the Police and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited etc., for them to do absolutely nothing. However, he did the absolutely correct thing and lo and behold, the Police are on ''the scroats'' side.

Next time he wants to use an iron bar he needs it to pass right through the scroats head.

Two wrongs don't make a right ! Your partner needs an anger management coarse. Even the police don't normally hit people in the head, especially with a metal object. He could easily be convicted of battery to a minor, however the judge may cut your partner some slack given the aggressiveness and behavior of the out of control kids !

Your husband made a foolish mistake. Anything can happen at this point. I am sorry!

The law always look after the scumbags

Some people can lie better than you can tell the truth.

Of course what your partner did was wrong but I can understand his frustration. However, what was he doing with a piece of tube, that looks premeditated. One thing is sure, he will be charged, the Police love these scenarios: no work involved in finding the culprit,open and shut case, another 100% result for the C.C's statistics. Hopefully, if he hasn't a previous record he will only get community service or similar but he should have reported the matter rather than doing the vigilante bit.

Seen it hundreds of times. The fact is your partner hit a juvenile with a metal tube which was a hugh mistake even just touching him is actual assault. Let the court decide the fate..All the best.

Any time an adult assaults a minor, heads will roll. There is not much defense (in court) that one could use, aside from self defense; which is not the case here. I think you need to alert the police about what is happening about your house, & prepare to press charges against the parents of these "ruffians" should you catch them.

Of coures your partner is being punished, correctly so, he should not have hit him.
The main problem is the law in Britain is it's written by a bunch of weak kneed lilly livered so and so's, who are so scared of being labled anti any minority group that they allow the criminals to do as they like while the person who protects his property is criminalised and punished.

firstly let me apologise as i think i read yr first attempt at asking the question & left an unhelpfull answer.
I advise you are honest with what happened and put your trust in the system, you don't know wether this youth has other offences or not.
wishing you lots if luck & again sorry for my 1st answer x

Your side admits guilt. While I personally feel for your situation we have to consider some hard truths:
A, The crime had been commited.
B, There was no immediate danger to life.
C, He used a weapon.

Im sorry but even police officers are not allowed hit people on the head and certainly not in this situation. If a cop did this the public would go nuts.

Aside from this I see citizens arrest mentioned, well I wont state UK law but in Ireland you have NO power to arrest. the crime was commited, the suspects were not running away, you didnt see which one did it.

Exactly what evidence do you have that this particular kid did anything at all? None and thats why vigilante justice and kangaroo courts dont wash.

You're partner assaulted someone. The fact that they had broken a window is irrelevant. He was no longer protecting property or safety, he was punishing. If he wasnt he would have waited for the police to show up and tell him why he used physical force to detain this 15 year old. But unfortunately, he didnt he hit the kid with a pipe and took off. I would suggest getting a lawyer.

Naturally it would have been more reasonable if he hadn't of hit him, but sometimes when agitated, you react differently. I believe the Judge will see that these are juvenile punks and his abuse wasn't bad enough to be seen by a Doctor or Medic. Case Closed. God Bless and Good Luck !

A jury will have to decide that. What he did was assault though. The kid that did the shooting should have to pay for what he did, but unfortunately your partner will too. Your partner went and sought out these kids after they fled, so there was no imminent danger when your partner hit the kid.

daddyduh

As mean as I may sound to your partner, the court would never have become involved, had he hit my son. This incident would have gotten him killed. The police are equipped to deal with unruly minors, and taking it into his own hands can produce a deadly situation. He should be charged with Assault on a minor and be put into a room with the father of this child for 24 hours. Never put your hands on another mans child.

mjs

if it was your son who was assaulted by an adult-you would be pissed.

the bottom line is your partner hit a 15yr old child. the "who done/said whats" really dont come into it.

eurobichons

Your partner has to be mentally incapable.
Firstly the charge against him is correct, however, law and justice are not the same and the jusdicial process is a huge ball game of two halves. them and YOU.

Justice and Evidence are not the same.

By the way you DONT have to lay hands on the little sod to commit an assault, the mere fear is enough to constitute the offence, This is an assault and yes there is likely to be a conviction.

ex copper talking here

A grown up should not have placed his hands (OR a metal freaking tube) on a youth's body.

He (or you) should have called the police immediately. He could have sat there with the kids - till the police showed up.

Sorry, I don't have much sympathy....

Ernest T

I think her son looked out the window after it was broken. I don't think he was looking out the window as it was broken or just before it was broken. It is hard to tell because her english is so bad. Not really sure exactly what happened but lets hope her son grows up with better english skills. Sounds like her husband went to far even though I have trouble believing this is a real question. What a family of morons.

L on the 4 head (for your little head it means looser thats you)
