I don't even think I could beat up a kid like that even if someone would kill me if I didn't.Quote:

I was verbally terrorized and beaten by a babysitter I had around the age of 3 or 4. It was some lady that ran a service out of her house. It's not something that makes me feel uncomfortable to talk about but it's one of my strongest series of memories from that time. I will NEVER forget the fear that I felt. I don't think I really knew true fear until I met this lady. The other children and I tried to do our best to avoid getting beaten but it seemed random and sporadic. My mom found some bruises on me I think and she found someone else. The lady's name was Elaine. I still remember exactly where her house was all these 25 years later. There's a TD Bank there now.
My story above is nothing compared to what many children have to endure from their own parents, siblings, and other relatives. It's something that needs a hell of a lot more focus on from our society so it can be stopped and prevented. No child has done anything to deserve being abused like this.

Should the buss driver have stepped in? If he beat the crap out of the three kids, do you think charges would be pressed against him?
Yes, by those kid's parents most likely. He was sorta in a "fucked if you do, fucked if you don't" situation.Quote:

I wound up on the floor of the bus and got kicked in the throat (almost in a simlar way that kid was being kicked). I was left all by myself gasping for air, with no one to come help me. All the bus driver did was watch what happened and report the kid to school authorities.
This is why I study martial arts and that's why my kids will learn self defense. The world can be a pretty terrible place filled with shitty people, and no one is going to help protect you except you. I'd rather know how to defend myself and not have to, rather than have my life threatened and be completely helpless. That's one of life's lessons I learned at a very young age.
it's florida who cares
