My stepson broke the arm of a kid younger than him. Should he be punished? What should it be? |
He had the kid pinned down on the trampoline. He put so much pressure on the kids shoulder that the bone in the top of his arm broke in two. The little boy was screaming for him to get off, but did not until I ran outside. His story changed twice by the time his father got home. He said he wasn't even touching the boy although I seen him over him myself. He then said his hands were on his chest not his shoulders. I don't think he did it intentionally, but I think he was being mean and rough since he broke the bone. He had to be putting quite a bit of pressure on it in order to do that. I believe he should have a stern punishment, but my husband does not. The little boy can no longer play outside at recess at school, run, ride his bike, go swimming, or basically anything a young child would call fun. The break is up to high for a cast thats why the dr wants to take all these precautions. What should I do? Do I demand he be punished or not? If so, what would be a good punishment? if he ment then yes but if he ment in then a smaller punishment, he cant get away with it! :) Was it intentional! It sound like it was so my advice would be to take this boy to a doctor and have him examined for a mental illness or social problem. It is not good and he could kill or seriously mame another person in the future for life. Sounds scary and worrying to me. Since your stepson lied about it, sounds to me like he should be punished. Nothing too harsh. He definitely needs to apologize, first and foremost. If he has difficulty saying it aloud, have him make a card to say "I'm Sorry for hurting you." Also, depending on the other boy's age, talk to his parents to see if your stepson can be of help with chores/activities for the summer. That in itself may be enough punishment if he has to essentially be a servant to the younger boy all summer long! If it was an accident then I would just have a talk with him and tell him that he can't play rough like this but if it was intentionally then yes he should be punished hard for it. Put yourself in the opposite shoes THis is not how we act in society! If the boys were adults, your son would be charged with assult and even worse if he really hurt the kid. Tell you husband that one. He needs to be punished. He should have all his priviledges revoked. Maybe all the things the other kid cant do for six weeks or more, your son shouldn't either. That is very very serious and if I was that other kids mother...oh man I'd be up your butt!!!! Your son needs to apologize to the other kid and his family and accept a resonable punishment. Your husband is vaildating his behavior if your son is not punished. Parents are kid's biggest role models, and you and your husband should be a unified front in the punishment and all discussions about this. Anger and violence is not a way to solve any problem. Just remember, if this behavior continues into adulthood you are looking at seeing your son behind bars. Well if it wasn't intentionally then the punishment shouldn't be harsh. Boys will be boys. He just need to know that he can't play rough like that. I think he shouldn't be able to play outside or play video games for a week. You need to set the tone and let him know that this cannot happen again. when i was little my little brother was playing golf and the golf ball hit this girl on the forhead he got punished in a way where he had to spend all of his pocket money on a card and an present for her and take it around her house.after that he learnt his lesson hope this will help u |
