Driving home last night about 11 0'clock had to slow down to do a left hand turn. Half way through the turn i hear the sound of shattering glass. Some little t**d had thrown a rock through my rear quater window. As i was slowing down i could see the little twit and his mate laughing there heads off. So i thought being on the wrong side of 40 i would drive around the block this took about 15 minutes i live in country vic. So i get to near the site park the car and sneak up to the little pr***s and manage to get one. He struggled i gave him a harmless clip behind the ear. I then call the police. Of course the little twits parents are now talking of suing me cause i clipped their darling little 16 year old and police are talking of charging me. He wont be charged with throwing a rock at me. How's that for justice.

Maaaaate...terrible, seeing what you've written angers me. All I have to say is, and I know it's not too nice...if all you gave him was a clip and you're getting sued..I'd have given him a quick belt for good measure..in for a penny in for a pound, as they say.

thats , you shouldn't have called the coppers, just gave the kid a flogging like all these little sh*ts deserve and buggered off..no doubt their parents have never used any sort of disciplinary action.

i don't think you can (or should rather) touch other people's kids under any circumstances, especially over something so trivial, perhaps you should have called the cops earlier instead of engaging in a pre-meditated (15 minutes passed) act of violence on a minor.
if you could find them, cops would have found them and you would be taken the legal action out on them, rather then them on you. |

A similar thing happened to my father.
Three young guys throwing rocks at the house so he catches one and gives him a good kick up the ****. Not long later the cops are at the door to charge him as the kids father had called them. The cops didn't want to charge my father but they had no choice. He got a 6 month good behaviour bond. The kid got nothing except having his behaviour validated by his father. I'm still waiting to run into the father one day. That will be fun. |

Violence was not premeditated. I drove around the block as i would have no hope of running them down. It was just a clip behind the ear would not have hurt at all. Anyway I am off to see my solicitor tomorrow.
Cheers Steve Try gettig a rear quarter window for a Fairlane in Ballarat i have had to put a window off a wagon in it looks terrible |

sorry but it seems we are raising a generation that have an attitude where they can do what they want when they want to whoever they want, this isn't very wise as evidenced by what was said here. Sad very sad watch them grow up and graduate to worse offenses as they got away with this.

stevepet: i don't think posting that in here will help you in court especially if police cruise this site (as I have been told), they might ask the forum owner to supply your info and use your post as evidence...
if i was you I would look at getting this whole thread removed. steve is that your real name? dunno mate to me it's a lose end. |

the result of this is marked for life .. what you do afterwards is up to you once this all is over at least you will know where to find the little re*(ard I do very much understand your response but you can sort them without being charged... good luck with it as apart from his idiot mate I assume there is no witness ? so no reall thing apart from he said I said the big question he has to defeat is if you had hit them surely you would not have called the fuzz ? |

If you are taking legal action, I would not be posting any of this on a public forum.

I'm only 19, but it this had happened to me i would probably still be in lockup... if theres some sort of reason behind it (personal) then it would be a different story... but damaging someones property, let alone their CAR is just wrong... if i EVER did anything like that as a child my parents would thank the guy for catching me and flog the out of me, and I wouldn't do it again.

They are lucky that they only got a clip behind the ear!!! Rocks thrown at the TE by little brats they would have to pray they can out run the 5.6 ;)
I agree with TOM-CAT, I'm only 21 but I'll quote my old man "if I catch you damaging any property I'll knock your block off" |

Sorry to hear about your incident, I to live in the area, would go troppo if it happened to me, I always cringe as I drive under overpasses on the western freeway just waiting for some inbreed to throw a rock over the edge. The police seem to catch them it;s the court system that lets us down

Hmm...I feel for you, but others are right. As much as giving the kid a touch up is maybe what he deserves...you have to show restraint and let the cops deal with it...otherwise...you could end up with an assault charge. I would not worry about a lawsuit. Trivial litigation is not as rampant as it used to be.

Quoting mods and the truth might be two very different things.

The kids were lucky it was you who got them..... someone else might have put them in hospital and not contacted the police and just replaced the glass.

Funniest thing just happened. Got a phone call from the kid and his dad. Full apology and offer to pay for damage. Don't know what happened but sounds OK.

There you go. I'd say parents pumped up. Get window fixed, accept their offer to pay do it graciously and hope like hell the kid thinks twice next time.

These kids really do play with fire. I don't know what their motivation is for doing this kind of thing. We have seen the rock throwing incidents from bridges in the past and the deaths from those. Yet it's nothing to deter these kids at all. I sometimes wonder whether the only real lesson for them is losing someone close to them through the exact same game they play. When it hits home is when it hits home.
