What would you do if you discovered your children had committed criminal acts?

Hi, Fighting is common among the young boys and they don’t realize what harm they are doing to the other person. Punishment to one boy will not help the school to stop fighting. Ask your friend to talk to the school head not to punish your son but write a sorry note to the hurt boy. Two years back my son’s eyebrow got badly hurt and he’s bleeding and we could only reach the school after 50 min. from our work and the school authorities informed us (me & my husband) that his eye was hurt; we had a terrible drive that time. But we only called the boy who hit him that he should be friendly with my son and so with everyone at class. His parents thanked us and visited our home the next day. Today both these boys are best friends and of course they are 11 now.

How old are the boys that were fighting? Children fight, always have and probably always will. It is not an effective way to settle differences but they learn this as they grow up (hopefully). If both boys were fighting then one should not be disciplined without the other being disciplined either. It doesn't matter who "won" the fight, broke bones or caused more harm to the other. Both were fighting, both were involved so both are at fault. If the mother of the boy with the broken arm wants your friends son kicked out of school, both boys should receive the same punishment and her own son should be kicked out as well. It seems extreme to me to kick them out for fighting but again, it depends on their ages. If they are just small kids (under the age of 11 or so) then it is a learning experience for them both. If they are older than about 12 then they should know not to try to solve their differences by physically fighting.

Hi jsae, thats a difficult question because I could say one thing but then after being in the situtition it may be a totally different story... But have she tried to calling the local police department and ask for the youth officer,,they may be able to direct you in what to do or which direction you should be looking...is he a teenager???

Shouldn't they both he expelled for fighting? I obviously don't know the situation but I would want to know y the broken armed boy isn't in itrouble for fighting then also? Its hard to imagion that a person would just attack n break some1s arm unprovoked. Ur friend is right to pay medical bills but both boys were fighting at the school right?

but the other chiled who star that , the boy is wrong because he broke his arm , but he was defend himself .

they must understand how is start first, why they fight and why anyone don't stop the fiht. the reason for fight may be any but violence among children is growing....

hi jsae I don't have any children now as my son is 53 but I wonder what started this fight, I mean usu ally most kids do not hit or beat a classmate unless they were hit first or tormented or bullied. If I were the mom I would want to get the details, why did her son beat the other boy?Did the other boy bully him first.Also why was the boy allowed to beat the child til he broke the other kid's arm? what is not being said?She can get all the details first then go from there.usually when someone gets so violent they break another's arm there is a lot more to the story that has not been told.
