If you read the earlier discussion I posted then you know about the neighbor lady slapping my grandson. They didn't tell me the entire story. My daughter did have words with the woman. Stepped up to the brod and told her she needed to get out of our house. Well, that makes me feel much better. My grandson was all wanting us to call the police and my daughter didn't have a chance to tell me the rest of the story. I was really weirding out about the whole thing. Was I, a sixty year grandma, going to have to go down there and have words, possible fisty cuffs, with this woman? LMAO So all is well in our world.

She's a foreigner and if it happens again you can wager the authorities will be called.

Sorry to hear you have had to deal with issues like this my friend. I know many times you do have to watch the way you act around others to not look like a trouble maker. Yes, she had no right to hit your grandson and hopefully somehow things will pass and everything will be OK. Just try to help nuture your grandson in the right ways to keep things more at bay.

I think you are right. He needs to know that isn't right. That lady better hope she never does it again. She lucked out this time.

It makes you feel like it.Good for your daughter let this woman know she cannot get away with it.I have thought about it she should never have done this,your daughter really wants to give this woman the third degree and threaten her with the police ,she may well have been a nasty bully where she lived before,if she thinks she can get away with it she and her type will rule the neibourhood.Good luck with it.

I don't believe threatening and coming down to such a persons level solves anything. I like to be the better person in it all, not just like her. She won't rule anything. She was given a chance and now we will see if she does such a thing again. If she does she will pay the price.

Oh i am gald this is now settled. this woman is really weird, or twisted. her actions are totally uncalled for and no kid deserves to be done this - slapped! not even adults would be able to handle it gracefully. i might even file charges of child abuse if this was my child!

She really is odd. If this happens again some dire consequences will prevail. She better make a better choice next time. I won't be so calm then..

good celticEagle I thought about that last night when I could mot sleep . so your daughter did tell the lady off, good for you
and yours.that makes me feel better too.I do not care what nationality she is you just do not waltz into a stranger's house
and slap a child.If it happens again get a restraining order
against these people from the police.

We will see how things go. I am glad to hear my daughter did step up. I was pretty weirded out until she told me the rest of what happened.

I would have a hard time dealing w/anyone slapping my grandson no matter what the circumstances were. I have always had a hard time dealing w/anyone who i thought were mistreating my kids. IT AIN'T HAPPENING. i WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST LIKE U ONLY U USED MORE SENSE THAN I WOULD HAVE, LOL.

Me too. I really felt I had to calm down and jump before I had thought it out. I have a odd situation here and I don't want to do something that might hurt that. I don't like people mistreating my kids either. I am glad I gave it some thought first.

That woman had no right to slap your grandson! Maybe that is how they do it in her country! At least your daughter had words with the woman! You are a grandma what you are going through is probaly normal for most gandma's! You want to protect your grandson! Nothing wrong with that!

And this is some of the problems I foresee of foreigners coming here. I really have to be careful around here. Housing is like GOD and if it looked like I had started something with her I could get evicted. So.....??!!

How come the woman could smack your grandson? Even though you grandson did something that offended her,her best course of action was to tell you what had happened and let you give him a lecture.

Oh wow CelticEagle! What kind of woman hits someone else's child? I'm glad your daughter gave her what for! No one has a right to hit a child rhats not theirs. It's bad enough when a kid gets hit by family...but wow! When they aren't even family!

Ya, it was hairy to say the least. I guess she hits her daughter quite often. My grandson has seen her do it. My daughter did tell her to leave. Her being from another country maybe they handle things differently==ya know? I am glad it all turned out okay and that grandma(me)didn't have to go down there and take the lady down. I have to be careful around here because we have housing voucher and if it looked like I started it we could be evicted. Ikes!

How awful for this to happen. I was appalled to find out this other lady slapped your grandson, I would be so up in her face it wouldn't be funny. She has no right to touch your grandson even if it is allowed in her country. This is not her country and she has to abide by our rules and stuff here as far as that goes. She is so abusive if she hits her own daughter often, just disgusting. I hope one day she is thrown in jail for it. I'm not to surprised she would try that on someone else's kid if she does it at home. My mother would yell at us for alot of things, and she was trying it with my cousin's kids who were getting a little rowdy one day. I told her you can't be that way with other's kids. Alittle rowdiness is not her problem, and the dad was there so it's his responsibility to say anything. They were getting alittle loud but still, they were being kids, in my opinion. Nothing was harming anything.

She is a foreigner and would n't have understood any of the 'up in her face' at all. I figure telling her to leave this time is a save for her and if it happens again the police will be called. She didn't have any right. This is a low income apartment complex. It has gone from all caucasion Americans to mostly foreigners from like Iraq, Afganistan, Africa, etc. We are now the minority and everyone around us speaks some foreign language. If I had gone down there to give her a piece of my mind it might have been reported to housing and it might look like I was the instigator. Our housing voucher could be in jeopardy and we could get evicted over it. So we have to be careful. Rest assured that if this happens again the police will be called.
