    That presumes Dad and Unc would be sticking to their 1976 weapons. Either way, you're right: It would be uglier today.

    It's a different world. My folks would have handled it another way. Hell, my kid was four 20 years ago - I would have handled it another way.
    Today? Lawyering up. Sorry if that makes me FUBAR.

    Dude, Moddy, I'm not even 30 yet! I'm only a little bit older than your kid.

    So much so that one parent talking to the other parent isn't even an option . . . if only to say the effort was made?

    There are threads in which I feel like Wally Cleaver placed in the middle of a South Park episode. This is one of them.

    So this is what it has come to, suing a 4 year old.
    I wonder how much fun this kids life will be in school once the other kids find out his parents sued the other kids parents.
    Go talk to other fucking parents and sort it out.

    Sure, get a lawyer. Our society isn't litigious enough.

    Because South Park and a throwing star were mentioned ...

    Just curious, because I have no experience in this area: If another kid breaks your kid's arm, what do you say when you go talk to the offender's parents? How does that conversation go? What is your purpose, do get them to apologize? To get them to punish their kid?

    I hear everybody's dissenting opinion and understand.
    Perhaps if this was an isolated thing, I'd agree.
    It sounds like, from the opening post, that this kid has been a pain in the ass pretty much his entire life. I don't suspect talking to the parents will do any good.
    Maybe that's just me.
