But sometimes I wish that I could do *something*. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7797 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:41:10 +0000 looch 7797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is hanging on me right now, so apologies!</p> <p>I'd let them work it out themselves. I wouldn't get involved.<br /> There are cousins on whose behalf I would intervene, others I would not.</p> <p>I get BBC4 as well, what nights is it on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7795 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:34:54 +0000 MegWag 7795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was really well done to make it both horrifying and understandable...<br /> The kid is 4 or 5, acting inappropriately with little intervention from parents (good friends of yours). The entire party witnesses the slap. The slapper is your cousin. The kid kicked him in the shins, precipitating the slap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7793 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:30:06 +0000 looch 7793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno, my policy is to stay out of it, just my first thought.</p> <p>Did the parent of the child see the child get slapped? Is the child old enough to tell his parents? How close am I to the child, parents, the other guest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7733 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:34:35 +0000 MaisyMay 7733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd tell the adult doing the hitting that it's not acceptable to hit another parent's child, and then take the kiddo over to their parents to decide how they want to handle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7653 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:37:09 +0000 Red 7653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @Chopsuey's response. Let the adult know that that behavior will not be tolerated and then let the adult and parent sort it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7631 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:58:14 +0000 chopsuey 7631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. I would let the child's parent(s) know and let them deal with it. Would also let the adult slapper know if s/he ever laid a finger on my child there would be hell to pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do#post-7624 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:46:25 +0000 MegWag 7624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just watched the first episode of a mini-series they are airing in the UK on BBC4 called "The Slap". It's based on a novel of the same name. I thought it was very interesting and will be intrigued to see where the fall out goes.<br /> So my question is this:<br /> What would you do if you were throwing a party and an adult guest slapped the child of another guest? </p>
