My police with my son and daughter was simple.
If they start it, you finish it. I'll handle what follows.
If you start it, then I will finsih it.

They never started it and I only had to talk to the principal at 2 different schools about my son. Needless to say, neither principal was arguementive when I left.


Yep, I am goin down there.
Gotta be there at 3 pm

She should have first and for most been taught to walk away in any type of self defended type of class.

When I was younger and took a different type of class the first and most thing they taught me was walk away first if that can be done at all best.

It seem's your daughter is just at much fault as this boy, if not more.

I mean what would you say if your daughter school called and they told you she killed this boy who was just playing around and just so happened to pinched her.

If your reaction is the same then maybe your daughter shouldn't be going to school or learning MMA in the first place.

Bottom line school is meant for learning as every body knows and your daughter was not in the right, either was this boy.

Either way she was in the more wrong since this boy could have been more serious hurt and you could get sued and all for injurys etc.

This is crazy and no body was really in the right here.

All you can do is show her that what she went through is not normal and that you love her, would never hurt, and will always be there for her and to back her up.

Sorry I know you are in crisis now & it's not funny to you, but in 10 years it will be! I doubt this incedent will keep her out of college, but it may help her gain respect in the eyes of the boys. Keep the legend alive & they won't try date rape on prom night!

Id handle this very carefully with the school. Let them know that you & her instructer will speak to your daughter about the need for self control & only using her skills when nessasary. Make sure that the boy knows his behavior will not be tolerated & he should get equal punishment. Stay calm & quiet but firm. Let them know you'd prefer to end it quickly at this level, but will go further to protect your daughter. Gain respect now or they will try to make an example of you & your kid.

The boy should not have done what he did, period. But using martial moves to a throat, I believe went a little extreme. My boy's took martial arts and were trained to use this when they felt "threatened" or placed in a dangerous situation.. not for something like that. I think that this should be further explained to your daughter..

The boy should get into trouble also, I agree or he will continue to think that this is an OK thing to do,which it isn't.

OK....SAY MY DAUGHTER IS CORNERED IN THE HALLWAY BY THIS SAME BOY , AND HE HE TRIES MORE? YES A SIX YEAR OLD CAN DO MORE THAN JUST PINCH A RUMP!
THERE ARE CHILDREN OUT THERE BEING ABUSED DAILY AND ARE BEING TAUGHT TO DO SO BY OTHERS. THEY MAY THINK IT IS OK, BUT ITS NOT!
THEN SHE SHOULD JUST WALK AWAY?
HER INSTRUCTOR IS A TEACHER AS WELL.
AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO"JUST SO HAPPENS TO PINCH SOMEONES RUMP!

I AGREE , she KNOWS better than to use this unless something is VERY wrong, but at the same time you have to know her back ground.

Wow, you are SOOOO far off base here.

I don't condone hitting in the slightest, but that little girl needed to teach that little punk his place.

She was more in the wrong... how is a little kid pinching azz more right??

I'll buy her ice cream as I explain that hitting is wrong. Instead of embarrasing him physically she should embarras him emotionally from now on. It hurts more, and has more of a lasting effect.

Good that her instructor is also a teacher. He may be the key to this. He should understand the policies & how to navigate this. Good oppourtunity for both kids to learn here.

I know this little boy comes from alcoholic home. And I have seen his parents abuse him in public, so I know he has to have some issues. I feel for him a bit, but then again, if a man were to pinch mine , I would def use Kempo! Don't care how bad he got hurt.

That is a different scenerio...being "cornered" would bring on a sense of fear, in that case yes, she would have been right in doing what she had done.. but was this just in the classroom? Like I stated above, he should NOT have done what he did.. he was WRONG for doing so. But your daughter should have gone and told the teacher of this wrong doing.

Key words there are "man" & "little boy". The boy was wrong, but he is only 6 this is a time for learning boundries. Make sure the school understands he must learn, & make sure your daughter learns what is an appropriate response. Don't teach her to be a hot head, but don't let her accept abuse either. It's going to be hard for a 6 year old to know the difference & teachers should realize this.

If these kids were older and she slapped him across the face after he pinched her it would be acceptable, she may have use a little excessive force but I bet he never touched her again.

My daughter is 6 . She started first grade today.
I just got a call from the teacher...
Seems that my daughter did not like that another first grader pinched her rump, so as a result she used a bit of Martial Arts on him.
The teacher was VERY upset and asked If I condoned this. I said, well that was the MAIN reason I put her in Junior MMA. To PROTECT herself !
Now mind you, she stated to me that he was not in trouble, but now they may punish my daughter.
How the HECK can she be in trouble for doing this? I asked if he was bleeding, she said no, that my daughter hit his throat. Which can be fatal if you use too much force.

And they are ONLY 6 years old.
I am not saying what she did was right, but even still. He started it...
Right????what




frustrated claim sexual harrassment .. pinched her rump????

WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pitchfork

I woulda taken on more than the throat :banana:

It's better to learn the lessons NOW the older they get, the less tolerance the school will have.
