that way they learn that they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

Yes i would report my child, hopefully i have brought him up to be a better person than that.

If my child has misbehaved then he is disciplined, it teaches him right from wrong, if he did something wrong and i 'didnt get involved' then he would think that what he did was acceptable behaviour and he would carry on displaying that behaviour.

It is a parents job to ensure that proper discipline/punishment is carried out and in this case the proper punishment is prison.

don;t get me wrong ; if one of my kids did somethin to the elderly or a child or rape then thats a differant matter ; i would go to the police then ;
 
so rape or attacking the elderly is wrong but attacking a guy and blinding him for no reason is ok?

Pussycat...I think every parent thinks their child is good......and they maybe a different person when they are with you than when they are with their friends.
I think you should be congratulated on your honesty.......but I could not live with myself if i knew my child had maimed another person and was boasting about it, and I did nothing about it.
And waiting for fate to dish out a punishment is not really on.
Natural justice is sometimes a long time coming.

I hope you are never in that situation.
 
I wouldn't hesitate to report my son or daughter for a vicious attack like that. Just because it is your child doing the attacking it doesn't excuse the behaviour.
 
I would be straight on the phone to the Police if I knew any of my family, kids or otherwise had done something so cowardly and wrong.
I couldn't live with my conscience if I had done nothing.
 
If you know about a violent crime and do nothing then you are as guilty as the person who committed the crime.
I am sure there is a name for it in legal circles but I am having a 'grey' moment and can't bring it to mind.
 
I don't think your children realise what parents go through until they have children of their own.

I think these two men will eventually realise that their mother could do nothing else for them but report them to the police......and that while she may be mortally wounded at their actions, deep in her heart she will still love them.
 
Didn't see the report Margaret, but do you think this may have been the last straw for these two lads, and that she has had trouble with their behaviour in the past, and had to take drastic action to bring them in line ? Could be they have a past of bad behaviour and she was desperate.

I tend to feel a little like Pussycat on this, but how do you know until in this situation yourself. Like all the mothers on here, I would die for my kids, and quite honestly I DO NOT KNOW what I would do.

Should we still have capital punishment in this country, and it was a crime that brought this sentence ... makes me shiver to think about it but: "Hung from the neck until dead" . could you really do this to your child ?

I think there are lots of mothers who know full well what their kids have done, due to CCTV and media information, that do not report their children.

I think that her family were bad though in not supporting her once she had made this decision.
 
if any of my sons beat somone up and blinded them i would first ask why they did it

if i thought the sod deservd a good kicking i certainly wouldnt report them over it

if they attacked a stranger for no reason then yes i would report them


before anyone says no one deserves to be beaten up i think some people do and we will have to differ on that one ;)
 
I have done it and been thanked by all concerned for doing what I did, as most here know I am in favour of capital punishment, and I dont really think you could honestly say that, you would have your own flesh and blood birched, or hung etc, very good point katex.
 
just seen an advert for mondays gmtv.. the mother is being interviewed and meeting the wife of the man she attacked, i will miss it cos its on at 9 am and i dont get back from dropping ty off till half past..
 
I'd have no qualms, whether it be graffiti or GBH.

Anything less is letting down those you purport to care for.

Tough love, not easy to do, but worth it in the long term.
