What would you do? - Page 2

greatestgsd Did your son called the police after he called you? If not why? Did your son recieved injuries or bruises to the throat area? I strongly recommend that your son file up a police report on these two guys.

If there are any bruises left on his throat, be sure to point them out when you press charges.  In many areas, they will take pictures of them and they are admissable as evidence.

I meant, have the police take pictures of his bruises when you make the report.  Sorry.

It's a shame you can't trust your kid with grown men.  If you have another club to go to in your area I'd leave.  At least the one of them has showed he has no respect for you or your family...18yrs old or not he should not have been treated like that.  If some obnoxious jerk me up I'd have made the same threat, that does not warrant physical contact...sticks and stones...

Your son should have called the police right then and there, its too late now.   He also should have left them there and gone somewhere else for the night and not bothered with them ever again.  If the guy's decided to cause further problems another call to the police would be correct, and include the history which would be documented evidence.   Maybe the club would then boot them out.

An 18 year old is not usually ready to handle this kind of situation.  You used bad judgement now you have a situation.

I wouldnt leave the club and I wouldnt stir up more trouble at this point, just do your thing and ignore said morons.   If they cant let it lay then go to the club and explain things.    Its your word against thiers without a police report and maybe none of the clubs business.   

Learn as you go.  The dogs do it.

He was scared! One of the guys that was involved in it, was a UFC fighter! I told him to leave! He was to scared to! He was 6 hours away from me.  I will contact my lawyer on Monday, to see how best to handle this. I am still in shock about this, I just can't believe this has happened. Like I said, I thought I knew these guys! Very hard lesson to learn!

Aye! be a very dangerous situation that could have been much, much worse. Ye and ye son have learned a valuable lesson aye. He should never have been in that situation and traveled with older and stronger males in t' first place aye. Never rely on human kindness aye Thar be none.......In me state, it would not be too late to file 3rd degree assault charges on t' pair of bullies aye. Might also be some other charges as well aye. Perhaps some conspiracy charges, as t' 2 bullies  had obviously planned on messing with t' lad before they got to t' room aye T' age difference makes it look bad for t' two Bilge Rat bullies aye Me thinks t' 2 bilge rats probably have records and a history of such behavior, that t' legal system will enjoy makin examples of AYE!

Two Moons, we have ALL had bad judgement a time or two.  Haven't you ever walked down a dark alley you shouldn't have? That's why so many people believe we have guardian angels.  Please don't compound the sense of betrayal by blaming them for the actions of others.  These were guys they trained with for three years they trusted, not strangers.  If you went somewhere with your club members, male or female, and they did this to you, would you blame yourself and do nothing afterwards, just keep coming to training silently like a whipped dog?  I think I know from reading what you write, Two Moons, the answer to that is not only NO, but HELL NO.   It is NOT too late, the statue of limitations concerning these crimes is not so short as all that. 

It's probably not too late to file a police report. I'd go to your club president with the police report in hand, with your husband, or other male supporter, and explain to him that you will not accept this sort of behaviour...either they go or you go. Is your club affiliated with any national level Hundesport Associations? If so, send a letter of explanation of the incident, a copy of the police report, and a request for an expulsion of those members, or the entire club, if they choose to keep 'bubbas' over you & your son. I was scared, reading your post, that your son was assaulted in other ways. I was starting to hear 'Dueling Banjos' in my head. Thank God that didn't happen. I'm sure your son will never want to travel with older men again. Jeez- what a screwed up world this is! Give him a big hug from me, he handled himself as well as he could given the situation. YR, gotta disagree with you on this one....once you mess with the kid- you WILL face the mom!!! These dorks only did this because they thought they would not be held accountable; they need a spanking, if not for real, then through the courts. Besides, if you touched them, you know the first thing they would do would be to run screaming to a lawyer! Stand strong! Make them pay! jackie harris ( Sorry-adults hurting kids really pisses me off!...especially kids trying to do right!)

What a terrible experience for your son to go through.  I too have a son who just turned 18 and is a good person with a good head on his shoulders, but I am afraid he too might not have called the police because he didn't want to "make things worse" at that time, also depending on the city, these idiots may have been out the next day and looking for payback. 

Do what has been suggested, file complaints but have your son do it since he is an adult and it happened to him. It is hard to step back and let them handle it (I am getting better about that with my son), but he is capable even though you still need to be right there for him. 

I am with you..... no one messes with my family.... dogs or son or husband (no jokes about that order )..... I am a retired Firefighter/Paramedic with a mouth that has gotten me into trouble occasionally  but I still can kick butt when I need to, now I am a lot more sneaky about it as you should be.  Be careful of those two since alcohol brings out their worst.  If your club is more afraid of them then you, I would change clubs.  Also, don't forget it is your word against theirs without concrete proof, and, as much as I hate to say it, you are a woman (for all of you that don't believe our gender is a detriment, bless you).

You can continue to collect evidence against them, you never know when it might come in handy.  I am sure they have behaved this way before and will again.  I really pity their families and their dogs.

Hope everything turns out ok in the end........
