Be ever vigilant...
I mean it...

If ever any of you think that it's ok to let your child walk out the door without asking where their going or who they will be with... think again...
Two days ago... my eldest son..of 3 (17)... walked out.."back in a few Dad" 30 minutes later I had the Police department calling me... the picture I think speaks for itself but I should tell you..
He was thrown through a window by an intoxicated 36 year old that just happened to show up at one of his young friend's houses to start trouble with their parents...
The result..? for him? Scarred for life..badly it seems, who know's mentally what the damage is...
For me... I havent slept since it happened and doubt I will ANY time soon...
The guy was arrested but shortly threreafter bailed out by his Mother. I don't intend to seek retribution as I believe the law should work for the people but I will say.. (and I have never met this guy)..BUT..If I ever do.. I WILL kill him, given the opportunity.
Again... watch after your babies.. no matter how tough they think they are and do anything you can to fight violence \ abuse in your immediate surroundings.
Thanks for letting me vent... this post was preceeded by tears but had to be posted to someone for my own sanity.
V.

It dosent sound like there was anything you could have done to prevent this from happening. Even if you knew where he was, you would not have known THAT was going to happen. I know it had to be upsetting and painful to see that happen to one of your children. I would want to kill the guy too.
When my son was about 8 years old, the neighborhood bullys beat him up pretty bad. This happened about half a block from home! If I had been there, those kids would be dead and I would be in jail. There would have been NOTHING that could have stopped me.
Do your best to remain calm and level headed. I know it's hard. Go after that #@*&$# through the legal system if thats what ou want to do.
Your son is in my prayers.

I feel sorry for ur son and hope he gets better. I can understand how you feel.

I felt this one John.
My son Curtis Jr. is 27 years old, paralyzed from the waist down, struck by a bullet when he was 14.
There ain't nothing that can make me feel good about it. Ain't nothing that'll stop me from crying.
Shit man, I'm at work writing this and crying for you.
Lifes been good to me, I have to admit, but nothing matters when your child gets hurt, it ain't fair for no child. Give 'em a chance.
Anyway brother, I want you to know that I'm right there with you. You tell that son of yours that Uncle Curtis is thinkin' about him.
You keep your chin up and keep on being vigilant. 2007 there's no such thing as "over-protective." Protect them while you can!

My heart goes out to you & your son V and to you cPlair. I agree that we need to be vigilant of everyone in our communities. Because of increasing extreme violence where I soon will be moving to, the mayor went to New York to meet with the CEO & Founder
Curtis Sliwa of The Guardian Angels to gather info & come up with a plan to protect the people. That is just an example of what communities can do to protect themselves. It is time that we control our streets & homes as well as following through with the justice system.

John, I understand your emotion completely but you should rephrase the part about the killing. You can be held accountable for those words. Don't think the Man doesn't have bots pillaging the web looking for specifically those words.

Sending out good thoughts to you and your son John.
I've got four daughters and the I know the best I can do for them is to teach *THEM* to be ever vigilent. They need to keep their eyes open and make sure they make the best choices possible to avoid or get out of dangerous situations.
I think parents liek to think they are in control or at least have some control of their kids. That might be true, but the real danger is from other people's kids.
Again . . good thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
As an aside . . those stitches would make an interesting skin.

You won't find many fathers that feel differently.
All you can do is your best and hope for the best ... and if you're so inclined, praying doesn't hurt either.

but I will say.. (and I have never met this guy)..BUT..If I ever do.. I WILL kill him, given the opportunity.

I can understand this sentiment because I (inwardly) thought the same thing regarding arsewipes who did wrong by my kids. Fortunately, for my missus and kids sakes, however, commonsense prevailed and unnecessary violence did not ensue....cos ultimately it would have been at their expense.
The best thing you can do for your son is be there for him, to assist his recovery (both physically & mentally) in the absence of anger....thoughts of retribution will hinder this process rather than help it.
Having said that, I hope all is well for your family and that your son recovers fully from this ordeal.

i'm sorry to hear that John all my prayers and thoughts for him, you and your family seriously. I can really feel what you feel. I'm a dad now and i understand that if someone touch my daughter he'll need to run really quickly believe me
Now as it happened to me something what is happened to your son i can tell you that too:
all can work out. I've got some scars (and some really bad), but 5-10 years later you'll can't see them before i show them to you. look at my picture on my page i've one of them on neck, i've also one on my face from a guy who has crushed my face on gravels on 5 meters at school (at 12 years old). An other guy gave me a blow of knife in the leg,... (i can continue but who care )
Not with the same height as your son got ok. But the time can erase them.
For the mind scars, take care of him, talk with him when he need it the family and friends are the better things who can care them.
again all my prayers and thoughts for him, you and your family that's really sad
