Jonno :cool:

I would think using the cell phone to call the authorities is definitly not ignoring it and would be called for...In a physical situation

I meant if the physical was happening as you watched. Ignor probably being the wrong word.

Jonno :cool:

I don't think you did anything wrong Jon ,I think the father was just scared and over reacted ,I have been guilty of that on many an occasion . Spanking the poor kid would be unjustified . Funny I saw it coming home tonite , little one dropped her tricycle and ran into the road .


Mom grabbed her and shook her fingers at the little girl right in front of me , pissed me off till my carpool buddie told me it was sign language ........... Felt like an ass glad I did n't say anything , needless to say we had tears in our eyes rest of the way home.

i remember i called my brother a dickhead and my mum shouted at me saying thats a bad word :01: glad to see i learnt my fucking foul language so young :lookaroun

i also threw someones mouthwash down the sink cos i tried it and it was nasty....

you're all pussies. if that was my kid the little fucker wouldn't be running anywhere else fast

My mum yelled at me when i was little for doing stupid things (finger in socket, not looking both ways b4 crossing the street). I suppose it was to get the point across that i shouldnt do those things...but i also think it was because i scared the shit out of her :lol:
