Saynotogymclass answered Monday June 6 2005, 5:49 pm: Well I can't say youre right or wrong. What you should do is call the police. I'm sure you care about your girlfriend very much right? So that would be the best thing to do. You're in a tough situation, don't make it tougher. [ Saynotogymclass's advice column | Ask Saynotogymclass A Question ]
SaltOfTheEarth answered Monday June 6 2005, 9:24 am: I think that your rage got to you before your mind could take over. . .If that makes sense. What I'm trying to say is you acted before you thought about what was happening. It probably wasn't the best thing to do but I'm guessing you got him off her right? Next time you need to tell a trusted adult. It's the best thing to do. They can find a way to fix this. Hope I helped! [ SaltOfTheEarth's advice column | Ask SaltOfTheEarth A Question ]
Mandalove answered Monday June 6 2005, 1:26 am: It was a nice try. But ultimately youre doing the same thing he is, except on him instead of your girlfriend. This could get even more dangerous. Get her away for awhile, and if it comes down it you're going to have to call CPS. I know its a hard move, but the only way to get him to stop is to get him away from her. Abusives don't like to be told theyre wrong. [ Mandalove's advice column | Ask Mandalove A Question ]
CrzyLatinaChc answered Sunday June 5 2005, 11:10 pm: Okay...What you did was not exactly right but it sure as #E!! isnt wrong. You stood up for her and thats really great but what she needs right now is not a boyfriend who will beat up her dad but someone who will call ChildProtectionService on his drunk butt. I hope It all works out and that you take my advice.
LilBSUBabe08 answered Sunday June 5 2005, 11:08 pm: Ok, while I think you were right by sticking up for her, I dont know if beating him up was right. See, he is an adult and you should respect him even if he does not deserve it (if you want to be the better person). The best thing for you to do was probably to call the police and let them handle it. Hope I Helped and Best Of Luck To Katy! [ LilBSUBabe08's advice column | Ask LilBSUBabe08 A Question ]
Michele answered Sunday June 5 2005, 11:07 pm: Yes you are very right, but what is the next step. If he is a controling jerk, he won't want her to see you any more. He is in a position of power, he is the dad and the breadwinner and it's his house and she is a minor child, ( I am guessing). You know you can get in more trouble for hitting him (arrest for assult) than he can for hitting his daughter (domestic violence.) The assult between people un-related is a larger offense. Hopefully it is over, and he won't do it again, and he will lay off Katy, and she can set a goal to get out of that house as soon as possible. But if he does anything like this again, don't hit him, call the police.You are a witness. The evidence of her injuries are there, it is enough to get him arrested. I hope there is a mother in the house too. If he is the only parent, and they determin that she cannot stay with him and she is a minor, they may put her in a foster home. So I hope this won't happen.
You are a hero. It is good of you to help your girlfiend, I don't blame you for getting mad. He had it coming, but please don't get yourself in trouble. Call the police next time.
mob-boss answered Sunday June 5 2005, 11:02 pm: i think you were right but you cant keep on protecting her he will always beat her so you need to go to the cops immediately or it might be too late one day [ mob-boss's advice column | Ask mob-boss A Question ]
