Whargarble said:Charges should be pressed. No matter who the assaulter is, or whomever the victim is, this type of situation should not go unpunished.
This shouldn't even be an issue of "doubled standards". The fact that the mother chose to take what I'm sure she felt was the "high road" is, in my opinion, still the wrong decision.
I don't care if its women attacking men, or men attacking women. This is harassment, plain and simple.
Get angry that this even happens in the first place, not over who the attacker or victim was.
In total agreement of everything you just wrote.
