Step father hit my son?

Question

Leave...if he's already divorcing you for whatever reason, there's no sense in staying and having to deal with this situation again. I have a hard time putting hands on my own child. If anyone were to physically discipline your child, it should be you and you alone.

I would say move your son to stay with a family member close by so you know he will be safe and for you to move out as well. Things like that start off small and just get worse, i grew up with my dad hitting my mom and i hated it, my mom left him and then years later had a step dad, he never hit me but just to spank me if i did something wrong , when i grew up he started to actually hit me and wanting to fight me over dumb stuff, i wouldnt fight back just push him away and let him tire him self out, well one day he was really mad and hit my mom then thats when i went after him, but anyways i would say alot of step dads are great but when little small things start to happen usually it means big trouble in the future, put a restraining order against him to keep you and your child safe.

Answer 3

call the police again and get your son to speak up about it and make sure he uses lots of details. he should go to jail because of it. but get away from him as soon as possible.

Answer 4

the good thing is that the beating wasnt any worse. now is your chance to up and leave. your son should come first. there is no excuse for that type of behavior. good luck!

Answer 5

When you say he hit your son. If it was a smack on the leg for been a naughty boy. I don't see a problem . If more parents did this we wouldn't have any problems with kids been little shits.
