Hey Redditors. Any tips on how to deal with a bully?

Since moving to a much more violent area from a place recovering from a notorious school shooting, told both kids I would never hold it against them to retaliate physically to a physical attack, if I got that report from school.

But over the holidays wished I'd had the nuts to record the customers, to do a long play back of them beating the pre-school and toddler kids. It made me ill in a nasty way.

Once at a middle class restaurante while greyhounding it and the junior high kids over hanging relaxing with gramma on the West Coast, it about my b-day. Chillin'.

So I go to get something to eat, hot and sweaty from a long walk through this humidity from the hotel. Get a refill of my iced coffee drink. A family settles in next. There is a one year old there. My youngest is 11. I was always very sensitive to my children, and to re-inforce nearly lost them in a custody dispute ten years ago, where I didn't know where my babies were for monthes. So ************, you know?? ***** see

I hear the one year old clear as day, while I'm sipping my iced coffee drink, say "I want my bottle." Obviously not like that, but I hear her clear as a day say "Iwamababa." If you've had kids you understand the sudden free translation ability.

Her family was next to the one year old ignoring her. A mix of white and black. The white mom totally ignored her. The black dad began to brutalize her. They all igored her for a period and she naturally stepped it up and began to weep repeating the same basic words she knew.

Eventually her father responded. He responded by speaking to her in a vicious voice and snarling threats at her for whining. All the rest of the people there went with it. I felt ill.

She began to sob in hysterical fear of her father and the other people in her reality. He responded with more violence. I felt ill. She screamed hysterially in fear of her parent, her father. He responded to her fear by suffocating her, by slapping his hand over her mouth and suffocating her.

I'll be honest. There were a few times in my life I had to do that. Nothing nice to remember.

But back to here. Eventually the 2-3 year old stopped the screaming fit and her father took his hand from over her mouth. The mother never said a thing. Nobody did. I was shaking a little.

I asked for my check and went back to my hotel and deeply reconcidered my choice to mover here instead of Oregon.
