172-125 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 It's when I read things like this that makes it worse http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/man_hurt_in_street_attack_1_3200099 My husband, his dad said he will be ok, at least he got home & his phones nothing. I suffer with a mental illness problem so to me everything gets blown way out of proportion. His mates lost him in night club, which is not unusual, they all normally split up towards the end of the night & make their own way own, but they are shocked at what's happened to him.

walkertelecoms Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Horrid story, and my own are getting to their late teens and it bothers my wife and I too, but feel we can't keep them wrapped in cotton wool for ever. We just try to teach them to keep away from trouble and don't be involved in anything stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxy Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't think you are over reacting at all. I would be very upset if it were my child. I think I would report it too. Don't any of his friends remember anything? Has he phoned his phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 To what end? How can you not report a crime? Especially a violent crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 How can you not report a crime? Especially a violent crime.By the kids own admission he doesn't know what happened. Maybe he started it? Maybe he fell. Sometimes its worth letting sleeping dogs lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimay Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 To what end? If he remembers which club he was in someone else might have reported a fight. Any information given to the police may help if someone else was more serioulsy hurt. He should still report it though - even a tiny bit of information may be what the police need to help them to locate the attacker. Can he or his friends remember which club they were in and at what time ? CCTV may assist any information. My son was thumped in the face at the end of last year. He wasn't as badly hurt as your son sounds to be but I can understand your upset and confusion as to while a friendly and unthreatening person could be attacked for no apparent reason. I hope that his injuries aren't too serious - has he been checked over by a doctor ? - and you can both recover from this very upsetting event. I don't think I need to say anymore without the whole thing becoming too protracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if someone else could have been hurt. Think about other parents who could be worrying because their son was beaten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
