Black Tea
I was walking home from school today, and this kid on his bike just rode by me and punched me in the face for no reason. He rode back to his friends behind me and then proceeded to ride by and hit me in the face again. What are the laws against this? Thanks in advance.
I guess I wasn't really clear. I'm wondering if it's any different for minors. I know he's already on probation so would that make a difference?
Answer
It would be covered under "Maine G.S. 459. Assault."
§459. Assault
1. Prohibition; assault. Any person subject to this Code who attempts or offers with unlawful force or violence to do bodily harm to another person, whether or not the attempt or offer is consummated, is guilty of assault.
Therefore, the next time it happens, call the police. Let them deal with the offender.

What do you do when a kid is addicted to video games?

What if he never leaves the house & is "afraid" of the sun because he's never gone outside?
My 7 year old son is curious if other kids have this problem and wants to know what other parents would do! Thanks!
BTW: My son is asking about a friend of his... not him. We have a Wii that just SITS there off all but one or two hours a week! =)
Answer
That's really sad. It's sad but it's true, children are victims of society, gaining a lot of weight, and the most disappointing observation I've made is most can NOT solve problems without the aid of an adult or a computer. You may not think of this as an answer, but more like an ode to simpler time that really wasn't very long ago.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and drank kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because we were always outside playing. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were okay.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We didn't have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, not even a Gameboy. No 150 channels on cable, no cel phones, internet, DVD's, MP3's, or PC's. We had FRIENDS and we went outside and found them, even on rainy days where the worst part would be getting a soaker.
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Imagine that.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever. The past 20 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. If you are one of us . . . congratulations.
Share this with your kids so they will know how brave, and lucky, their parents were.
