  • AITAH for telling a lady at the park that I was going to get physical with her and having her arrested when she called the cops?
  • My best friend is a woman I have known since middle school. We have been friends for forty years. Literally. She and her husband had a child very late in life. Like she was
  • 42. Kid is great and I was the fourth person to ever hold him after his parents and grandmother. I have been in his life since hours after he was born.
  • I am a very large child. I work at a fly in fly out job and I make a great living. My kids are grown up and on their own. My wife loves having the kid around and treats him like a grandchild. I
  • like having him around and treat him like a sibling. We play LEGO and Nintendo. I've had to relearn everything I forgot bout Minecraft.
  • I also am the go to babysitter when I am on my off weeks. It works out because I have nothing better to do when I'm home.
  • The problem is I am a 6'", 300 pound Hispanic man that looks exactly like what you would expect an oilfield worker to look like. Marcus, not his real name, is an eight year old kid with long red hair and green eyes. He is so white that he looks like they raised an albino in a closet.
  • I had him at a park by my house this weekend while his mom and dad some down time. He was having fun and when it was time to go he was a little jerk and wouldn't come. So I chased him down and threw him over my shoulder while he struggled and giggled.
  • That's when this lady got in my face. She told me to put him down. I didn't want any problems so I did. She said she had already called the cops and tried to take him away. She
  • grabbed his arm. Hard. He was calling out to me so I told her to let him go or we would be having a physical confrontation. All of a sudden she wasn't so anxious to be a hero.

  • Marcus hid behind me and we waited for the cops. She had her phone out and was recording me. When the cops showed up they separated the three of us to talk to. I had already called my wife. She was livid. She is tiny Welsh woman that doesn't take crap from anyone.
  • The cops had already figured everything out when my wife showed up. They were still trying to get ahold of Marcus' mum and dad. They are away for the weekend. Anyway my
  • wife pulls out her phone for the cops and shows them an album she has of me and Marcus for the last nine years. Then she points to the bruise on Marcus' arm where the woman grabbed
  • him. The cops said the lady was just trying to help. I asked them if I had given him the bruise and they showed up if I would also get a pass.
  • They ended up arresting the woman. Handcuffs and everything. No clue what happened after that. Now I'm wondering if I could have handled it better.
  • Am I the asshole for what happened? How could I have done better?
  • No1Especial ⚫ When I worked retail, we had a BIG rule: Never accuse! We could say, "Are you having fun with your daddy today?" "You taking good care of Grandpa?"
  • If the adult answered, didn't give the kids a chance, grabbed the kid hard---then we might become slightly alert.
  • But if the kid answered, "That's my uncle!" or "Yes." or anything that indicated they were with that person, we were done.
  • NTA and show up for every hearing! Make sure that photos of the bruise are entered into evidence. Nosy ol' biddy deserves every bit of punishment she can get.
  • Puppet007. NTAH Even if the woman thought she was trying to help the kid, she should have never put her hands on him.
  • realmccoyredbus she should never have put her hands on anyone especially a child who was scared of the woman, she probably won't get prosecuted but quite right in arresting her, hopefully she learns a lesson
  • Emma FrostsChair NTA. The Karen wanted to play hero for social media points and as a result fucked around and found out. Good riddance | hope you all press charges on her for the bruise on Marcus. I know I sure as fuck would.
