The wedgied kid's dad called the police not because he thought it was criminal, but because he thought it was "inappropriate." In a cowboy town like NP, it's perfectly legal to defend yourself in any manner and people expect you to do so before you call the police. My heart goes out to Tokin42. I "served" 17 years there and it is like a big wedgie. It’s not satire, it’s real.

That rules going to them out in most cases. Like Frank said, if your kid defends himself, he might be the one getting cuff slapped on. I can't really blame anyone for calling the cops in this case (assuming it isn't satirical, as suggested above).

Legally, this is assault, and if the kid had defended himself from the wedgie, guaranteed he'd be in juvie hall awaiting trial. Lack of any support from adults, particularly authority figures, are how Columbines are created. Think about that for a minute before you stark joking around.
