I just saw a teenage boy choking a girl in front of my house and calling her names that I can't repeat here. It was the yelling that drew me out of my home. It was the rage in his eyes that made me go up to him and yell for him to let her go. It is the after shock of what just happened that has me sitting here typing because I'm not sure how to process this....
The girl wouldn't look at me. She wouldn't get out of the car they were in. The boy threatened me and now I'm concerned he will come back to our home. I'm scarred that when I told him I was calling the police and memorized his license plate number that he memorized my face and my address and that he was just going to drive off to bet her up somewhere else... then maybe come back another time.
Will I come home one day to a trashed house or banged up cars? Is it okay for my daughter to play outside? I don't know... but how do you not stop something like that? And how do you process everything that you just became part of...?
I'm sorry you had to witness that. But you did the right thing. I'm sure you and your family will be fine.
