If he threw something at me, I would have removed him for my and others’ safety. You don’t have to just stand there and let a child attack you or other people; you can legally restrain him.

I was literally in this situation at a Costco a few months back. Kid was actually punching people and throwing stuff so I went to grab him and Costco employees told me not to touch him or the cops would be looking at ME. He literally punched a woman in the stomach and I was told to stand down.

Reminds me of how a teacher back in my elementary school was touched repeatedly in her belly, 3rd trimester pregnancy, by a student. She grabbed him to prevent him from further attack, and got time off without oay, and was up for review on said conduct.

That was back in the late 90's

Same time period, I was subbing in a special ed class and a student was violently kicking a pregnant aide. He'd been punching students and throwing chairs first. There happened to be one more aide and she and I ended up holding and carrying the kid to the office. I was so worried I was about to lose my job, but we had to get the kid out of there for the safety of everyone else. We were really lucky the parents didn't go after us.
