    Left victim with a nosebleed.

    This seems, quite unlikely. If dunking is all that occurred.

    I’ll be making the rather unpopular assumption that the family who raised the kid who dunked a stranger his own age in a public pool and then involved law enforcement also stooped to lying about the injury.

    That dunking is probably the most competent parenting that child will ever receive.

      I was surprised by the lack of a cigarette, and the fact that she isn’t looking at the camera with obvious contempt and disdain

        She was pissed they would not let her speak to the manager about how she did nothing wrong. She was the hero.

    Kids can be obnoxious pieces of shit. Yes, that is not an excuse, but I can’t blame her unless it will be proven that her attack was completely unprovoked.

      Article says the six-year-old victim dunked her six-year-old under first. I’m guessing that was the provocation. As a dad, I’d be pissed, but not assault-a-kid pissed.

        Right? Get your kid out of the water, make sure they are safe, get the other kids parents near the pool then accidentally trip them into the pool. It’s not that hard people…

      What provocation would justify screaming at someone else’s six year old, grabbing them, holding them under water for several seconds and leaving them with a nose bleed?

          So you scream a the other kid’s parent, or maybe dunk them if they won’t reprimand their own kid. At least they’re an adult. You don’t assault and injure a 6-year-old.

            First thing I’d do is keep my kid safe and extract them from the situation. If the other kid gets hurt in the process (because they’re grabbed on weird and get dragged, for example) I don’t care. But that’s different from going back and assaulting the original kid.

            It has nothing to do with me. And I’m not stating that everything is as it should be. Reread my first message more carefully.
