n2kajaHow do you convince a 17 year old that he is the victim of a crime? Pride is normally a good thing but right now it's in the way of understanding what happened.
The facts are the 1st guy went to hit Ian, Ian blocked the punch and hooked him with a right (Ian is left handed) He hit so hard that he broke the metacarpal bone leading to his
little finger, it's depressed which means he connected hard. So he did defend himself the best he could and the guy went down. The problem came when 2 of the guys hit him from behind, on both sides of the
jaw. Once down Ian remembers trying to get back up but with 3 "wimps" on you it was impossible.
He has bruises all over this skull from the elbows and kicks he received.
This was completely unprovoked, Ian knows his attackers, he was shaking hands with them not 3 minutes before. They all walked out to the parking lot together. Ian's friends whom he went to the party with
were already out in the parking lot getting in the car. They came to pull the "creeps' of Ian as soon as they realised what had happened. Thank god they were out there. This all took place in a matter of seconds.
Ian is BiG He's Tall, he would be a trophy I suppose to take down. But not when it takes 4 people to do it. I hope these guys understand that they didn't make themselves look any better to anyone.
they just made themselves look like 4 wimps.
Ian is just a month away from legal drinking age. He never drinks he just doesn't (no I'm not a mom in denial) I just know he comes home and never smells or shows any signs that he's had any thing to drink.
He doesn't go out much at all, never been one of the kids that has to get out of the house every weekend. But he did drink some vodka cruisers at the party this night. He doesn't really rebell against Paul and I in anyway. He told me before he went out that he was thinking he might drink and not to worry because the person he was riding with had decided he would not drink that evening. He has heaps of friends and gets along with everyone. And I like all his friends that I've met. They are good kids.
Why did these guys suddenly turn on him? I don't know.
I just hate the way Ian feels right now.
also Ian is worried that since he was drinking and under age that it will become a huge issue.

Date: 2009-03-29 09:44 pm (UTC)*sighs* Poor Ian, he needs to press charges... He can't let them get away with this shit!! What if they get away with it this time, and the next time they jump someone they (God forbid) seriously injure or kill the person? If he doesn't do it for himself, he needs to do it for the rest of society... maybe he'll feel less "proud" if you state it that way??
I'm so sorry... I wish I could be there to console you...
