When you get children acting like this they have learned this behavior from someone. They are usually learning from abuse either by being SA or witnessed it. For it to be that bad what ever it is has been going on for long time.

NTA. She did that kid a favor, by teaching him what will happen if he harasses women. However, it makes me wonder if the mom is SAing her son, since she doesn't seem worried at all about his strange behavior, and even defensive about it.

It only takes a second for an attacker to get the upper hand.

I feel like that CPS needs to be involved. It's not normal for a six year old to have hyper fixation on touching other people's privates like that. That kid surely must have been abused and needs help ASAP. And the mom not caring? Red flag. She clearly was a bystander to her son's abuse or worse, took part in it. Wouldn't be surprised either way.

NTA. You were SA’d, and it was self defense. Age doesnt matter here.

Children do weird things, but that wasn’t just a weird thing, he has seen it in his home or he’s being sexually abused. Time to question and the mother.

100% a a victim I experience hypersexuality but I’m old enough to understand that that’s not a public thing or a thing only you partake in, children don’t understand that and I truly hope the only reason this boy acts like this is because of popular media meant for adults

Nta CPS immediately because that kid had to learn that stuff from somewhere, like a predator. Or the mom just doesn't give a damn and he has full access to the internet, but call CPS just to be safe.

NTA. You taught that kid of one of two possible lessons that day. 1. That he will never touch another persons private areas unconsented again. Or 2. You gon fuck around you gon find out.

If you don't teach your kid to someone else will ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

NTA, there’s obviously something wrong with the kid, his mother is also at fault because she’s allowing them to touch people inappropriately and doing nothing to stop it. I hope CPS were called because it sounds like there is more going on at home. My reflex probably would have been the same. No one, no matter what age should be touching people in their private areas.

Kid has to learn and police need to tell CPS because that's a huge warning of abuse

The mother's defense of the child's behavior smacks of the possibility that she was the one who taught him how to do it.

Ngl this happened to me. I was at my friend's birthday party and one of the guests had a little brother. I had developed more for my age in my chest, and the boy the whole time kept poking my chest or grabbing it. I told the adults and my friends, and the most they did was tell him to stop. Otherwise they said, "Its fine, hes just a little kid he doesn't know any better." But that was it.

This happened to me at a campground I was seasonal at, I would usually hang out with the owners. The owners had a grandson that was about 2 and while i was hanging out with the owners their grandson looked over to me and grabbed my boob we were all shocked that he did that and laughed and assumed he was hungry wanting milk. He stopped immediately when I flinched and his grandpa yelled hey to him (he didn't yell loudly just enough for the baby to stop and wonder what's going on) the baby didn't like many people so we took it that he liked me. He was too young to know that it was wrong for him to do that since he was still able to be breastfeed he might have thought he was able to do that since he can do it to his mom but surely when he gets old enough to know what's going on around he won't be doing that to people anymore.

People need to teach their kids boundaries. When I was in elementary school I had a classmate tell me that I should allow and be ok with her little sister touching my chest. It was super insane that she just told that to a group of 4th or 5th grade girls. I don’t think the younger sister tried to touch anyone other than the older sister but it just creeps me out I was ever told this by anyone regardless of age and gender. Oddly the older sister also randomly accused me of being a lesbian.

CPS needs to get involved. it may be a sign of CSA

NTA, you clearly didn’t know that it was the child until it was too late. Also, what did the mother expect? You can’t just sit there and let your son go around and touch people inappropriately without any consequences. Cps should be involved because that’s not something a 6 year old just casually does…..

Nta if you were sexually assaulted and your initial reaction is to protect yourself then yeah I would too. It’s completely inappropriate and the child had been doing it to multiple people. If she didn’t throw that punch the kid would have done it to more people. I completely agree with the girl.

I would venture to guess there’s something very strange going on in that household

That kid is GOING to end up in prison!VERY SOON!

No NTA you just teached him a lifelong lesson, not everyone will take his crap and Mommy will not always be able to help him out of trouble. Or who knows maybe it could be the sign of something else so the Police at least got involved to investigate 🔬

NTA for your reaction, it was immediate self defence. However, if CPS was not called, then YTA. When I was a child, I was SA’d by another child, the only reason they SA’d me was because they didn’t know it wasn’t okay, because they were being touched like that daily from their own mother. A child that young, doing something like that, is most likely suffering from SA on a regular basis.

Definitely not! Though someone should look into that, as other people said what the kids is doing is a common sign of SA on minors.

He’s 6. Where did he learn how to do that? That so-called mother needs to be investigated.

Nta. The mother should have been paying attention to her child and preventing him from being grabby and in appropriate.

I need kinetic sand and a glass.

Call the police on that kid, he gotta learn that somewhere😬

NTA. You just taught a child a valuable lesson about boundaries. Hopefully he learns before he ends up on the registry for pervs.

Nah, thanks the punch the police was called and got rid of the annoyance

NTA. That kid is definitely being abused as an aside

Hopefully, the kid learned his lesson and stopped that shiz

NTA. You reacted out of instinct and the 6 year old is the one who touched you.

NTA. Boys shouldn’t act out that way. I’ve got a horrible feeling something is happening to him at home.

I would call Child Services the kid learned that behavior somewhere

You saved the wedding!!!

The family needs to be investigated. That’s a number 1 sign he is seeing inappropriate things (Like parents just let him watch) and/or he is being sexually assaulted at home.

NTA It was a reflex, for starters.

Is master chief reading me an aita Reddit post?

0:46 if your here from the short

It was the little kids fault you are not in the wrong

NTA You'll still be NTA if you broke the kid's nose

You are not the a-hole that kids mom and the kid are a-holes

I would say " Oh no, you're going to jail for touching me. " It scares him into not doing it, and it's a real crime so I ain't lying.

NTA because that was probably just an instinctual reaction. OP's fight or flight kicked in and happened to be fight. I hope someone called child services and got that kid help. There was clearly something very wrong going on.

NTA maybe if his mom taught him better then they wouldn't be in thay situation. He had to learn some how

Call CPS

Oh god, this is so hard… first of all, NTA, the child was clearly in the wrong and so was the mother for not stopping him and then getting mad at not the child but the person the child harassed. To clarify, I am on this person’s side but to an outsider who might not know the full story, she did still punch a child in the face 😅. I also agree with the comment that said this child will wind up on a list someday 😅

Call CPS immediately

He needs serious help and he's not going to get it unless you press charges for sexual assault.

The childs life ain't right! Who's diddling this baby?

One of the saddest things about SA is that the offender is usually a victim of SA/CSA, and they're continuing the cycle.

NTA definitely the mom. Is she molesting him? That’s my question. Kids don’t just act like that.

Hope the police investigated. Kid sounds like he's being abused

I hope they bride do press charges so the courts are forced to intervene and find out why the kid is so hyper focused on touching people’s privates. He could just be a brat going through an “edgy” phase that he doesn’t understand, like using swear words or spitting just because he’s not supposed to, but this could be me a sign he’s being abused and/or exposed to “adult” situations. I hope he gets help and becomes a normal kid.

No, you're not the a-hole. He is definitely going to be on some kind of list when he's older

NTA this is not ok. I dont care why hes doing it, he needs punishment. The mom needs to teach him boundaries.

I would do that too if a child did that to me I’d just be in jail 😤

The only way anyone is in the wrong is by not involving CPS immediately. That sort of behavior doesn't arise out of nowhere.

How much you wanna bet entitled mom using that her child been SA as an excuse??? Its wrong but there are sick people in this world.

Clearly kids mom didn’t teach him about the no no square and other no no spots.

NTA based on my own experience. I grew up with a narcissistic and toxic mother and was sexually assaulted daily from age 11-15. He is in prison and I’ve gotten counseling and help from my husband and God so mentally I’m pretty good for the circumstances. That child needs help. That isn’t a curiosity thing that’s a experienced this and want to do this thing. His mother is either complicit or participating in the assault. Or she has the experience and may not have been helped and is assuming the abuse she endured was normal behavior and is raising her son the way she has experienced men. You were in the right but so much more needs to be done for the both of them.

No way the kid did a serious crime at six years old

That child is what’s called a son husband! What’s is that mother having him do to her when nobody is looking? 😡

NTA that’s why they’re called knee-jerk reactions, when we are feeling assaulted in any way, the fist usually is the first to respond. Why nobody took that horrible outside before this escalated is bizarre. Maybe her and her son have a tag team thing going where he gets hit, she sues for assault and the rent is paid for another little while. Of course the child has no blame in this. He’s definitely being manipulated

Nope you’re not an ass hole for doing that, personally, I would have press charges against the mother for a complete disgrace to the society of women!

Heck no. That was self defense

If you won't teach your child not to touch private parts, this is going to keep happening.

literally looked at the title and automatically no

I don’t care if they’re kid or an adult or if they have an issue or something if they fully know what they’re doing and know that it’s wrong and there’s no excuse for them like one time when I was a little bit younger my friend has a little brother who’s autistic and one time this little brother grabbed my ass cheek And so naturally I punched him and all the adults and teachers said that I was in the wrong and that I shouldn’t be punching a kid who obviously couldn’t help it even though he knew that it’s bad to do that even though he knew it was a harassment Having something like autism or anything else is not an excuse for bad behaviour I don’t care if your child is this with your child is that you’re the one who’s teaching them so teach them that it’s wrong to do this you’re the parent you should be teaching your child this

Just 3 minutes? That's unfortunate

FINALLY

No you are probably more Closer to a hero. Because you Taught that kid a valuable lesson if his parents go ahead and Reinforce what you taught him

NTA. However, this means that behavior is normalized for them, which means either they see it at home, or even worse, it happens to them at home.

Yeah ur in the wrong for not doing it intentionally lol

the kid needs help

Nta. I would've called the cops and pressed charges!

Nta, but keep the kid in close sight. He probably is getting that done to him at home. Remember, Kids do what they are taught.

Totally normal reaction, the kid shouldn't have been doing weird, inappropriate stuff like that, at that age as well. I remember when I was about 25 one summer two little boys, about 7, no tshirts on, who lived in our road came up to me and asked if I had a boyfriend and could they have my number, and of course I said absolutely not and they were kids and I was an adult, but it creeped me out for days afterwards. I think I told their mother a couple days later but she just thought it was harmless. No it's not, and there's some reason why kids at that age would be doing stuff like that.

That’s not normal for a 6 year old his not creepy, his being an abused. Kids mimic adults which means there is an adult in this poor kids life touching him in ways no child should be touched.

Extremely abnormal behavior that requires a call to CPS. The cops should have clued in on this.

NTA her kid will be in prison or dead before they hit 18 at this rate.

NTA you did what had to be done

Not the AH. It is not 2x nice when people grab at you for no reason.

NTA. And good reflexes, BTW.

NTA. But I really wonder if the kid is ok, with that behaviour and a mother like that I’m really concerned for the kids wellbeing and what’s going to happen in his future.

I mean, I get why cause he is sick, but yet is a reflect action! He probably grab you really hard and the breats are very sensitive so no

NTA and I hope that kid finds a parent who can teach him right from wrong

Nta but man that’s a huge sign that the kid is being SA’d himself and just thinks it’s okay, maybe he’s just a brat tho🤷🏻‍♂️

Got Batman reading this

I almost did this, what stopped me was I was scared his dad screaming at me before finding out what the fuck

You did the right thing. Kid’s gotta learn that’s not okay 👍 Although that freaks me out about the kid-that much obsession over genitalia (especially at that young of an age) is weird. I’d be concerned that he’s being SA-ed or exposed to SA.

Thanks master chief

Somebody gotta teach that brat a lesson.it should be the parents because no one can trust strangers to actually "teach" a lesson (at least the correct way). Some go overboard, others aren't as strict or stern when disciplining others, and everyone is entitled to an opinion of approach to any situation, right or wrong.
