Reply To: Going off the Derech

Imaofthree-when my husband and I met with him motsei Shabbos, at some point, he had enough of our complaints against him, and he said, “So what do you want now?”. My husband said he wanted him to apologize to my son, but I said, “I’ll tell you what I want. I want to call the police” at which he threw me a surprised look. I think the threat was obvious, and if he dares to touch any of my children again, I won’t wait for permission from anyone to take this to the limit. I do have the names of the witnesses, as we all live in the same neighborhood. There is another option other than going to the police, and that is to take him to a Beis Din. Don’t know yet what to do. I guess we’ll see if he has the decency (derech eretz???) to apologize to my son.
