Firstly, Skating is banned at that park.

Secondly, the school and the park on the same side of the street, go ahead and look at the link, across the street is housing.

You are about as dense as it comes, look where the video is filmed and then look at the street view.  They were on the sidewalk which is right next to the elementary school which is where skateboarding is prohibited and signs are up all over the place stating that.

Who the frack cares if it was in a skate park or not? The dude ACCIDENTALLY hit a kid and his mom attacked him. I would honestly understand if she did that to him if he was an ass and laughed about it, but he seemed very concerned about what happened. She's a piece of shit. Nah she's a whole shit. :)

Terrible thing to role model for your kids...accidents happen. As an adult you don't throw logic out the window and think its ok as a parent. Does it happen, sure... but the first impression given this video tells me she a bit on the angry side day to day. She didn't even pay attention to check if the kid was ok... jeesh...

She should be charged. You just dont go around hitting people.

The skate park/elements of Cannery Park sit 110 ft. from a door to the elementary school. Now, while there is a skate park at said park, the video does show that the skater was skating outside of it. Still, that does not mean the mother who took 20 seconds to nonchalantly walk up to the skater and start poking him and then punch him was in the right either. She is guilty of assault and battery as the minute she opened her mouth, you can see the skater start to backpedal to keep her at a distance. Two wrongs do not make a right. 

Still, there is no evidence that the skater saw the kid. The mother did not have control over her son being that far back.  

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

You do seem to like to make assumptions, you have no idea of my life experience.  And you're going to criticize my life experience and call me kid when you can't properly spell or insert spaces between words? 

Unless you were there, you have no idea where the kid was in relation to the skateboarder prior to the collision so you don't know what the situation and variables were.

masiisam

Well..my inserts are not my doingthats called glitchspotand thats all you have?my spacing? Where did I miss spell? 
Sorry to break it to youYea your life experience on this topic is ignorant at best..thats finebut dont be surprised when someone asks about it when the things you say have no rhyme or meaning behind them.

How about misspell too?

Unless you were there, it is speculation on everyone's part that what the skater did or didn't see is speculation, nothing more, nothing less. Unless you or anyone else can provide the proof otherwise, it will remain such. 

Messed up. He should have defended himself -- would've been completely justified. th3warr1or

I was initially wholly supportive of the skater, but switched to supporting the mother when you and GummiRaccoon revealed that the collision occurred outside the area designated for skating.

That immediately places responsibility for the accident on the skater, whether he saw the child or not.

A motorist who causes a head-on collision by driving a car on the wrong side of the road can't absolve himself from criminal liability by claiming that he didn't see oncoming traffic, or by expressing concern for the victims of an accident he causes.

Of course it's true that the mother overreacted and that her failure to contain her anger is deplorable, but the anger itself was thoroughly justified.

As for the claim that the mother's slow response to the incident proves that she was "neglecting" the child: How do we know that the woman who picked up the child almost immediately after the collision is a stranger?  She may be a friend, or same-gender spouse, to whom the mother had entrusted the care of her child.

While she may have the right to be angry, she does not have the right to commit assault and battery on someone else no matter how wrong the other party is. I am of the opinion that both parties are at fault. Just as a dog owner cannot control a dog that is on a leash more than 6 feet long, a mother cannot control a child that is 100 feet from her.

It does not matter who the second woman in that video is (the one who picked up the child originally), she is not the child's mother and is not directly responsible for him. That might be a different story if the mother was not around, but as seen, that is not the case.

Now, if the skater had hit the kid while walking next his mother I could totally blame the skater for running into the kid. Still, the skater has a case if he wanted to press charges for the attack. I would venture that the Hayward PD may look into it now that the video has gone viral. The skater may get a ticket, but she will at the least get a ticket, if not arrested.

[QUOTE="MuD3"][QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

Where do you live that it is OK to blame a kid that is less than 5 years old for a skater running him over because he wasn't paying attention?

GummiRaccoon

yeah you did

I'd have punched her back.

Can't believe Gummy Raccoon and some other guys defending the bitch. That's clearly assault unprovoked. So if a motorist caused an accident, the other motorists should come up to him and punch him ?Zensword

If they crash into you because they are driving on your front lawn or in a park or on the sidewalk or the wrong side of the road, yeah, they'll get punched out.

Our society has turned into a bunch of gigantic pussies.  The skater should just take one on the jaw like a man and deal with it because he clearly deserved it.

Why are you guys so afraid to be punched out for acting like assholes?

The police shoot people because they might get hurt, everyone constantly is pressing muh charges.  Grow some balls and take part in some good old fashioned pugilism, it'll grow hair on your chest.

What's it like going through life being perpetually afraid of getting a punch in the face?  I bet you guys played in the "everyone gets a trophy" sports.

Getting hit in the face isn't that bad.

What happened to the skater is what is called "natural consequences"
