Right or wrong?

I think you did the right thing I would have done the same. You are a grown up and have to think like a grown up. Your daughter is still a child and doesn't see your point of view yet but she will one day and she will thank you for it.

well, she is 15 and she thinks the whole world should be on her side. You did right, she is now learning a life lesson.

Plus, if she really thought she was being abused she could have called the cops herself.

Her mom may have flew off the handle, she may have done the wrong thing, or it could have been the perfect thing to do... You need to tell your daughter that neither you or she has the right to decide what the other girl did or did not deserve.

Consequences. Go figure.

edit:

She's 15.... i bet she knew what kind of reaction she would get before she did it. Kids know exactly what to do to get the biggest/worst reaction out of their parents.

p.s. -- you are totally right.

I do not believe in hitting a child BUT,that crosses the line....The daughter should never speak to her mother like that and needs to quit with the DRAMA!! If she talked to ANYONE like that,she would get a negative reaction.. You did the right thing.Your daughter needs to realize that her friend made a bad decision.The poor mother is probably heart broken.Why does your daughter think what her friend said was okay? I would have a sit down with your daughter and explain. Getting hit for no reason is one thing,disrespecting your mother and yelling hateful things in her face is another.

edit.....I see your daughters point but,it was a reaction by the other mother.So does your daughter think the other mother should have said the same thing back and stoop to the child's level??What does your daughter think the proper punishment should have been?

I think you did the right thing. If the child was younger, or she didn't really know what she was saying, then maybe you should have reacted differently. Or your friend, I should say. But she is old enough to know better, and as long as she is living at home, she should respect her parents and their authority. Kids are getting away with too much these days.

You were right. Kids are sly enough and she was just trying to use you to get even. She's a big girl and could call herself if she really wants to. Contrary to the current pop culture, some kids could use a good crack. They got this way from coddling.

You were completely right. No need to ruin lives over something so stupid. And that girl needs to be set straight! I can't believe the things kids say to their parents these says. No respect!

You should have called. Let CPS decide if there is abuse going on in the home. If she's willing to tell you she got hit once, what is she not willing to tell you about?

i think you dne the right theng and you daughter will thenk about it think that yu have done the right thing too. although she might not tell you that.

what the heck?

my mom would have done the same thing if that was my friend. but then again, if that was my friend, she def. wouldn't be my friend anymore. anybody who considers me as their "friend" will respect their parents, friends, teachers, etc., otherwise, I'm gone.

I don't blame your friend. I would have done the same thing to my daughter too. She deserved it!
