I've actually had a discussion like this before with somebody. Farming communities can always be a little rough growing up in. For an outsider kid, things are always going to be rough in some form. Whether guy or girl.

So I've been discussing with my brother in law about the issue of my little niece. Currently, she's being homeschooled. But eventually, she's going to be put into regular school. No doubt, for how smart she is for her age, she's going to be a clear outsider no matter what we do.

So we come to the issue at hand involving hostile kids.

1. It's agreed by the two of us that you've got to teach your kid to stand up for themselves.

2. If it persists even after that, then you take it to the parents. As an adult, you don't target the kid who's after your kid. You go to the father of the agressor.

Whether it be as civil and clear as you can make it or unfortunately resorting to something else. If you make it very clear to the dad you're dealing with that you'll show up again, seriously, the next time an incident like that happens again, you've got a better chance of straightening the kid out because dad wants to watch himself too.

Quinto's character was partially right. After taking away the bat he should have focused on the father over the child to make a better point.

Put the pressure on dad.

Dad will put pressure on the kid.
