Via Reddit[/caption] He explained: "My daughter has been complaining about some mean girl bullying her at school constantly. "Telling her s*** like 'don't come to school anymore cause nobody likes you' and 'just die already' and some other s***." He added that while he tried to rectify the situation himself, the "rich kid" evaded justice. He continued: "Yesterday my daughter got harassed by this girl again and she ended up beating the s*** out of her. "She slapped the s*** out of that obnoxious bully and said it felt sooo good. She's of course now 'in trouble' smh. But I secretly keep cheering her on. "If it wasn't for my wife standing around, I would've high five'd her after we got home." While the father admitted that he does not condone violence, he also believes that sometimes it's "warranted" and hopes it taught the bully a lesson.

"Parent happy their child assaulted someone..." one user scathed. Another said: "Go find a responsible ethical adult at the school and report that instead of assaulting someone." Other people supported the father, with one writing: "I'd encourage it. Who knows, maybe buy them ice cream on the way home? After all, the other kid deserved it." "I would have to support my kid in this instance," added another. "Standing up for yourself is mandatory."
