A kid bit me once. So hard it drew blood. I kicked it across the room. Effin parents didn't train it properly. I kept saying NO but the little **** apparently only responded to NO BITE. I didnt know that command so, there ya go...it got the foot.

This has become a shrug for me. I don't tell people how to parent, I would expect them to not tell me how to parent either. Mutual respect people!

Kids are taught. Animals are trained.

My boys bit me when they were infants. I bit back. Never happened again.

I had a puppy that bit. Over and over. Tried to train. Nipped children who passed by. Bit my ankles. Tore holes in my clothes and made my legs bleed. It attacked me when I came home sick. She was put down.

There is no comparison between a human child and an animal, IMO. Animals are not parented. Children are.

A HUMAN bit you? How old was this kid? How far did s/he fly? Did you get a tetanus shot?
