Yesterday I popped out for 5 mins to get the washing in, as I walked down my hallway past the lounge I noticed my son on the lounge carpet curled up in a ball holding himself whilst both my daughter & her friend were sitting, laughing. Guessing what had happened I felt embarrassed to intervene or go into the lounge to investigate. Whilst not knowing what to do, my daughters friend came into the kitchen and upon me asking what happened she replied that my daughter had kicked him in the balls and that she does that to boys all the time at school, for fun. Although my son is ok, I'm wondering whether I should say something to my daughter and if so what and if I do, will it make any difference especially as she not only witnessed me doing the very same thing to a man a few years back who wouldn't take no for and answer at a wedding reception but also given that such acts are regularly featured in movies, t.v. and comedies these days sometimes poytrayed as something of fun/humour.

I think a good talking to is in order. Have you ever been belted in the boobs? It's bloody sore. Well think about a guy getting that, only in the cojones. I think when you kicked that guy in the nuts he had it coming to him. Explain that to your daughter and make her understand that she just can't go around doing this to guys for no reason. She'll do it to the wrong person some day and end up with a sore face - or worse!
BTW, you make me wonder. If you were too embarrassed to intervene or say anything about this, how did you tell your daughter about sex, etc - or have you?

Definitely talk to your daughter. Not only is this unacceptable behavior, it is potentially dangerous, and she is risking the chance of causing physical damage to these boys. Explain that this type of physical violence should only be used in have-to situations as a means of defense, not for her amusement.
Also explain it is only a matter of time before she will be reported at school for doing this and it could result in detention at the least, suspension from school, and if physical harm is sustained and reported, potential legal action could be taken as well.

I would explain that it is a dangerous and offensive thing to do. It is an assault that you could be prosecuted for. Being pestered is no excuse. Since there must have been others around at your reception that could have told him to bog off!
Because magicians cut heads off for fun and humour, we don't go around doing it! It is not the reality, is it?

I would talk to her, she's going to try and kick the wrong person and either they or their partner will give her a sore face, or worse.
