Oh Molly, I am so sorry you had to go through this. I am glad you are okay.
I'm proud of you for going to the police and to the doctors.

You hang strong, you going to be fine. Your boyfriend will be home soon, right?

Don't get down on yourself about it being 13 year old, you were caught off guard, etc....

It's going to be okay sweetie.

Molly,
I know that we haven't spoken before, but I want to know if you found your phone !!!! I'm so horrified that this happened to you and I'm so glad that you were able to quit your job. I wish that you would have felt like letting his parents see you in the throws of the moment, because they would have seen how really serious and inhumane their son has been. He deserves and needs very stiff punishment for this. Our world is just getting out of hand !!!!!!!!!! You are probably in sooooo much pain. You have just learned to always watch your back, haven't you?! I thought you said it was a surprise attack and that he brought friends to help?! If that's the case, why on earth would you be embarrassed ?! He should be the one to be embarrassed, for picking on a woman, for having to bring somemore bullies with him, for having to catch you when your back was turned (unawares.) That just makes me so mad, that he thinks he can treat others like that and get away with it!!!!!!! I'm furious !!!!!!!!!
((((((((((((((((((((HUGS MOLLY)))))))))))))))))))))))) Pamper yourself.

Did someone ring you ?

I am so sorry you are hurt like this, i hope you feel better soon. Are the police going to do anything? I think it is disgusting , that a CHILD can run wild and inflict such injuries.

Look after YOU , molly and get well soon

I'm glad her bf is there for her now and she found her phone. What an outrageous act of violence.

Take care and heal, physically and emotionally.

Molly,

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I removed your phone number from your posts for your protection.

I hope you start feeling better soon and I hope this teenager has to pay consequences for his actions. I've been hit in the face before and never even saw his arm move so I know how this can happen so fast that you don't see it coming.

Rest and take care of yourself. You are probably still in shock and it will take time to get your thoughts together.

Hugs,
MG

Don't feel bad about what happened to you. It wasn't your fault. Obviously that kid has some serious issues. At least now that you went to the police, hopefully the kid will be brought to justice and that he will receive anger managment and AODA treatment. In the meantime take care of your self and get well soon!

Purdy - thank you for the update.

Molly... please read this

Attacked
Knocked unconcious
Broken nose
Broken cheekbone
Probable shock
Possible concussion

If I told you I had suffered those injuries, would you really expect me to be emabarrassed?

Please understand, I am also nearly 6 foot tall. I am also strong and able-bodied. With agressive men, I have relied on my size to intimidate and overpower.

But I am a woman. Biologically different than men. And unable to defend myself against three attackers, especially when surprised.

I understand being too scared to file a report with the police. I really do. What I want you to think about when your head clears is how you might feel when you hear that he attacks another woman... and hurts her badly. Just think about it.

Please take care of yourself today... sending prayers for clear thinking and fast healing.

((((SpaceGirl))))

Children are the most vulnerable people in society but at the same time we can be vulnerable to them.

Stop berating yourself.

Who among us would be expecting a thirteen y.o to walk up to us and punch us in the face ?

I hope his parents understand that a mumbled apology will not suffice.

Thanks everyone for being so nice. I'm much better today. Thanks also for removing the phone number MG. I wasn't thinking really clearly last night and obviously posting a personal telephone number in public was not too bright. From the way everyone has put it then I don't feel embarassed about it now. I actually thought, when he came up to me that he was coming to apologise for shouting at me in the shop.

Even if it happened again I can't imagine hitting a child tho. It would make me feel like a child-abuser. I've been training in martial arts since I was a child. Could you imagine the headlines? 36 year old six-foot tall, black-belt attacks 13 year old child! He was almost the same height as me but it just sounds awful doesn't it?

Anyway I'm ok. No permanent injuries. I was just a bit shocked really and part of me was not wanting to make a fuss but the other part of me really wanted to tell somebody but if I'd called my mum she'd only have panicked and made a big deal about it so it seemed better to talk to people here about it instead.

Thank you again to everyone. I'm getting all choked up now, thinking about how when someone has a crisis, accident or problem then everyone here always sticks together to give advice and support to each other. On the phone to Purdy last night I was crying with shock but also with gratitude for how nice everyone was. I feel honoured to be a member of this very special family.

Thank you.

Oooh get me! I get smacked on the nose by a 13-year old and it turns into an oscar-acceptance speech! Lol, I'll do a Gwyneth Paltrow in a minute and start blubbing... *oops... too late!

Thanks tho guys. You truly are wonderful.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I can't believe how sweet everyone is! I'd like to thank my family, my agent, my... oh wait.... darn! Sorry! I had a 'Gwyneth-moment' again!

I'm fine thanks. Feeling a bit fragile and taking it easy today. I'm still not sure what to do. On one hand I don't want to cause trouble for a child. I mean if he gets involved with the legal system again at this age it might send his life in the wrong direction and screw his life up completely but as I said to Purdy last night he's actually been arrested for a very serious crime last year so if I do nothing and he hurts someone else then I'll feel guilty. But if I press charges then I might ruin his life.

I really don't feel like making a decision about it today tbh. I think I'll try to not think about it but think about it in a few days time.

((((hugs))))) to you

edit: Oh just read your post Purdy. yes. It's hard to see him as a child after what he was arrested for last year but his parents seem to think that it will do more harm than good if I press charges.

Yes, but if he keeps going as he is, he could hurt someone a lot worse the next time. Did you say his parents called? What did they say?

Take care of YOU! Get better.

I know how you feel about that...........my 12 yr old son was assaulted by another child at the beginning of this school year.he banged his head against a brick wall til he had a concussion....my son had epilepsy til a few years ago.now we have to worry the hit could bring it back...I pressed charges.he was charged with assault.and harassment. I did feel bad..and still do...I want kids to make it.....see them change their life around....but sweetie not making them pay for their crime isn't going to help them.........it will make it that much easier to do again.please press charges!!! It is sooo important..........

I feel so bad for you....hang in there though........we'll help ya through sweetie!

Molly,
I surely agree with everything that Purrdy told you to do. Please do this for you. It's important, as Purrdy said. BUT..............................

Please, PRESS CHARGES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love kids. There are and always have been my weakness in life. I do have a very soft heart where kids are concerned, but, of course, his parents are going to say that about him. They are HIS parents. It will not be you getting him in trouble or messing up his life. It will be his doings and his enabler parents doings. He DEFINITELY needs to pay the consequences of his actions now, before he actually kills someone or at least maims them for life. He has NO hope of turning his life around without serious consequences to his actions and I don't think that anymore innocent people should have to pay for another one of his trial runs. I'm sorry to sound so tough, but people should be able live in this world without fear of harm, especially from someone who has been harmful to others on more than one occasion. He just can't get away with this. What if he goes to school and shoots alot of innocent kids someday? He is violent and has to be stopped before it's too late.
