THE
FAMILY LAWYER'*1
FATHER TO THE RESCUE
. SuppoM. a man sees his son
being beaten up by the neigh-
borhood bully. Does he have a
legal right to use force is his
son’s defense?
He does indeed. Parallel io
the fight to self defense JS the
right to defend the members of
one’s family, with force if need
be. This doclodne goes all the
way back to the daVV of feuda-
lism, when the master of the
household was .legally entitled
to protect his family from at-
tack.
But in such situations, there
-is always the chance of escalat-
ing the violence. Therefore, the
law7 places careful limits on this
right of family defense.
1) The force used must not be
excessive. For example: —
A father found his son in-
volved in a fracas with the man
next door. Rushing to the res-
cue, he knocked the man uneotv
cious with a mighty l?low on the
head. Then he followed’ up with
a swill kick in the abdomen.
For the resulting internal in-
juries. the father was duly held
libal in court . The right to de-
fend his s :i. said the court, did
ble’? Again, yes. The court said
that since the-boy was in no dan-
ger at the time of the punch,
the father’s action cound not
lairly be called defensive.
3) Many courts add that the
father's right to use force is no
greater than the child’s. Thus.
A belligerent teen-ager deli-
berately picked a fight with an-
other youth. But by the time his
father came along, he was al-
ready getting the worst of it.;
The father promptly slugged the.i
other boy with i rock.
Sue3 later for damages, th'S,|
lather claimed he had acted to
protect his son. But the court j
held him liable anyhow. The
court said that, ip terms of the
right to use force, he ‘‘stood in
his son’s shoes" — that is in the
shoes of the aggressor.

2) The force must be used
only to defend, not to ‘‘got ev-
en.’’ In another case, a father
found out that that a. certain
teacher had dapped his son in
class. Days later, meeting the
teacher on the sidewalk, he pun-
ched him in the nose

brilliant and fabulous victories; also a day to re-
tain memories of dismall defeat. . A day to hon-
