There's no way I could stand by and let something like that happen. I'd be of the mindset that if someone was assaulting my child, I'd want someone...anyone to do everything they could to stop it, so I'd be doing the same for this child.

This just horrifys me. That it can happen in front of several witnesses. I think the tyre iron would be a good option. So would a club lock, which I know can make an excellent weapon (or method of intimidation in my case).
