Did I say tell him to defend himself?
if it were me, my son would know how to defend himself beforehand
Im not teaching my son to go a different route.
Im teaching my son how to protect himself, whether its 1, 2 or 4 niggas
now if he gets jumped, which is more often than not out of his control, the only thing I am doing at that point, as his parent, is tending to his aches and pains and discussing what happened....
and nowhere in that convo would I say go a different route.
Im not raising cowards and Im not projecting my fears onto my son.
Hes going to have to learn how to protect himself, and stand up for himself, period.
Now if he says mom I dont feel comfortable walking that way anymore etc etc
thats something different.
but nowhere in this scenerio am I blaming him for getting jump.
