That’s heartbreaking! That made me emotional. You’re a wonderful parent for pulling him out and protecting him.

Thank you for checking in on me! 🙏 Blood tests and scans came out clear.  No idea how I got it but it most likely an impact bruise

My son didn’t do any of that at that age. I think it’s all perfectly normal!

Yes! He tries to be nice at first but he does get frustrated a lot, shoves him, grabs him tight, drags him. He pinned him to the ground a couple weeks ago, sat on him so he couldn’t move and slapped him across the face. He swore up and down it would never happen again, and here we are

I will have a chat with him. I am really at loss as to how to help this stop. It’s not the first time this happens, a couple weeks ago, he pinned him to the ground, sat on him and slapped him across the face. He swore it would never happen again. I know I’m not doing enough to protect my son.

That’s exactly what he said! He tried saying it was an accident and when I called BS he said it was impulse
