Was wondering if someone could help me with a legal issue please.

My GF and I had her kids last weekend ( we get them every 2nd Sat & Sun) and the middle child, a boy had a loose tooth.

The tooth was that sore he couldn't eat. So I asked him if he wanted me to remove it for him. He said yes. I asked the GF and she also said yes.

So I removed the tooth.

Now on Sunday night, the GF's ex ring up ranting and raving and carrying on about how he is going to have me up on assault charges for pulling the boys tooth out.

(A) is this possible??

(B) what can I do about him ringing up all the time and making these threats? would it be worthwhile reporting it to the police?

(A) - Consult a lawyer as they will have a clear definition of what context the term "assault" could be applied in the above listed situation. I personally see no problem if the caring parent has consented and the child has there should be no grounds for charges to be laid.

(B) - Your partner can File a complaint that if followed up in court can prevent him from contacting her / you unless it directly relates to the children.

A - Technically not assault. Permission was granted by both him and his mother.

B - Call and report it to the coppers. They won't do anything until it really escalates however it will be on record. so, if he does try and prevent you from doing anything that is relation to the child (change schools, act as a responsible guardian etc) his irresponsibility is on file.

This is all based on my legal knowledge from a few years ago. Contact a lawyer for more thorough info or next time he calls, tell him to stop being a c6ck and suck one instead.

Know what you mean though, the girlfriend has moved in with me and she gets strife from her ex regarding their son. She mvoed up here from Melbounre though.

I have assaulted many people and that definitely isn't assault.

You have the permission of the legal guardian at the time and from the child so it is not a problem.

You can't even be pursued on the grounds of coaching a minor as permission was granted by the legal guardian.

Are you sure the ex isn't getting confused with the future assault by you on him?

yeah the EX can't do much. you were given permission by both the child and the legal guardian. the first thing you are asked when filing an assult charge is "did you give the person permission to <insert claimed assault>?" had this question asked to me when giving a statement after being a witness to an assault (although in that case it was asking whether the victim gave permission).

unless of course the way you removed the tooth was to punch the kid in the face........

well after I spoke to an officer from the child protection unit, apparently removing a tooth is classed as negligence.......

but it would have been thrown out when it was proven that i removed the tooth so he wouldnt suffer anymore pain.......

what a f*cked up rule......

Yeah mate it went further....

he then "coached" ( ie I suspect he told her to say it, but I cant prove it..) the youngest daughter, a 3 yr old to say that I put my finger into her vagina.....

had a copper from the child protection unit come out to work and everything.

however she clammed up in the interview and wouldnt tell the cop anything.

so thats all over and done with as well.

And the sucky part is i can't do anything in regards to deformation of character or anything like that cause the system is set up to protect whistle-blowers....

and now the germ is acting nice as pie...

That is completely f'd. Some people really don't take the time to think about the implications of such actions. If that had of stuck, you'd be reporting your every move to the child sex offending registry for the next 10 years or so! Glad it was all cleared up.

Have you considered helping him remove a few teeth??

I would love to give him a dental makeover haha, however at the end of the day it's not worth stuffing my life up for 5 minutes of satisfaction.

Also it would disadvantage the kids, and although they aren't mine, I still wouldn't like to do that to them.

Completely true. The greater good will always triump and as you say, not worth screwing up your own life, or theirs.

Hope he finds something else to occupy his time with soon.

Scum will be scum. Can't beleive that some people will accuse others of such filthy things.. Urgh..

All good that it's sorted out mate. Just make sure that you report every little bit of crap that he gives you so you have some credible evidence that destroys his credibility in the event of a court case.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol

      Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Pac · Posted

      Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
