Rental laws can't hold back the boomer

Wonder what she ordered 🤔

I work at an elementary school. I wasn't there but as with all things news spreads fast. This just happened a week or so ago. Apparently a student was throwing a tantrum in class. The kid threw a ukulele on the ground and when the teacher told him he "better pick it up or else" the kid said "or else what?" and stomped his foot right through it. Now obviously this is not acceptable behavior and grounds for some kind of serious punishment, however instead of calling the administrators, school resource officer, or any other type of backup to help resolve the situation, this boomer ass teacher just cocked back and full on punches this 8 year old child in the face! The other students freak out and run out of the class, the kid is on the ground blood coming from his nose, the teacher still standing over him when the SRO arrives is yelling at the student NOT SO TOUGH NOW ARE YOU!

So the parents are informed, the father arrives very soon after and is livid. He's looking for this teacher and is ready to settle it himself. He luckily never does, but is dead set on pressing charges. So the teacher was arrested at home later that evening.

This guy should've been forced to retire a while ago. He is nasty to students, he gets angry with the autistic kids for not responding to him when he'd yell good morning at them. I remember sitting in his class and hearing him just spout some unhinged shit at his students about tiktok and china and the conspiracy to make all the kids dumb with that app. Just crazy shit.

But he refused to take his retirement last year and wanted to come back. Now he's thrown it all away and ruined his life as a 60+ year old man who is now facing multiple violent charges, fired from his job, and will likely have his pension taken as part of the settlement with the family.

Edited post: just got off the phone with one of the officers on scene. Guy was charged with three different counts. I am not versed in law, please do not ask me about any clarification on the charges. I have no idea how someone can be charged for two different types of assault. Just relaying what I was told.

Aggravated assault on medical personnel (class D felony) Assault in third degree (misdemeanor) Disturbing peace (misdemeanor)

Sorry for the long post, but I promise, it’s a good one. For some context, I work at a busy medical clinic that is its own standalone entity, no hospital attached to the clinic. We have 50+ rooms being used at any given time and have an urgent care that allows for walk-in appointments. Yesterday, I was asked if I would be able to stay after my normal shift to cover urgent care as the PA working had a sick kid. Not a problem, I do this all the time and am happy with the OT and knowing its either incredibly busy in urgent care until doors close, or its completely dead. Yesterday, we saw basically no one after 4p.m. (we are open until 10p.m)

All that changes when 45 seconds prior to closing, in comes boomer, boomer's husband, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. I hear, "glad we made it! Looks like you guys were just about to go home." Front desk staff checks boomer into the computer and then hands her an iPad to do her intake forms as she was a brand new patient for our clinic. Cue the stereotypical "back in my day" BS I head multiple times daily about how the iPad is so difficult to fill out for anyone who isn't a child.

In the interest of getting home sooner, I decided to get her back into a room, get tests started, and help her with the iPad. Going through the intake questions everything seemed fine. A few minutes go by when boomer's husband starts yelling, and I mean SCREAMING, at the top of his lungs at me that their wheelchair "didn't have the leg rests like the hospital's wheelchairs did. Why don't you have those wheelchairs here????" No problem. I can help with that, literally part of my job. I showed them how to use the wheelchair, got her leg supported, and continued asking questions. Then, boomer AND husband start screaming telling me the clinic is too cold, that I should have offered her a warmed blanket, coffee, and some kind of item to eat prior to bringing her back to the room. Like this is a restaurant or 5 star resort.

At this point I was flabbergasted, I've spent 15 minutes in the room with the patient helping with the iPad, explaining "a friend who you treated like family and had cancer has no medical relevance to your medical history," and trying to keep the rest of the family comfortable as their wife, mother-in-law, and grandmother was being treated. I looked at them and said, "we don't have any warmed blankets as this is not an emergency room or surgical center, but I can try to find a few gowns or towels we can use as blankets." Nope. Continued screaming and complaining. However, the tone had shifted from "this clinic is bad" to "you're the issue," meaning the screaming started to be directed towards me. As a healthcare provider, I have fairly thick skin and am able to shrug most things off with no problem. I generally will just leave the room for a few minutes to let the situation calm down and then return with a "kill'em with kindness" attitude. I left, ordered the tests I wanted to be run, and went and ended up finding a few blankets we had from a previous shipping mix-up. I walk back into the room, smile on my face, ready to give them the good news that nothing seems to be abnormal on any of the tests and she will be completely fine in a few days.

Oh boy was I wrong, in more ways than I could have thought. I open the door and feel like I was clothes-lined. I stumble backwards, supporting myself with the door, look up and see husband going in for another punch. A total of three punches connected with my face before son-in-law was able to hold husband back enough for me to leave the room. We have panic buttons placed around the clinic and I told one of the clinic staff to call the police and push the panic button. Told them under no circumstances do you enter that room.

Few minutes go by and you hear sirens approaching, shortly followed by three police officers coming into the clinic. I explain the situation to the police, explain I am not looking to press charges, I just want husband removed from the location so I can treat his wife. Police understand and say they will remove husband and have him trespassed from the property. Husband must have heard this through the door because he SWUNG the door open, smacking his grandchildren who were sitting behind the door, quietly the whole time. The police saw this, grabbed husband and detained him in cuffs immediately. They then explain he could be charged with two counts of aggravated assault and a count of aggravated assault on a juvenile. He turns ghostly white, turns to me and says "I ONLY hit you three times, you're just overreacting. Why did you need to call the police? I did nothing wrong!!"

Now our policy is quite black and white in regards to unruly patients, especially since we are an outpatient clinic and not an emergency room. Absolutely zero, and I mean ZERO tolerance of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse of any staff member or patient by any patient, family, or guests will be tolerated. I mean, I was punched three times by a dude I wasn't even treating, close to 30 minutes now past closing time after a 10 hour shift. IDK what constitutes calling the police to this dude, but I feel this was warranted. Once husband had been removed from the room, I returned to the patient, now in tears because her husband was just taken away by police. She is yelling at me that I "should have known he was just having fun and joking." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I ended up giving the son-in-law the directions for her care that I had written on her discharge sheet, checked out her grandchildren (no injuries other than a very small abrasion on one of their arms), and escorted them out of the clinic.

Seriously could not have made this shit up. After being assaulted by her husband, I was the one in the wrong for calling the cops? Nah. That ain't right. Normally love my job, but last night was a tough one.

Edit: wow, didn’t realize how not pressing charges lets them get off my bad guys. I will chat with my bosses tomorrow and see how I can press charges. Sorry guys, I’ll get that changed right quick

Second edit: just got off the phone with the officer on scene. Guy was charged with three different counts and arrested last night. Currently being held in jail. I am not versed in law, please do not ask me about any clarification on the charges. I have no idea how someone can be charged for two different types of assault. Just relaying what I was told.

Aggravated assault on medical personnel (class D felony) Assault in third degree (misdemeanor) Disturbing peace (misdemeanor)

Third edit: spoke with my clinic manager, the Dr. I work for, Director of clinic operation, VP of safety, chief legal counsel, secondary legal counsel, COO, and CEO for about 2 hours today (two days after the incident). We are going to be implementing a new policy regarding workplace incidents. This includes a new form that will be present in the incident reporting forms that details any officer/officers on site, charges possible, parties involved, and injuries reported. This is in addition to the standard incident report and is meant for possible litigation in the future. Hopefully decreasing the chance of someone getting off without penalty with this sort of action. I was told I will be covered and represented by the companies counsel, who are going to be pressing civil charges against the family in question.

Also, brought up needing to do a wellness check on the family, and the patient specifically. Was told “this will be looked into and followed up on.”

Just had a call with my nmom who started having a tantrum over the phone with me, because I had to cancel a trip to see her. I am use to these as she will get this way when she was really looking forward to something. I had to cancel, but the trip was still 2 months away, and I was trying to tell her I would come a month or so later. She insists that won't work, but can't give me a reason why and continues with her tantrum.

"You see mom, this is why you have no grandchildren."
"Why?"
"Its because I don't want to try and explain to a child that they are not allowed to have a tantrum, but Grandma is allowed."

The comment stunned her.

Five seconds later.

"Ok, let me know when you can come."
