@layman,
A couple years back one of my 4 year old nephews crept up on me while wildly swinging a metal "sheriff's badge" on a chain and hit me right above the eye, causing profuse bleeding.
I immediately grabbed the arm that had been swinging that chain.
In response, he immediately busted out bawling screaming that I had "hurted his arm."
I said: "Ya think THAT hurt, punk? Watch this."
Then I drop-kicked his sorry ass clean across the street.
He may grow up to be a criminal, or worse, but, by God, he won't grow up to be no damn cheese-eatin snowflake who injures others with impugnity while whining about how "unfair" it is for anyone to try to stop him.
I'll toughen his punk ass up if it's the last thing I do.
