    Assault doesn’t need physical contact. Just yelling at him threateningly and chasing is more than enough to qualify. If she hit him it would also be battery.

      I agree, but imagine a situation without race involved. If my wife has something taken and chased a child to get it back, then got charged for assault, it’d be laughed out of court.

      This could be classed as assault, depending on intention, I think the investigation is looking into her character to prove the intention. Obviously she has a shot character, but they may need subpoenas from judges etc to look at phone records for evidence. It all takes time. I’m sure she’s getting her just desserts eventually.

        If your wife makes a habit of chasing and yelling at children, you should be careful. She could be charged and it is unlikely it would be laughed out of court.

          Man it’s like you picked 2% of what I said and felt that’s enough…

          I counted, I think it’s 89 words and you’re response is as far as I can tell to one word: wife. So between 2-3%.
