    a grandfather putting someone in a headlock? Is that even legally considered to be abuse, i’m pretty sure if you lost your footing in the headlock there is a non insignificant chance that you injure or kill your grandfather. Unless this is one of those “my family has children at the age of 20” type families.

      “Put in a headlock and thrown to the ground” doesn’t just sound like playful wrestling to me.

        thrown to the ground definitely wouldn’t count. Just a headlock could though.

          Abuse doesn’t require the abuser to cause injuries. Reacting violently to an innocuous request is abuse enough.

            true, i didn’t read the article, as most articles are generally rather shit, and there was a summary, not sure what the point of the summary would be if not to skip the article, anyway those were just my immediate thoughts on the statement.
