I like that approach. But when the parent only has their kid's half of the story, it's understandable why they would be pissed. I think most of us would be. Why did they do that to my kid? I'd want answers amd I wouldn't be happy about it.

I suspect most kids who would throw water at a cat like that would not be very good liars about it. Also, adults tend not to dump water on kids for no reason. I would definitely take the time to pick apart what happened, before going full papa bear mode.

I might be pissed, but my instinct would be to find out who I should be pissed at first, before going on the war path.

Many people are not like that.

Unfortunately so. I know I'm slightly weirdly wired.
