yea you over did it. Bad situations can invoke even good ppl to do bad immature things. You didn't like the way he was acting because he wasn't allowed to get what he wanted. Now reflect upon the way you acted cause you didn't get what you wanted. I know you had your reasons. But in his 12 year old mind he had his reasons. You're lucky no one called the police. I have kids so I know what they can put you thru. So I'll tell you what I did when i over reacted in a similar fashion you did. First i realized what I did was wrong and no different than how they acted no matter what my good intentions were, I apologized to them and used the situation as a bad example of how anybody can react if they don't use their head and let their emotions take over. Patience is key, that situation more than likely would have blown over or at least been brought down a little. Plus you'd be setting an positive example on how to react in 'hot' situations. A good potential black family was in jeopardy of never happening because of a game/toy. Good luck in the future and thanks for sharing.
