His mother's comment

Wilsonandrewsc, exactly. That's why it really po'd me when his mother, after noticing the cut on Slim's face, said "what did you do?"

Some people are like that - blame the victim and ignore the perpetrator's actions. Occasionally, my parents would go out for the evening and use one of my brothers and sisters to babysit me. So my brother and I put a kite together to occupy the evening. However, I had trouble understanding the directions. I was 10 and he was 21. Kids are more careless about running into the street without looking than adults are. That can happen if you lose hold of a kite and it blows into the street. So I'm sure they purposely made the directions at an adult reading level so that there would more likely be adult supervision when making and ultimately flying the kite. Whenever I couldn't understand the directions, my brother yelled at me and hit me (not lightly, but very hard and painfully). I was crying and hysterical because of what he was doing. When my parents finally came home and we finished the kite, my mom first saw the kite (but not us) and said, "Having fun?" When she walked further into the room and saw me crying and hysterical, she looked at me funny like I was the one who had done something wrong. I didn't tell her what happened, but she wouldn't have listened to me anyway.

Mitch shouldn´t have hit her? Is that REALLY a comment? I think they PRETTTTYYYY well established that Mitch is evil and a villain. Of COURSE he is used to hitting women...Lord people. He had NO conscience about it.
