DEAR ABBY: I'd like to add my 2 ccuts to the debate of whether parents should tearh their children to fight back. When our son was young he was picked on by every bully in the neighborhood. My husband forbid our boy to raise his hands In violence against another. Yes, even in self defense. We held back ttio tears when' the little fellow would come home and whipped.

My husband tnugtit him that the difference between man and animal was that man was endowed by his Creator with the intelligence to reason. Animals relied on their brute strength. -Today our son is an outstanding lawyer. In his childhood he lost many a fi.st fight, but since he has achieved manhood he hn.s lost verv few coses. PROUD MOM DEAR ABBY: The letter from Dear Abby A Cose In Point! Abigail Van Buren Mrs.

who didn't know about what to do about her son who took a licking from nil the kids in the neighborhood, reminded me of my own experience. When our boy was 7, he took numerous beatings from a neighbor boy who was the same age, but much bigger. From my window 1 saw the bigger boy pick a fight with mine. My boy would run away, but the bigger boy would chase him and continue to hit him, I got so furious I ran outside, took my boy's fists and literally FORCED him Jo pound the other boy, but good. The boy's father came out and do you know, he took me to court! (here is a law iigainst what I had done.

From Hi en on I lol the boys fight it out themselves.
