ya, CEC should give you the tapes, but I don't see how Chuck E Cheese, or any restaurant, has anything to do with what happened to you.

Are you saying they somehow solicit low class customers who want to start fights with other customers? Or that they didn't remove the customers who harassed you?

From what I read, the manager offered to pay you for your glasses which was broken by the customer? Sounds OK. If they are witholding tapes, thats one thing, but I don't see how Chuck E Cheese is some God protected restaurant where nothing bad is allowed to happen?

It seems like you dealt with an @sshole family, that could have happened at a park, a baseball game, another restaurant, anywhere basically. Also the cops handled it poorly.

Cinderella I'm sorry you had to go through that hell wow.... scary things in this crazy world. You can't even be safe in a so called innocent children's place called Chuck E Cheese. I feel for you and I don't know why the other person couldn't just pay the damages her own kid did to your property and be on your jolly ways. Sounded like she asked for trouble on the way out viciously attacking you with your children present I mean that is just so cruel and wrong. Her own children were present also from what I presume in the story so that person was putting her own children in jeopardy by enganging in violence.

I know people on these forums keep on hounding you about getting self-defense lessons or whatever. I'm a listener of the free talk live program I don't know if you've heard of them. They advertise something called "The tiger Light" which looks like an innocent flash light but it has mace in it they say it has the stopping power of a handgun and it's a non lethal thing to use to temporarily stop any attacker or whatever. http://www.tigerlight.net/Home_Page.html just giving a suggestion in case you do want something that is non lethal and stuff. By the way plaese keep us posted about everything. We're behind you in your search for justice in this crazy mess.

the police aren't there to protect, they're there to take notes.

it's up to you to protect your family, particularly when there are kids involved.

myself, personally, if someone came at my wife (female or otherwise), I would grab the first solid object and go to town. i recommend that in the future you and yours do the same.

when it comes to your safety and your life, it's better to apologize than ask for permission, imo.

has ebg taught you nothing?

ohhh... and take chuck e.'s ass to court. if they've got that kinda customer, they need appropriate security.

I have to go with this too. What if the woman who attacked had a knife and decided to use it. Simple effective steps to protect yourself and incapicate her would have worked. Today you have to expect the worst and throwing in the kids could make it worse.

First - file a complaint, go down and swear out a WARRANT for assault. While there put a restraining order on her as now your info is public and she can see where you live. Put safety procedures in place for next 90 days, as If she is arrested they may bother you.

Second - file complaint with District office and Home office with the restaurant.

Third give it a few days, if still upset and pissed off then file for damages to woman and see about restaurant.

Good Luck

It may be worth noting that Chuck E. Cheese is the #1 place for fights, far surpassing even biker bars. This is because the parental instincts kick in with the kids around.

Haven't been to a Chuckie Cheese in decades, but it sounds like they need door men or security guards these days.

It's not ALWAYS wrong to hit women...if I was the fiance I would have stomped the shit out of that lady.

It's funny to read this because earlier today I read a story about this guy who got assaulted at a Chuck E Cheese yesterday.

Police: Man pistol-whipped at south Toledo Chuck E. Cheese


Posted by Nick Dutton - email

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Toledo police are looking into a fight that happened Sunday at the Chuck E. Cheese on Airport Highway in south Toledo.

Police say it started when a man blew an air horn inside the kids' restaurant.

A parent confronted him and it turned into a fist-fight which spilled outside.

Police say that's when the man with the air horn pulled out a gun and pistol-whipped the other man.

Investigators are trying to find the man with the gun.

And you would be in jail.

Also I imagine if her fiancee hit her all her guy friends would have gotten involved too. I think the fiance did the right thing considering the circumstances.

another Chucky visit gone wrong.

Judging by the comments on that article and others, there's a lot of stupid people in Toledo. Holy shit how can you live there?

Nothing surprises me anymore, not even flagrant assaults at Chuck E. Cheese. Just another sign of the continual decline of American society.

To OP, you've done about the best you can do given your random circumstances. You can go to the local magistrate's office and swear out a warrant on this woman if you want to. Im sure the police have her info from the incident, especially since you mentioned she may press charges against your husband. You don't need police to file charges against someone! Fight fire with fire, though this will cost you money! Get an attorney if criminal charges are already involved.
I don't think you should go after CEC for negligence since they don't have much legal responsibility to protect you from another customer's random actions, no more than police have a legal responsibility to protect you from another person's random actions (they don't). Either pursue your incident as a criminal assault or just let it go and learn the HUGE lesson from your experience. And stay away from cesspools of humanity like Chuck E Cheese.

looks like i have alot of work ahead of me....i will be calling more media outlets today and researching the othe cases of violence around the country at CEC...i have my appt with the lawyer tomorrow afternoon...and to whoever posted that sarcastic comment of how we will have to lobby for this and that...listen if u go to a place that is for kids you expect their parents to be supervising their kids! esp a four year old boy!! and secondly CEC has numerious cases across the country involving violence on their grounds....this has to stop! kids go to these places and seeing as this is a normal thing to happen at CEC they should most DEF have security there!!

Move to another state that respects your rights and start carrying a firearm. People act far more civilized when there are armed people walking around.

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

I'm being dead serious when I say this. Move to New Hampshire and Open Carry everywhere you go. Do not rely on the police. The police are not there to protect you. They are there to enforce State Dictates.

I recommend Harry Brownes work: How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

Start living as a free individual.

As to the NH and OC thing, I can't stress enough how important this is. When I move to NH I'm going to be OC my rifle & pistol everywhere I go. I am ready to face the tyrants 24/7 (Probably run out of ammo very fast....but I won't go down without watering the tree!)

That's my humble advice.

 

[Baptist]

Here is my advice if you live in a place that is not open carry friendly.


I have not read all the posts in this thread, only the OP. Like AustrianEcon just said, it's a bad idea to rely on the police. In a situation like yours, my family would have defended ourselves, then promptly left the scene to avoid the risk of getting in trouble for defending ourselves. You can buy Skock n Awe stun guns for $99 or really nice tasers (Taser International) for $349. Both companies even make pink ones for you ladies.

By the time that woman (and any of her relatives who jumped in to help) recovered from the stun, you guys would be in your car and on your way.

Taser

Advantage Taser has over stun guns: can use form a distance. Disadvantage: you have to register it to activate it and when you shoot it leaves behind little probes so the police know who the taser belongs to. Stun guns do not do this. (BTW if anyone knows of a taser that does not leave behind identifying information I'd love to know the make/model.)

unfortunately i cannot leave the state of mass...and a coworker of mine has started a petition to boycott chuck e cheese....consulting with lawyers today but we just got hit with this damn storm and im stuck at home....ive requested to view the CEC videos...i sent a letter certified mail...we'll see what happens with that...my daughters still cant sleep at night....thank you all again for the great advice

 

[Cinderella]

here are just a few cases of the violence at chuck e cheese across the country!!

http://grahamten.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/a-history-of-chuck-e-cheese-violence/

now the difference between my case and the rest of these is that my family was not fighting with another family over a game or photbooth or tokens or tickets!!! we were leaving the establishment after the aggressors child broke my glasses...and not only was i assaulted but that woman who assaulted me was allowed to stay further endangering other families!!
