Oi! Oi! Oi!

The girl I hooked up with in rehab has been stayin' at my place since she got out.

Its nice. She's cool and my boredom has been alleviated by her company.

We drove 2 hours to pick up her 4 year old. He has been staying with his crack addict dad and it just wasn't a good situation.

She is going back home on Thursday and it looks like I'm going to have to hurt the father of this little boy.

I'd rather not resort to violence but this guy is a threat to her mental health, sobriety, economic well-being and any other positive thing she has in her life.

This poor little boy has been exposed to all the negative shit that comes with addiction. The fuckin' dude smokes his pipe right in front of the kid.

He has her cell phone and car and has been delaying the return of both. She needs these two items to help in getting a job.

I'll ask him ONCE for the keys and phone.

My boots are polished. My laces are tight.

Don't EVER fuck with those who are trying to get better.
 
I agree that something needs to be done, but don't be getting arrested now OD. You're doing well now, and while it is noble to help your friend, you should try to find a way to do it that won't end with your being incarcerated or having the 4 year old hear about how his daddy (crackhead or not) can't walk anymore because of you.

Cooler heads prevail. Perhaps get a few stout fellows (or hired goons if necessary) to come with you and calmly explain to Mr. crackhead in person that he is returning your friends possessions. Immediately. Intimidation works quite nicely, and plus then you'll have witnesses (and backup) on hand if he wigs out and you have to stomp him.

Or you can try to sic the law on him. Narc him out and all that. Child services might have a thing or three to say to him, but with the boy's mother just out of rehab that might do more harm than good.

I'm just thinking out loud by the way. You can think of another way of doing this that beating on someone who is already heavily compromised I'm sure.
