It really depends on the situation. Instead of the kid, the adult may become the target. I don't know, but I would not be surprised if a dozen or more people die each year from making an intervention in a situation, that calls for it. Shocking, but it helps in a lot of health-care situations as well.
If a ten year old boy has reason to fear the stick, most adults would have reason to fear the stick as well. Unless of course you are well trained in taking down people, but that is not the purpose of the confrontation.
What I do not understand, is how it is possible to be sent to jail for drinking alcohol when you are underage, and how this goes unpunished ...
