If someone touches your belly, can you punch them?

Question

Answer

I don't like people touching me. They need to realize they are not touching the baby its my tummy. No touchy!

Answer

Hehe, I would advise against it! I don't think they are meaning to be annoying, I think some people just love babies. I've never touched somebody's pregnant belly, but there was the cutest little newborn on the plane next to me yesterday, and I was sooo tempted to ask her mother if I could hold her, and then I realized just how crazy that sounded, since they were complete strangers!😳

Answer

My cop husband made a squinty face and shook his head lol. 
I don't mind people touching my belly, but I did come across someone that made me feel uncomfortable... I was  sitting down and she came from the front of me, walked around towards my back, and from behind grabbed  my belly and stated wiggling my belly asking if the baby was awake...that I wasn't ok with

Answer

I find it weird unless she's moving and someone wants to feel the kicks. just randomly rubbing my belly is weird.

Answer

I wouldn't punch someone but I would slap their hand away and make it very clear that touching me without my consent is not acceptable (it's actually classed as common assault here).  I really don't understand how anyone thinks it's ok to reach out and touch someone like that - especially strangers (which I hear happens a fair bit).

Answer

I voted "yes" ...but I only punch in my mind!

I'm OK with my husband touching my belly and the young kiddos I nanny for... anyone else will be pushed away! So weird to me!

Answer

I would, because they laid hands first. I know full well I'd get an assault charge, but since I used to work at the jail (in the kitchen) I know I'd be put in solitary and fed the good food until I posted bail, I'd just have to suffer through the jailers laughing and poking fun.

Answer

Touching without consent is legally battery, so I'm sure it would just be seen as self defense, granted police would be more receptive if you actually feel unsafe. I would advise against it though, scream at them, slap their hand or something, you can't get in trouble for either of those.

Answer

I just move away as they reach. My husband if he's around, generally makes a comment about no touching. Lol
