If it was an accident and they were sincere, certainly. But anything short of that, I have a hard time picturing how one wouldn't mean to physically harm anyone. It's good if they regret it and are genuinely sorry, but if it was deliberate when it happened, then yes they did mean to. Them saying that would make it hard for me to believe their apology is sincere.

Umm in the past I have because I had l put my hands on them

no, i fought her td bc she said "i didnt think it would hurt.." while laughing. im suspended for a week.

idk i wouldn't trust them anyway they'd do it again

Zero tolerance for physical violence. Not even a slap.

I wouldn't leave them with a way to reach out to me at all, personally

No
