 Okay I am the baby sitter to my mother in law'a kids.
One of them (8yrs old) Punched me, kicked me, slapped me in the face ,and threw a large rock and it hit me in the mouth ( IN PUBLIC!)
If she was my kid I would've busted her ass, but I can't. What would you have done?

 Thats freakin crazy!! You really need to discuss this with your MIL AND your husband... I would actually talk to DH first and get kind of a feel for what MIL might say.. Then talk to her. With watching her kids you should kind of already have a basis for what behavior is "tolerated" and what to do about it. Also if you can you need to figure out why an 8 year old would be acting that way... They at that point should KNOW thats not acceptable. YKWIM? Has anything like this ever happened before? Let us know what happens!

If they are old enough to commit this kind of assault they are old enough to pay the price for it.  That goes beyond general misbehavior

An 8 year old arrested for assault?

I would have called my MIL and told her what was going on and gave her a time frame to come get her children before I called and had him or her arrested for assault.
