my 12 year-old is being bullied again. he hadn't talked abut it in a while and everything seemed OK. his disposition is always cheerful and although he has moderate to severe learning and social disabilities, still loves to go to school. at least, he has never once said "i don't like it there" or "school sucks!". yesterday he was ambushed and shot at with a BB gun off school property. we have alerted the school and are waiting to talk to the RCMP-school liaison officer today. is there anyone out there who can guide me through this before i do something stupid? i have a very short fuse and am quite a poweful man. combine the two and you have an assault waiting to happen. not that i would ever harm a child, but if i ever confront one of these bullies' parents and they piss me off, i could very easily take it out on them-- verbally (a given) or physically.

Nice post Shink. However I think the situation is a little more serious. His kid got shot at with a BB gun. If the bully kept stealing his lunch or just simply made fun of him I can see what you mentioned above working. But if my kids got shot at by a couple jerks... I'd be pissed.

The BB gun thing is very, very serious. But trust me, you will not resolve the bullying by dealing with that attack. All you will resolve by dealing with the BB gun attack is the BB gun attack. Two things are going on here and they both need their own strategy. |

I would try to press charges and have the kids expelled. I can't believe his kid would still go to school after something like that. |

Having a child who already has behavioral issues expelled from school will do nothing but make him worse. Yes its a serious issue but fighting fire with nuclear weapons doesn't solve anything, it just means one more kid in juvi. -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."
"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

You're right, the correctional system tends to make people worse... however I doubt you'll be saying that if it was your kid getting shot at. |
