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.

i would have gone to the parents and discussed this THOROUGHLY. the kid can't just get a slap on the wrist for this type of thing. if he is willing to point a BB gun at another person and fire it, then he has serious problems. your son is 12, im guessing that the other kids are in within the same age group. 12 is not too young and they should know by that time that it isn't right or safe to point a BB gun at another person. where did he get the gun in the first place? not only should the kid be dealt with, but the parents should as well. i'm not saying that the kid should go to juvie, but should seek some sort of professional help and the parents should be chastized as well.
it starts out with BB guns and impressing friends, what happens when he finds a real gun and is angry at another kid? its these kinds of 'what ifs' that should be taken into consideration because anything is possible when children are young because they don't fully know right from wrong or are just ignorant of what is right and do what is wrong because of peer pressure or other things. talk to the parents if you haven't already and tell them he should seek some sort of help for their kid or some sort of 'family help' group so that they all get in on it. jus my .02 jus my .02 -------------------- Pandelica 2.0 in progress. |
