IF YOUR CHILD WAS?IS BEING BULLIED……what advice/action ?

One day one of the local yobs got hold of my son, picked him up and tried to drag him into the woods nearby. I called the police. Said yob never did it again. A girl, also a local yob, screamed in his ear and nearly deafened him, and hit him. She thought she was *well ard*. I called the police. They went to the school to have a word with her. She burst into tears, and never did it again.

Another kid recently picked on my son reducing him to tears. I went round to see his father. It was sorted there and then and hasn’t happened since.

No one bullies my children and gets away with it. Simples.

This is not exactly about bullying, but referring on how I treat other people’s children. On one occasion a child under my care was extremely misbehaved. I telephone his mother and asked her to come and get him, and told her the reason why. Odd really, she took her son’s point of view over mine! If it had been the other way around, yes, I would have been mortified, but I would have been in a position to deal with my child and been grateful to be able to nip the behaviour in the bud before it could get worse! :?

Difficult one this, yes i would definately inform the school, but as lucy said, when i was at school, the moment the parents got involved they did infact get worse, maybe not physical but verbal taunting about being rats grasses, mummies boys daddies girl etc, but the way kids are nowadays its so much worse, it alot more physical often and more dangerous.
That said if i found out my kid was bullying someone and a father kicked him up the arse for it i’d not only prasie them i’d do it again when he got home. We are all different, yes its not politically correct or whatever nowadays, but maybe if kids did have the respect they once had for their elders knowing the possible consequences they wouldnt be what some of them are now and horrible lil shytes. And no i’m not saying it just cos its thin and i get on ok with him, if you read over any old posts on this kind of thing, its always been my stand on it, often to many peoples indignation, but hey there are no manuals we all do what we think is best.

Oh and anc, thats half the problem nowadays parents do and will take their kids word over anyone elsesand dont discipline them sufficiently hence the state we are in now.its wrong so wrong, you are the adult and it should be your word over theirs.

sorry anc u posted as i edited i added to your post lol

When my girl was at primary school there was a boy who was a bully in the top class of the school ( i mean the oldest class). he had a habit of bullying the smaller children. My girl had a “best mate” at the school , another little girl in her class. One day the bully hit my girl and knocked her to the ground. the other little girl tried to hit him but he just laughed., that evening, on the way home from school, my girl and her mate waited for him. as he came round a corner, my girl when low and tackled him around the knees and her mate went high and jumped on his back. By the time the teacher got out of the playgrond and pulled them both off, they had kicked the cr ap out of him. The teacher said she would tell the head master and his parents for h im and he was mortified. his reply, while crying as hard as he had made other children cry was along the lines of ” no chance! i dont want anyone to know i was beaten up by 2 girls!” . he left them alone after than and no one bullied either of them again!
