My 7 yr old
My son is 7 and since he started school at age 5 he is being bullied. It started when he had to wear a heart monitor for 30 days, kids started teasing him now it has gone to hitting. I have been to the school numerous times and have witnessed the physical abuse along with several other parents. The child received 2 hrs of in-school suspension. Now, today my son came home with a black eye and a black n blue mark on his face. Like I said, I have been to the Principal, the teachers and nothing has been done. I have threatened to file charges but doesn't seem like they care. What should I do?
If i was you. i would go to
If i was you. i would go to the police dept and file criminal charges. That is considered an assult. also i would punch one of the bullies in their stomache, im soooo serious. and hopefully they go complaint and ni bet that would raise an eyebrow. hope this helps. My daughter got bullied also, i went to the principal and demanded a parent conference with the other kids parents. sometimes the other kids parents dont know their kids are bullying other people, they can also stop the abuse. I also believe bullies are abused at home and they take it out on other kids, or they dont have the love and attention they need.
File charges. Force the
File charges. Force the school to act. Even if nothing ever comes of it, give the parents a big enough scare to reign their little monster in and so the school takes it more seriously, but if you threaten then you must follow through. I recently found out my 13 yo son was being bullied in school. Last week his bully got away with punching him in the face 7 times total over 3 days and choking him all while in English class and the teacher never saw it. I notified the school of everything. When I didn't hear back from them I called the principal back and let him know in a message I contacted an attorney and was pressing charges. I didn't need to say "and the school is liable". They got that part loud and clear. The boy is being expelled, but I'm still going forward with the charges.
Bullying my little brother.
I totally understand what she's going through. as a child i was bullier in middle school. Now my little brother is seven and he's being bullied on the school bus. There are three older children that are bullying him and he's having a hard time focusing in class because of his fear. He's been kicked in the ribs, he hides on the back of the bus under the seat and even been tricked out of money. He's afraid he'll get in trouble if he tells what's going on and it hurts me to kno he's going through this. I live in Jacksonville, But I'm goin to school in Miami so i can't do much. But my partents don't feel like it's that serious when it is. They don't understand that is extreme measure aren't taken, the bullying could get worse and he could end up beat up or in the hospital. If it was up to me, we would all be in court.
Bullies are also in nieghborhoods
My 11 year old grandaughter went to see her cousin across the street from her house. Her cousins mother is her 2ed cousins and has a new boyfriend with 3 children of his own. Anywhy, My grandaughter was pushed by this mans child and when my granddaughter tried to catch her balence she hit the girl in the face. The man and his children and her adult cousin along with another child that has nothing to do with it just a niegbor boy confronted my daughter about what happened but made it seem it was all my grandaughters fault. My question is my granddaughter had no reason to hit someone she doesn't know and was not threated by. I feel my daughter handled the situation with dignaty and respect. She told him kids will be kids and grouned my granddaughter and told her she will no longer be allowed to fo to see her cousins. A few days later while my granddaughter and her friend where walking around in the nieghbor hood, She was trapped by 7 children in the nieghborhood that threatened to beat her up and called her names and her mother names, some of these kids where 4 years her senior. She gotr away and was terrified. The police will not do nothing and the landlord of the park will not do anything. Last year these same kids did something simular to my grandaughter and it esculated to the point where my daughters car was keyed. No proof, no witnesses nothing can be done. My daughter is so scared for her daughters safety she cried and cried yesterday. These are a gang of ruffians that control the whole mobile home park. There needs to be a state law to charge parents and children that gang up on a single child not only at school but in the nieghborhood. Children should not have to live in fear that older children will hurt them. Children should not have to live in fear when their is many against one. Children should not take matters in their own hands when the parents of the children involved worked thing out. I hear it all the time "right of passage" it is not a right of passage when it is many against one.
bullying a child with a disability
My son is in middle school he has some disabilities one being tourette syndrome the other adhd, he is getting bullied to the point he has severe panic attacks, he comes home telling us the students make fun of him because of his tics, and hit him , he has several bruises . when we call the teacher says he cant baby sit the kids or controll what they say nothing is being done to stop this from the school or school board what do i do now?
I would say lawyer! Try the
I would say lawyer! Try the ACLU of NC also.
I know the feeling
For the last few months I have been running to my daughters school. She has emotional and mental probelms and is on ssi, the same two girls keep bullying her. My daughter loved school, now she sits and cries now wanting to go and I do not know what to do anymore. Today I am going to file charges against the two students and the school, I can not take seeing this happen any longer. THESE schools scream no bullying but it is allowed to go on. The one that are bullied are the children that have mental pyhsical and emotional problems. I think it is time parents stand up for their kids.
Bullying
My daughter has been getting harrassed since 5th grade. I was hoping when she started middle school things would change, they didn't. they got worse, (and the school is fully aware of the situation). On March 15th, I had to call the police for obscene voice mails and text messages and over 50 calls in 20 mins, from 2 girls she goes to school with. They lied to the cop and said they didn't do anything, and after he said I have phone records, they confessed. The outside bullying stopped, but at school it got worse. On March 24, my daughter called me from school to bring her an inhaler, when I got there she started crying and told me she can't handle it anymore. It happened to be lunch so I went with her to lunch and those girls were rolling their eyes and pointing at her. I walked up to them and told them to "Knock it off". I then received a ticket for Disordely Conduct and a Notice of Trespass the next day. I have court for "Victimizing" the bullies on April 26th. The only victim here is my daughter, and I as a parent defended my child, while the court system is allowing this behavior to go on by turning the bullies into the victims.
Bullying
I feel your pain.. My daughter has been bullied since 6th grade, She is a Sophmore in high school now and every year I would hope it would get better. Girls are vicious they recruit other girls.
In 6th grade my daughter was excluded from others by these girls, no one wants to be seen talking to the victim and my daughter spent many lunch periods alone. She had her phone and several other items stole and found in the toilet, She was pushed into bushes, ridiculed daily and If she said anything then it would become worse. Finally I ended up in the principals office every day and I do mean every day. I would come equiped with articles about school bullying and how principals did not want to deal with these issues, with articles on the effects of bullying for the student and finally a daily report that I had my daughter sit down daily and describe how her day would play out names included ( my daughter would hate this but I had enough). We did this daily for at least two weeks. On one occasion I saw one of the girls sitting outside the school and when my daughter walked past her she made a rude comment, I got out of the car and said let's go talk to the principal she finally walked into the office and I turned her over to the principal after I told him what I witnessed.( I really wanted to be very rude myself and it took alot not to ) The principal had several meeting with my daughter and apparently had no idea how to handle the situation cause he made several comments like what is it about you that they want to bully you and what can we do to change you?
Upon hearing this on my next daily visit I asked him what my daughter did wrong? when he said nothing, Then I asked why she would need to change and not these students with the bad behavior...
The principal agreed that he had no idea of what to do to make it stop and was deeply apalogetic. He allerted every teacher about the situation and said he wanted anyone acting even slightly rude to be sent to the office for questioning, He had hall monitors watching for any bad behavior and finally he gave very stiff punishments to all involved.. That year took alot of persistance but it did seize for that year.
I wont lie to you and say that was the end, cause every year has been new issues and heartache. This past week My daughter was assulted in the hallway by a girl she barely knows,( this is the first time anyone has been this physical) but later found out that the girl throws cookies at my daughter every day at lunch. When the girl grabbed my daughter and hit her, My child cursed but did not fight back, as instructed by school policy however my daughter was suspended for half a day for cursing, The other girl was given alternative education for 20 days amd a ticket. I am very lucky my child has become very resilant and takes most things with a grain of salt now, She is a president on the drill team she stays involved in a lot of activities to keep her confidence going, and I pray for High school to be over. But sixth grade was the begining of this long battle for us and was very emotional for us both. She wrote many dark and depressed letters and I was very concerned. Although I have found it almost impossible to change other peoples behavior I have found that what helps my child is being involved in many activities outside of school and in,Even if is volenteering, library club, ETC. Making sure she knows you are in her corner, and she has many people that love her, counceling sometimes helps to get it out to an unbias source and be extremely persistant to those leaders who's responsibility it is to keep those schools safe.. I also have an 8 year old daughter and she is already coming home telling me things that lead me to be concerned for her at school. This next year we are enrolling into a nearby school that takes out of district students, We shall see how it goes. will pray for a happy resolve for you and your child.. I know how helpless it can feel.
I am persuing the same
I am persuing the same charges against boys at my daughter's school. She has been bullied by them all year and nothing has been done. It is about time these people learn that this will not be tolerated!
KIDS ON SCHOOL BUS BULLYING PARENT!
The kids on my son's school bus call me obscene and horrible names and are doing it every day during pick up and drop off. They are beginning to become too much. What can i do?
To justinsmom
"A startling statistical fact is that a vast majority, greater than 90%, of those juveniles who bully end up being a felon when they are adults." PLEASE post with a link showing those statistics! What BS! Bullying is wrong, but I would put money on the fact that almost all kids, at one time or another, has bullied, just like almost all kids, at one time or anither, have been bullied. And most go on to become normal, successful adults. But don't post crap statistics unless you back it up with a FACTUAL link to such!
My son has a girl following
What did you do?
My son's going through the same thing. What did you do? How did it turn out? Is it over?
Need Help What to do!
This happened to my daughter
This happened to my daughter as well. I threatened the school district that I would sue them as "assessory to the assault" if they dare suspend my daughter. My daughter was trapped in the hall with several students who were apart of the violence and no teachers around. What was she to do? She defended herself against the aggressor and the school wanted to suspend her. Unacceptable! I did get the school to back down with my threat and the suspended the aggressor but not my daughter.
Need Help What to do!
We had a similar incident, where my son was being beaten up on the bus.
I spoke with his principal twice and was told that the issue would be resolved.
When it happened again, I arranged a meeting with the principal, the bus driver, myself, and my son.
In the presence of the principal and the bus driver, I told my son that the next time someone started to bully him he was to double up his fist and flatten every nose within reach.
The principal threatened expulsion if he struck another kid. I simply replied that if he got expelled, I would take a few days off work, and we would take a trip to Six Flags, or some other fun thing.
The moral of my story is, that sometimes you have to fight back.
You would also be interested to know that the next day the 2 kids who we had complained about repeatedly were removed from the bus.
NEED HELP WHAT TO DO
As a victim, and an activist against cases like these, I have spent hours and hours looking up laws to go to. I have found Indiana laws on self defense, and here is one of them:
IC 35-41-3-2
Use of force to protect person or property
Sec. 2. (a) A person is justified in using reasonable force against another person to protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person:
(1) is justified in using deadly force; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
if the person reasonably believes that that force is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to the person or a third person or the commission of a forcible felony. No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary.
(b) A person:
(1) is justified in using reasonable force, including deadly force, against another person; and

(c) With respect to property other than a dwelling, curtilage, or an occupied motor vehicle, a person is justified in using reasonable force against another person if the person reasonably believes that the force is necessary to immediately prevent or terminate the other person's trespass on or criminal interference with property lawfully in the person's possession, lawfully in possession of a member of the person's immediate family, or belonging to a person whose property the person has authority to protect. However, a person:
(1) is justified in using deadly force; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
only if that force is justified under subsection (a).
(d) A person is justified in using reasonable force, including deadly force, against another person and does not have a duty to retreat if the person reasonably believes that the force is necessary to prevent or stop the other person from hijacking, attempting to hijack, or otherwise seizing or attempting to seize unlawful control of an aircraft in flight. For purposes of this subsection, an aircraft is considered to be in flight while the aircraft is:
(1) on the ground in Indiana:
(A) after the doors of the aircraft are closed for takeoff; and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(B) until the aircraft takes off;
(2) in the airspace above Indiana; or
(3) on the ground in Indiana:
(A) after the aircraft lands; and
(B) before the doors of the aircraft are opened after landing.
(e) Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b), and (c), a person is not justified in using force if:
(1) the person is committing or is escaping after the commission of a crime;
(2) the person provokes unlawful action by another person with intent to cause bodily injury to the other person; or
(3) the person has entered into combat with another person or is the initial aggressor unless the person withdraws from the encounter and communicates to the other person the intent to do so and the other person nevertheless continues or threatens to continue unlawful action.
(f) Notwithstanding subsection (d), a person is not justified in using force if the person:
(1) is committing, or is escaping after the commission of, a crime;
(2) provokes unlawful action by another person, with intent to cause bodily injury to the other person; or
(3) continues to combat another person after the other person withdraws from the encounter and communicates the other person's intent to stop hijacking, attempting to hijack, or otherwise seizing or attempting to seize unlawful control of an aircraft in flight.

However, an officer is justified in using deadly force only if the officer:
(1) has probable cause to believe that deadly force is necessary to prevent the escape from custody of a person who the officer has probable cause to believe poses a threat of serious bodily injury to the officer or a third person; and

PLEASE contact me, for I am a real victim of these pitty offenses for school officials. (765) 465-5082. My name is Jacob Jones, and I need help to put an end to corruption among school officials. Thank you!
Bullying
Well, I would talk to the superintendant, then maybe if that did not work, talk with local police magistrate about filing charges against school.
Contact a local attorney who
Contact a local attorney who is knowledgeable about your local and state laws. More than likely, you can file charges AGAINST the PARENTS of the child. Also, get the school involved RIGHT AWAY. If the school does not help to intervene (whatever misbehavior is happening on school grounds), you may be able to hold them accountable as well. Good luck!
I was small for my age and
Bullying
I was bullied as a child, and after my older brother tried to put an end to it, I finally took matters into my own hands. It took care of the situation IMMEDIATELY.
Children need to be taught that they have the power within themselves to stand up for themselves, that they have the same rights as everyone else. Unfortunately, a growing problem in our society is lack of parental involvement and supervision. A startling statistical fact is that a vast majority, greater than 90%, of those juveniles who bully end up being a felon when they are adults.
Children have to be taught to stand up for themselves, to defend, themselves, to do the next right thing because the right and moral adult supervision is not always there.
I am a firm believer that NOT ONLY should the bully be held accountable, but the PARENT(S) be held accountable and responsible as well.
MAYBE, just MAYBE this will turn things around.
BOTTOM LINE: the RIGHT lesson in humanity, integrity, accountability, morals, and fair treatment NEED TO BE INSTILLED BY PARENTS AND CONTINUALLY TAUGHT AT HOME!
PARENTS..........GET A FREAKING CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!
My opinion and only a
More than a week?
Charges filed???
Bullying
Is That
Just tell your kids to let
