Man, that just breaks my heart watching that. I wanna drive up there and beat the shite out of those kids for him. My son has dealt with some bullying, too, so I know how helpless his mom has to feel. You want to go deal with it yourself, but your hands are tied.

Had an incident a few weeks ago where a few specific kids were bullying one of my son's friends on the playground, pushing him down and kicking him while he was on the ground. My son tried to intervene and they turned their aggression on him. Wouldn't let them go around them in order to go tell the teacher. One was a girl and was telling the first boy that he couldn't hit her back because she was a girl. Freaking pathetic. I took it up with the teacher and another teacher that works with my son, and he escalated it up to the assistant principal. They called all of those involved in to talk individually and things have been fine since that time. My son now makes regular visits to the assistant principal's office and another teacher's office to keep them in-the-loop and that seems to be good for both he and they. Gives him a chance to vent and know that people are there for him when I can't be.

I hope this young man is able to get some better support inside the school so this can be squashed permanently.
