I posted a discussion on some kids bullying my son...Some advice i know that mylotters will give me is to go to the parents and tell them that their child is bullying mine.
I did that once, the kid not only bullied my child but kicked him so hard between the legs that my child fell in across the kitchen floor out of breath. I had to take him to the hospital and he was really bruised and swollen....This was something so big that I couldnt ignore it, and thus I went to the boys parents and told them what he had done.
The next day i saw this kid, that had kicked my son and he was beaten black and blue, when I asked him what had happened he said he fell down over some steps...It was rumored after that the mother had beat the crap out of him for bullying my son..and I felt horrible...almost now to a point that I am scared to confront parents in fear of what they will do the their kids....

You can see where that boy learned his bullying now, can't you. If the bullying takes place at school, the school should help you, or the counselor, even if it is not at school. I did not see the original post--is your son often the target of bullies? What is it that they target, can he learn the self confidence that repels bullies? Take some martial arts classes, not so he can fight, but so he can have a calm and strong demeanor, and self discipline. I can understand your reluctance to put another child at risk from his parents, or someone else. Bullying is learned.

I know that our kids are a reflection of their parents...had I known that this would have happened to him I might have gone to the school, or a guidance councilor, but eventually the parents would have found out, and the bullying that particular time was too severe to ignore.
thanks for posting

Wow. You did the right thing going to his parents. Now what his parents do is their responsibility. Now I feel that if you find out for "CERTAIN" that his parents did the bruising etc to the child then those parents should be reported to the police. Actually I feel I'd go to the police as it is now explaining everything from the start just as a precaution and safety step for you & your son. Maybe not press ant charges but just to have it on record of the bullying that has occured in the past. Then if this ever happens again there is already a record of it with the Police Department. Just my feelings. Good luck in all this. I wish you the best. Go get a report written up please to protect you and protect your child from any further bullying. And especially to protect the other child from his parents possibly.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

Thanks for the advice Bob, actually this kid in particular bullied my son a couple of years ago...I did find out that the mom had beat him, but it was for stealing, not hurting my son, would you believe that. The mom has since passed away, seems she had some rare form of cancer. The dad ended up in jail and I am not sure where the kid is now, I can only hope that he ended up in a good, loving foster home, or was adopted, and has found out what a loving neutering home is really like.
thanks for posting!!
