My son has been kicked hard in front of a teacher during lunch time, without
my intervene, that teacher got very mad since that boy lied to her that my
son has "invited" him to kick my son and the teacher reported to the school
immediately.
It turned out that kid has also kicked another teacher before and the school
determined to give him probation, since "nothing that bad ever happened in
the 30 years of school history".
Later on, that kid has stopped my son in the hallway when nobody was there
and threatened my son he will kick hard again and he will make sure to break
my son's leg this time.
My son told him to go ahead and just do it, and he will have to pay if my
son ended up in hospital.Then he never bothers my son again.
All I want to say is, there are bullies in this world, and we are not
going to change them, but we need to know and teach our kids how to protect
ourselves.
