Bullied Teen Lands In Hospital After Being Beaten, School Presses Charges – Against Bullied Teen

[gwheezie]

124. My daughter was briefly bullied

there was a group of bullies that were torturing kids. I was working on an adolescent psych unit and my daughters friends were showing up after suicide attempts Since I was the manager of that unit the social worker and I offered to talk to the teachers and kids about this outbreak and the school said they didn't have a problem with suicides.
Anyway my daughter told me about the bullies. They pushed her down a flight of stairs and one guy tried to shove her in front of a car. I did all the rational parent things and I snapped when nothing stopped the bullying. So I told my daughter that if she was assaulted to call the police and come home. I was sick of dealing with the school. I did not want my daughter to grow up feeling someone could assault her and she had no recourse. And my husband and I had a talk with the ringleaders parents. We told them we would press charges and relentlessly hound their son until he eventually wound up in jail. We also told them if my daughter much as tripped and fell down even if there son was nowhere near her we would hunt him down and they would never see him again. I know we sounded nuts but I told them we would take care of him if the police didn't. The bullying stopped.
So funny thing years later tough guy had joined the military and came back to town after going awol because he couldn't handle it. So I told my daughter you want to get even with him? So we called the MP's and they came and snatched him up. It was kinda sweet.
So yes I threatened a kid but my daughter was not going to learn that she should shut up and be a victim and I wanted her to know her momma would stand up for her.
