[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 427337, member: 1550"] If this were me (and I differ also) I would be upset and mad too, but I'd also make [I][B]my [/B][/I]child have serious consequences for teasing a child who is obviously disturbed. My daughter goes to a school where there is a child who explodes because he is autistic. He is fine unless he is teased and the kids know it so sometimes they tease him on purpose. Instead of joining in, my daughter intercedes rather harshly in this boy's behalf, maybe because her brother is also on the spectrum. Kids can be mean and they know which child is vulnerable and sometimes they actually enjoy watching that child lash out. This does not excuse the other boy--this will be dealt with--but if it were my child who was a part of that, and he joined in, I would be furious at him too. My kids know that bullying is a grave consequence at our house. Would I call the cops? No. Behind closed doors, this boy is probably going to be dealt with very harshly. He may even get transferred to another school if he is dangerous. I know a lot of other parents will disagree with me, but I don't see how that would change anything. Violence is never the ansser, but as many of us know, sometimes certain vulnerable children can't really control themselves too well. Bullying is also not the answer. I guess I have a different view because I was mercilessly teased and assaulted at school, and the verbal abuse has stuck with me forever, not the physical abuse. To this day, I am still very shy and uncomfortable when meeting new people. I am 57. Both teasing and assaulting can and does often occur right in the middle of teachers and just as often they miss it. I don't know how. THIS should be dealt with VERY harshly. What were they doing? Twiddling their thumbs? Just my certainly unpopular opinion. [/QUOTE]
