[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 68865, member: 3704"] Marguerite, I am so sorry that difficult child 3 and your family had to experience this event. There can never be any excuses that hold water for this type of mob violence. I believe that your idea of the school education program promoting compassion is a wonderful idea. The school needs to step up to the plate here and educate the kids. There are plenty of good programs around - or even better, they can create their own. difficult child experienced this problem AT school a number of years ago. He didn't tell me and you can be certain that the school officials didn't tell me - they took the path of least resistance and looked the other way. Who told me? One of his classmates, a beautiful, shy little girl. The situation was bothering her conscience - what a special little one! husband and I went into high gear. Our community is a small, closeknit one like yours. Everybody knows everyone else's business. A blessing and a curse, according to your viewpoint at the time. We politely went to the principal of the school, offered our assistance, and asked what we could do to make this unacceptable behavior stop immediately. The school pulled their "no bullying" program out of the closet where it was gathering dust, and presented it to all of the kids. It has definitely made a difference.
