[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 606800, member: 1024"] You're right Witz, I shouldn't HAVE to pull him from the bus. The fact is, I live on a cul de sac with 20 houses. The younger kids on the bus have seen the older ones teasing him and doing stuff, so they've all thought it was just okay to do it too. So, if Mighty fights back, he gets into trouble. If four or five kids say he started it.... He looks like the bad guy, because the older kids are pushing the younger ones to egg him on and if he hits back or does something to a younger kid, where does it leave him? These days, colleges are looking into records of middle and grammar schools, so I've been told. I don't wan that kind of thing on his record. I'd rather just avoid the entire situation. He's sooooo relieved now that I've got him off that bus. He was so happy. I'd like to work it out with the mother. She [I]was [/I]my friend. I dunno now. I emailed her asking her to call me and she has not called me (she's either ignoring me or just hasn't checked email and I will give her the benefit of the doubt, for now). I will text her tomorrow. If she doesn't call me, then I will let her know in an email that this will not be tolerated again and I will go to the school if it does. Her kids are big sports kids..very good and will likely get scholarships. If they've got a bullying issue in their record, then schools may give that scholarship to someone else. They need to tread carefully....if she won't deal with me directly on this issue, then she will have to deal with it that way. It will get ugly. I'm hoping it doesn't go that far. [/QUOTE]
