[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 347428, member: 1991"] Call the cops and talk to them. Let them know of your concern, that this boy is such a standover type of bully that he could get other kids to lie for him. Also tell them it's FYI, that you're not asking them to come out and actually Do anything, but to have your report on record. Ask their advice. They may be glad of a heads up of potential problems in the 'hood. Cops in our area have begun a program of working with local kids (the youth on the streets type of problem kids) on a weekly basis, just coming out and hanging with the kids, organising barbecues, outings etc and getting the kids to come along. It seems to be helping. difficult child 3 does not go - the kids (mostly boys) who go, are generally the ones like Tigger's bully, who are trying to control the streets as their means of entertainment. The cops here have begun this partly because of reported problems (including the attacks on difficult child 3) to try to stop these kids turning into gangs. From what I hear, there's some good stuff happening in our area. Cope being proactive - gotta love it! And if the cops you talk to decide to go talk to this kid (and other kids) they will have been alerted by you to the likelihood that they will have colluded on their stories. Experienced cops know how to ask the right questions to get to the truth. If you don't talk to the cops, this bully gets another scrap of control and his ego moves up another notch. It's like the story of the neighbourhood drug dealers - after ongoing supervision and interference in their activities, they usually have to go somewhere else. Marg [/QUOTE]
