Most schools have a code of conduct whereby the school teachers and principal are required to followed specific district policy on such matters. Investigate your school's policy and if it is not being followed, demand immediate action from the principal--in writing. Be specific what action(s) you'd like to see and within what time frame, with the understanding that if the matter is not dealt with promptly, that you will be escalating your complaint to the superintendent.

Enroll him in a martial arts class.

Walk your child to school each day. Come back after school and pick him up. Also keep reporting the problem until something is done about it. If you have to get upset in order to get something done about this, then report to the principles office. Demand a face to face confrontation with the bully and the principle both present. If that does not work, then confront the bullies parents. Finally, if that does not work, then get the police involved. In other words, do whatever you have to in order to make your child feel safe again. No one should have to live in fear to go to school. The only thing you NEVER want to do is ignore the situation. Believe me, it will not get better on its own. Good luck to you and your brave child.

When I was young, I lived in a tough neighbourhood. Now that I'm all grown up I'm 6'5" and built like a refrigerator, so even when I was a kid, I was bigger than nearly everyone else. My parents raised me to be a pacifist and told me I was forbidden to raise my hand to anyone because I could seriously hurt them. I started getting picked on, and this eventually lead to beatings. In time, I was being beaten every day on the way to and from school, often by groups of children. It got so bad that I required a police escort to and from school. My father asked me to name the children involved, and he invited them to our house for cookies and hot chocolate, with me in my room. He asked them why they beat me up and they told him it was because I didn't fight back and I didn't tell the teachers. That night, my father -- who had been an amateur boxer -- took me down into the basement and told me, "You're going to learn to fight." I said, "I don't want to fight." So he punched me in the face. Crying, I asked him why he hit me. "If you'd had your guard up, I wouldn't have hit you. Put your guard up." I put my guard up. And he hit me again, in the face. "If you had your guard up properly, I wouldn't have hit you. Put your guard up." And that's how I learned to fight. My father sent me out into the world with two pieces of advice concerning fighting which I have always remembered, and which have saved me from many beatings over the years: (1) If you know there's going to be a fight, don't wait and exchange insults, don't grab him and dance with him. Haul off and sucker punch him right in the face without warning. (2) You don't have to win every fight, but you always have to get at least one good one in to make them remember you. You might get it worse this time, but next time they'll think twice and go in search of easier prey. If I came home with a black eye or a fat lip, my father would ask, "Did you get a good one in?" If I said no, he'd say, "Then I have no sympathy," turn on his heel, and walk away. Teach your child to defend himself and not to be a victim. It will serve him well all the rest of his life.

Look into home schooling. We home schooled our three boys. If you have to work,he may have to do his school work at one of his grand parents, but you remain his teacher and ck his work at night. One plus is things like going shopping,(he has to keep the calculator)going to the park, anything constructive you can come up with, is school time!and come off the total "class room" hours he has to spend. We enrolled our boys in a local rugby team for sports. Start by finding a home schooling group close to home, they will help you though the paper work. Believe me your son will love it, and you'll love the time you get to spend with your boy! Home schooled kids are allowed to migrate toward their interests, Public schools can't do this. If for this reason alone, home schooling gives a better education. Big Plus! he will have a teacher who loves him!

awwwwwww, that's so sad. Have you spoken to the bully's parents?

move him out of that school - we left it until i got someone done for attempted murder - i'm emotionally and physically scarred because of it - don't let it get that far with your son.

id go to the kids parents house and kick their buts then make them tell their kid to stop or just get the hole district involed to get that kid removed from school for a while

It is unacceptable that you have brought it to the school's attention twice and your son is still being bullied. You should go and see the headteacher and tell him/her that you are no longer prepared to put up with this behaviour and that you demand that he/she take action now to stop it. You should also ask for a copy of the bullying policy, here in the UK all schools are legally required to have one, we also have a board of school governors if you have the same where you are or something equivalent to ours in the UK you should speak with the chairperson, also keep a record of what is happening to your son, and tell the school that you will seek legal advice if something is not done because they are responsible for the welfare of your son whilst he is at school, and that they are also responsible for the behaviour of the bully whilst he is also at school, hope it all works out.

Go directly to the Superintendant of schools and demand that the situation be resolved. By the way, you pay his/her salary.

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/760784 Look over here. I took advice of ABers seriously, and went to police. They came to school, there was a big talk with that guy, school stuff and parents. In our case it worked. That guy never approached her again, actually, he was running away from wherever he saw her. I hope your situation will get resolved fast and efficiently.

Be a pro active Mom and make sure that your complaints are being listened to.

You have 4 choices: 1. Move away.(sends the wrong message to your child) 2. Let your child know that he does not have to take the bullying and that if push comes to shove..shove back and you will take care of the teachers. 3. Hire some kid that is bigger than the bully to beat him up every time he comes near your child. OR:(my choice) 4. Get an "Order of Protection" from the court system and if the kid comes with-in 100 feet of your child he goes to court, his parents pay a large fine, and/or he possibly goes to juvie.

Tell your son what I told mine: aim for the nose and hit hard. When they take you to the principal's office, you call me and I'll settle it

get some mma classes goin for your kid and get him working out and in shape and when hes ready let him go to work on the boy until then tell yoour son to stay around school staff

Have a sit-down meeting with the teacher and principal. Push for the bully's parents to be notified of their child's behavior. And enroll your child in a self-defense class, like karate.

Keep a diary and take a witness. It is imperative that all communication with school official be documented! Why do you think there are always two or three of them there and one of themis taking notes? Try to get a copy of your states education code and then research the US code. I'm sure that in your state code as most of them mirror the US code, you'll find something about the school district being responsible for the childs safety while at school or providing an appropriate atmosphere. In other words the school district doesn't have an option. The district MUST act. I don't remember where it is but the US code states it specifically Call or visit in person with the superintendent with names and dates of your complaints, who you've spoken with and when. Tell the superintendant that you will need to be apprised of the actions that the district is taking. (You don't need to know what was said, only that the district did speak with the child and the childs parents.) Explain to him/her that unless something is done now, after all this is your third request, you will be forced to bring in local law enforcement to discuss assault. Then contact your states education agency in writing about the situation. After each meeting with school officials write out the results of you meeting and send them a copy as confirmation. Don't worry about intimidating them or creating a negative atmosphere. When they know that you know what you 'can' do and what they 'must' do all contact will be very pleasant and they will be very cooperative. This is going to take some nerve because you can not bluff, No sabre rattling, you've got to be prepaired to draw it and use it. (It sounds drastic but you get the point) In our incident I finally said to the principal, Mr. ------ I'm sorry to be so blunt but you don't have any options here. "The Texas Education Code says plainly (I showed him in my copy of the code) that if the parent askes the school district complies. There is no negotiation here." I couldn't believe that I was actually saying this but the bullying stopped. My son was moved to another class. When the new teacher made comment about it to the class - I took the day off arrived at the administration office and demanded an explanation of the bullying teacher. But that's another story.

Has this bully ever actually hit or assulted your child ? If so; an assult charge is in order ... If it is just intimidation ; then you need to get an "order of protection" ... and include NO 3rd party contact. I'd talk to an attorney. A letter by a lawyer to the Supertindent of your local Schools can do wonders and cause things to be changed drastically for the better ...
