BULLIED !!!!, ...need help, counsel, shoulder to cry on. Options

my 12 year-old is being bullied again. he hadn't talked abut it in a while and everything seemed OK. his disposition is always cheerful and although he has moderate to severe learning and social disabilities, still loves to go to school. at least, he has never once said "i don't like it there" or "school sucks!". yesterday he was ambushed and shot at with a BB gun off school property. we have alerted the school and are waiting to talk to the RCMP-school liaison officer today. is there anyone out there who can guide me through this before i do something stupid? i have a very short fuse and am quite a poweful man. combine the two and you have an assault waiting to happen. not that i would ever harm a child, but if i ever confront one of these bullies' parents and they piss me off, i could very easily take it out on them-- verbally (a given) or physically.

I'd call that assault. Being shot at and bullied are different. Take it from someone who was bullied only a couple years ago when i around that age. Being bullied sucks. People made fun of me for my weight all the time. The best thing you can tell him is to stick it out.. Because as kids grow up it all goes away. However now that i've lost so much weight its not an issue. But yeah.. that sounds more like assault than anything else. Try to confront the kids parents first, tell them what happened and that you are thinking about taking legal action. I'm sure that kid will not mess with your son again.
