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

[axelrduvirage]

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.



peace

terroristic actions anyone?? columbine?

im surprised this isint all over abc n whatnot with an almost "school shooting at age 12" type of deal

i dont think there is that much you can do as a parent beyond being there for your son.

i would not let the other kids off, something like this should definately hinder their lives, and in my opinion their parent's as well for raising such an inconsiderate child.

like everyone said to follow up with the police, and im not certain on how issues like this are dealt with where you are, but several years ago when i was in highschool someone brought in a cap gun to threaten another student and all hell broke loose, the kid (17 or so at the time) was expelled, fines were issued and im pretty sure he even got a record. so actually following through with assaulting someone... its a joke that the school hasent already flipped their lids worse than you over the issue

however to keep your calm... everything will iron itself out, if not now, then down the road. if the kids get let off the hook this time, or just get a slap on their wrist, im sure this behavior will continue and (unfortunatley) will probably happen again only much more severe to someone else and then they will get it (at another's expense)
