How to Handle a BULLY?

Question

How should a parent deal with small kids with bullies? My 5yr old son has a bully that is 11yrs old that rides the bus with him lives in the same apt. complex as us. They have like 50 million family member that live here too? Does anyone know a 13yr old bully in Dallas, Tx? j/p real question though. How should I handle this and what do I tell my son?

Answer 1

If it's happening on the bus, be at the bus stop for pick up and drop off to let the thirteen year old know you mean business. First thing to do is to tell the bus driver, the school would be the second choice, as all they will do is tell the bus driver, which you can do all by yourself. Next step if that doesn't fix the problem, go talk to the parents of this thirteen year old, but when you go talk to them, do not take your 5 yr old, and have specific instances and exact quotes if you can get them. Past that the only recourse is to take him off the bus route.

Honestly though, a quick chat with the bus driver is your best bet.

Answer 2

Take your kid to karatee class and teach him to defend himself. Im joking I would if it was my kid go to the parents again and tell them straight up what is happening and if it does happen again you are going to the cops. I think you can get a restaining order on the kid and the kid will have to find a different way to school. Let the parents know you are serious if you don't want to face them send them a certified letter. You might want to also try some of these websites. I hope you and your son luck.

I agree with Angie

Answer 4

When my son was in the 4th grade, his teacher called me after school and said my son was scared to walk home cuz another kid threatened to beat him up. I asked the teacher to put the other kid on the phone. I said, " If you mess with my kid, you mess with me. I don't think you want to do that!"  I then asked him to put my son on the line. I told him he could walk home with no problems. I then asked him to put the teacher on the line, and told her to send my boy home. Guess what? No probs!!!!
