Inspired by another question, how would you feel if your child got another child into trouble on purpose?

Question

I remember being around eight and I was extremely unpopular and overweight. The "popular" girls made up this amazing story about how I tackled one of them and hit her. The girl went as far as to scrape her own knee. The five girls went to the principal saying I did this and I was suspended for two days.

Now as an adult I STILL remember that horrible event.

How would you feel if your child did this? Isn't so sick that children can plan things like this?

Answer 1

This is happening to my 8 year old boy. There are two bullies who pick on everyone, one day they actually threw his glasses and stomped on them. The parents had to pay for new ones. I bought the expensive ones with all the perks just so they had to pay more to teach a lesson.  The kids still pick on him. They try to get him into trouble. I told him that if he doesnt react the way they are saying (hitting) then the teacher will know they are lying because she will know that he doesn't do those things, and they will get into trouble instead. It has worked so far. If my son were to do something to deliberately get them into trouble I would say more power to him.  They need to get into trouble.

Answer 2

I would whip my son's behind. I don't spank but that would deserve a good one right there. Kids are cruel. I used to get picked on in school cuz I had a feeding tube in my stomach, acne, cleft lip, dirty poor clothes... so, I called a pizza to each kid's house that messed with me under their name. I sat on my bike outside this one girl's house and heard her daddy whip her ***!!! I admit I was wrong. But I'm not sorry. :)

Answer 3

This happened to my child.  The other child was constantly telling her father some lie about my kid....and then holding his hand while he demanded I do something about my kid.

Took me six months to realize what was happening.

When I stopped reacting, the tattling stopped.

I feel bad for this other child.  She was a very unhappy kid.

Answer 4

isn't this a daily occurence????

Answer 5

If one of my kids did something deliberatly to hurt another child and I found out then they would be punished and probably unable to sit down for a few days then I would make them give a public apology and admit they lied.  No one whether an adult or child should hurt another person just because they can and my kids have been taught this their entire lives.
