When or if you see your son/daughter getting pushed around at school what do you do?

Question

I drop my 5 year old nephew to school every morning and pick him up aswell everday. I saw this boy in his grade who was alot taller than him push him. My little nephew fell back and did a backward roll due to the force of the push. I felt like killing the boy who pushed him! who wouldnt? Anyway..my little nephew is strong and never cries however the look on his face was a mix of fear and anger. I was only watching from a few metres away and thought it was childs play until i called out his name to see if he was ok. he said "what?" semi-angrily. The father of the boy who pushed my nephew merely talked to his son. What can I do? I want to scream and push that little boy too! hes so mean!

Answer 1

ok if your nephew was older i would tell him to fight back thats what ive always been told but since hes only five i would talk to the rinciple and if it keeps happening video tape and so on......lol dont throw the first throw the last thats the exact thing i was talking about and i didnt get in trouble as much as the person who threw the first punch because i was defending myself and after a while(well about 1 more time because no1 else messed with me)i didnt get in trouble at all

Answer 2

So, basically, you assumed that your child was innocent. I'd talk to him and ask him what happened, and then talk to the other kid. Whoever said to sue him...

Wanting to kill someone for pushing your son? Sounds like you need anger management. What would you do if your son pushed someone? Beat him?

The reason why he sounded "semi-angry" was because you were babying him.

Answer 3

I would tell the school about this aggressive behavior and to please keep an eye out for it.

Answer 4

what a bullshit answer. kids being kids and your answer is to SUE??!! **** you. you're whats wrong with this country.

I remember the same thing happened to me when I like a 4 year old. well i dont so much remember as my mom has told me a few times.... some kid who was a lot bigger than me was bullying me...one day i had enough and kicked him while he was down. he never ****** with me again, and i learned what pride was.

dont mother him too much, or he'll expect you to fight all his battles for him when he's growing up. if you intervene by telling, or fighting the 5 year old, your asking for a social reject for a kid.

Answer 5

Talk to the principal about it, let him/her know you witnessed it. Let them know you already talked to the father, but wanted to make them aware. if it happens again called the school and insist on some type of punishment. Also you may want to look into Martial arts for your son if can help build confidence.

Answer 6

You tell your nephew that no one is allowed to push or hurt  him at school! Encourage him to say, no, don't do that!  and to tell the teacher as he is only 5 - they will deal with the culprit.

Maybe the father of the naughty boy said some strong words to his son - so hopefully the warning will get him to back off!!

Answer 7

- Video the tape the incident (if you are woman. don't try it if you're a man, you'll get arrested).

- If it keeps happening, sue the parents of the boy that pushes your kid

- Lawsuit should make the other father do more than talk to his  boy

Answer 8

Listen, the parental thing to do is tell the principal/counselor and tell him not to continue it. But lets be honest... it's not a perfect world and he'd be called a snitch and he will be picked on so much more. Really the best thing to do is not tell him you called his school counselor. You may also want to say what my dad said to me when I was in grade school,"Don't through the first punch... but through the last" which could earn him respect but at the same time it would get him in trouble but no one would mess with him.

Answer 9

What you should do is talk to your nephew (lets call him Jack) and tell him not to fight back because otherwise he would be as bad as the bully. Also tell Jack to pick up his things and walk away. Next you should talk to the bullies father/mother and ask them to have more restraint over their child. Next talk to Jack's teacher and tell him/her that Jack is being bullied and pushed around and you wish for that to be stopped. If no action is done then report to the principle about the incident. Hope my information helps!
