My son got bashed today :(

Kids can be so mean to other kids... and i think what you are planning to do is right... there should also be a meeting between you and the parents of those who bashed your son... this has to stop... if they did it to your son then they will do it again to other defenseless children... The school should also give a certain form of punishment... it is high time that bullying be stopped in all schools...

That is horrible, how can these kids be so mean. How can the school let this happen. Don't the school have adults walking around the campus making sure this kind of things don't happen? Great job in taking the pictures and file an offical complaint. I believe to file an official complaint against the school rules a written notice from you to the school first. The school needs to be warned, the parents needs to be warned, and last the kids needs to be punished for their actions. Make it known so other parents are aware of this school having such crime. I feel so bad and I can imagine how horrible you must feel not to mention the pain of seeing the most important person in your life being beat up and hurt and yet you were not there for him. Keep the good spirit and hang in there. Keep us posted with the talks with principal.

OMG how awful can that be! Being the mother of a son, I can understand his humiliation more so. Usually we attach the term modesty with girl children, but boys are so very sensitive about having to pull down their pants! And being a mother you feel so helpless when the little ones come home with their horror stories. You just feel like being there and slapped the daylights out of those bullies! Talk to the principal definitely but I think you should tell your boy to show some aggressiveness too. The best would be to ignore the taunts as firmly as he can so that gradually they come to acknowledge that he is a tough guy too. My heart is going out to him as my son is almost the same age group.

Oh my! This is the reason I have entertained the thought of homeschooling. My son is 4, he will start school soon. He is a bright young boy and he wears glasses, I am so afraid of sending him to school. I cannot even begin to imagine how you feel right now! I am so sorry this has happened! How cruel! Poor Little Guy. I agree with the first poster, I'd go to the police. No sense in just letting them get away with it, What is wrong with children these days?

How sad, poor little guy. I would feel helpless too. I cant believe how mean children have gotten these days! I would talk to the princable too. Good luck. I hope they do something to those bullies.

If the principal does not do anything about the situation, then you need to take it to the police. They will let you know what they can do or where you need to go. A few years ago, my daughter(then 8 yrs. old) was being sexually harrassed by a male classmate. The school did nothing so I filed a police report, but they could not do anything because it happened on school grounds. They did, however, call SRS and turned it over to them. SRS did an investigation into school policy and the family concerned. Come to find out that the same boy had already been warned twice before about the exact same behavior. After looking into the family, SRS found out that he was being molested by his aunt. If I wouldnt have taken the next step then the situation would have continued for that boy. You never know, it could be a cry for help....

Oh my God. I can not believe how mean kids are in this day and age. Do not feel helpless. Good job on taking photos and write down everything your son says happened. You might need details later on and this way you will forget nothing. Talking to the principle may or may not help. If he does nothing about this I would definitely take it to the next level. I do believe you can file harassment charges against the kids and maybe even the school if nothing gets done. You can take him to the local police station and they can tell you the proper course of action. Best of luck to you and your son.
