I was walking across south 27th street in Milwaukee at the tim. A VERY busy divided highway. I easily couold have fallen into traffic. NOT fun at all.

Point of CC letter to parents is in case they are unaware..

If I were pushed and physical assaulted isnt that a crime?

Whats the difference if it was an 8 year old or an adult

5 years ago I would say go to the parents house personally and body slam them on the sidewalk, but I have learned that does nothing..

Even though the results your looking for MIGHT take a while in the long run it is the PROPER thing to do

In the realm of law, a great deal.

An 8-year old is far less culpable than an adult.

Yup but who is responsible for the 8 year old 🙂

I never mentioned what my dad told me when he found out the bully issues I had.

He told me how when he was a kid he would get bullied and finally he stood up for himself and punched the kid. And it was all over. He then told me to light the kid up.

I didn't think he was telling the truth, but by God, he did.. LOL



That's just what I heard. I might have overstated it and he just got suspended for a few days. But I do know he did NOT come back to school after that incident. LOL Who would?

No human deserves that kind of torture.

thanks again for all your stories and insight. when i said 'kick the crap outta the kid' i was kidding.

i've drafted a letter to the prin/super & school board filing a formal written complaint. they're in the mail. i stated each individual incident, what i was told by the teacher/principal, & what the outcome was. i quoted the definition of bully, intimidation, & terror. threw in some bullying statistics, said i knew that they would never want this to happen in their district & that it was their responsibility to ensure the safety of every child. i basically made it clear to them that i was not going away, this would not be dropped, & that they needed to do everything within their power to stop it. we'll see what happens.

as far as contacting the other family, it's a nightmare. the boys mother got pregnant when she was 13, had him at 14, dad is kind of in the picture but he has 'anger problems'. these are not people one can reason with. the boy spends alot of time with his grandparents & i've talked to his grandpa in the past so maybe i need to have a chat with him again.

the calling police thing - is NOT what i want to do at all - trust me!! but i'm not going to sit back & allow this to escalate either. if the school won't do anything, then i'm left with little choice. all the research i've done suggests calling the police no matter what the age of the child is. thankfully we're close to peoria which has a juvenile division so i'm sure they'd send a juvy officer out. again - the very idea of that just makes me physically ill & i pray it doesn't come to that.

i just don't understand how this kid assaulted 4 children 2 days ago & is still going to school?!? does that not warrant a suspension? and if it doesn't, what does?? frustrating as hell!!

Shouldnt matter on the situation of the mother/father, they are responsible for the actions of their kid

Your aware of the assaults which means the school should be as well, if not then sending letter with all the details ( which was a fantastic move on your part) should serve a wake up call for them

If the board wont/cant do anything then calling cops is what has to be done..

thanks jim. one thing you don't wanna do is ignore me or blow me off - especially when it involves my kids. bad f'in move on his part.

god, i used to say the f word in senior year, and the staff would be on me, wanting to send me to the principles... I guess school security has lightened up quite a bit!
