What can I do, my daughter is being bullied by this aweful boy?

Question

I tried talking to the mother and she defends her son, even though her other son, interrupted and told his Mom his brother has been throwing rocks at my daughter. She called that son a liar and my daughter who was sporting red marks. She is the neighborhood drunk. The boy and my daughter are 9 yrs old. This boy is a terror, my daughter can not play outside because of him. He tried lighting a neighbors house on fire. One day he was outside and I smelled fire behind my house, other kids said he was lighting fires and stomping them out. His Mother and Grandparents defend him. One time a car pulled into my driveway asking where that kid was that was throwing rocks at the cars. There he was running home.

Answer 1

Since talking the drunkard mother didnt help, send him to Jacksonville, Florida, and I will tighten that azz strait up!!! I will make him run the next time HE SEES A ROCK...

Answer 2

I hate to say this because he is nine and his problems appear to be an at home problem. Having a mom who is unavailable(Drunk) and doesnt pay the right attention to her son including discipline is a no win situation for you. The only thing you can do is call the police. I know this sounds harsh especially since hes only nine but maybe they can talk to the boy and the mother. If they think that it is unsafe situation for the boy they will keep tabs so keep calling them and make reports, make it a bother for the police to be at her door all the time. In the mean time watch your daughter if hes outside. You may find by calling the police that the behavior stops, hopefully.

Answer 3

I have known this to happen many times b 4 and the part that makes me mad is when the paretns of the bully act worst then the kids.

U have done the right thing so now u may need to take out a report on him and his drunk mama( it's easy to see why he's the way he is) and it's sad

U may have to take them to court and tell the courts that u have tried over and over talking to this woman about her son, but she's not taking it as serious as she should.

She really needs help because she's gonna have problems with this kid if she doesn't stop drinking, it's gonna get to the point where he may start hitting her.

If she don't take control of herself and kids she's gonna be either in jail or 6 feet under( just ike he will)

So go to the courts and police on this because ur headed for more trouble with this kid and his mom

Answer 4

There should be a way for you to report this to his school. His mother & grandparents are obviously in denial, so get a witness or two & meet with a counselor or his teacher & make them aware. This child may suffer from something serious that could be taken care of now before he is older & learns of other things. If his mother is the neighborhood drunk then it just might be a call for attention. Either way, he DOES need attention. This may prevent your daughter from emotional scares ... and may prevent future murders as well.

Answer 5

This is a tough situation...if the parents do not want to take responsibility, then that says a lot. I say you try to get the other neighbors involved and all of you should take a stance. Your daughter should not be treated this way. Maybe someone should set him on fire and stomp it out... Good luck

Answer 6

Allow your daughter to play outside and when she has marks from rocks being thrown at her and the such, take pictures.
Also, tell your daughter to say to him, "What? You want to pick on me because I am a girl but you won't pick on someone your size?"
Then, gather your neighbors together to file a complaint against the kid and his family (for not doing anything to stop the little terror). Get the cops involved, it may not seem serious, but if no one can get through to the kid and his parents aren't helping, then they need to get this family some serious help.

Answer 7

We have the same problem with our neighbor. My son is 5 and the little boy next door is 10. He's home schooled and has broken into my vehicle, managed to get into our backyard, and attempted to break into our house, yet he still finds time to harrass my son. Like you, we have spoken to his parents, and they didn't seem to care. My husband managed to confront the kid, without his parents, and threatened him with the police. So far, the neighbor has been quiet, and my son has been able to play outside without getting into any fights with this kid. I'd say, if the parents don't care, confront the kid when "mommy and daddy" aren't around. Intimidate him!

Answer 8

You've done your neighborly duty and tried to talk to her on adult level. Since she's a witch, it's time for the authorities to step in. Each time he's acting out of control, call the cops and ask to file a report. Tell your neighbors to do the same. Eventually the mom will either tell him to stop, or Children's Services will come around.

And if you have any animals, please make sure that you keep them in as well. He WILL retaliate against you, and it's usually against the things that can't fight back.

Answer 9

wow. this kid definetly sounds like a psychopath. you should ither talk to the boy alone or call the police next time this kid exibits this behavior but wen you call make sure that you know his mother is drunk so that the cops know that the whole family is screwed up.

Answer 10

Call the police and file a complaint. That ought to wake up that drunk *****. It is possible that the mother would be liable for any damages that the boy caused.
