school bullies??what to do??

Question

My 11yr old son was beat up by 3 teenagers, 16,17,17, because he beat them at basketball.
We just moved to the town. We called police and they never did anything, took me forever to find out who the boys were, I called their mother and she said she'd talk to them, and that she couldn't believe it(2 of the boys were brothers).
She has never called back. 2 of the boys are big track stars in the comm?
Should I let this go, it's been almost a year, but, I'm pissed, they should have to have something done.

Answer 1

have you ever heard of "Louisville Slugger"? get your son one and see how good the track stars do with broken knees. that is what I did and by god it worked, nobody messed with me again while I was in school.

Answer 2

Be proactive. Revenge will not help you. The best thing for you to do for your son is to enable him if (God forbid) he needs to defend himself against such kids again.

As a mom who has done this for her own son, I am STRONGLY encouraging your to spend a little money and put your son into some kind of martial arts. The focus (in a good place) won't be fighting but how to avoid fights and also to build up self confidence so that other kids just won't want to mess with him.

It REALLY REALLY works. I promise. And...if he should need to protect himself again, he'll be able to. The offending parties will learn quickly to not make the same mistake twice.

Did you press assault charges on those kids? You should have.

It's a terrible world when the good guys have to learn to fight so that the bad guys won't want to fight. But, as parents we must protect our children. Martial arts will change your child's life in so many positive ways though...please consider it.

Answer 3

Hello! I, as a person who had been wearing uniforms for a very long time, believe all schools (all public schools) should wear uniforms. I think school is about learning, insted of how to look. I feel it both distracts, and takes valuable learning time away from kids. When a teacher has to tell a student to "go to the office and change" it takes away time from learning. Also, it makes the school look better. When students from a school are seen dressing inappopropriatly, it makes the school look bad. Also, personally, I love my uniform!!

Answer 4

Yes, let it go. Show your child a good example of maturity by not keeping a grudge. I can understand your rage at your child being hurt, this is only natural. However, hate only begets more hate. Is that the lesson you want your son to learn? In this case it would be unsafe to try to exact revenge. There are times when it is appropriate to stand up for yourself, but sometimes it's better to live to fight another day.

Answer 5

Get your son into Taekwondo. It's an effective but non-violent martial art. They (the boys) need their track skills then!

I had a similar problem when I was younger. I got jumped by these two boys, and I ran home crying. My mother, not being one to tolerate weakness in her boys, told me I was not coming back into the house until I kicked their asses. The only help I got from her was her throwing a bromstick out the window. I pucked up that stick, went back to the playground, and beat the hell out of those boys. My mother lost a friendship over it, but did she care? No.

Answer 6

Report to school authorities. Threaten them with lawsuits. Contact the prosecuting attorney - make sure that a police report was filed. Be persistent, or move.

Answer 7

get revenge big time.

you know this blowpipe that has sleeping darts on them?

when you see these bullies around the community, simply blow the pipe and whalla you have snoring bullies in no time. just think of creative ways on how to deal with them while they're sleeping.

Answer 8

I hate to say it, but it's part of 'socializing' and should be a warning that your son needs to be better prepared for the unfairness of the world. Either learn to deal with it, or learn some self defense.

Answer 9

there's nothing you can do except to tell your son to stay away from bullies
if he can't differentiate who's bully and who's not...then it's best to not hang out with people older than he is
if you really want revenge, you can track them down and play pranks on them, or beat them up yourselves
it doesn't sound like your neighborhood is safe....
