As a mom you have to do EVERYTHING to protect your child, but remember something, you are not going to be with him 24/7 to protect him against the bullies. First you have to go to the Principal's office and make him do something to protect your child. Second, go to the Sheriff's office. Third, send your son to take some karate or tae-kwon-do classes. My son was bullied for 2 years, and he is so sweet and quiet that when I knew about it (because my oldest son told me) I got so mad..!!! I did what I am telling you to do and now my son has such self confidence, that when the same boy tried to pick on him again, my son punched him right on the face and that was it! The best thing to do is to sign up for self defense classes for them, believe me!

Immediately go to the school and talk to the principal and have them to call in the kid's parents. Perhaps there is a problem at home where this kid sees violence and is doing what he or she sees. If that is the case, Social Service should be called to see what the problem is. If the kid is just a bully, maybe he is reaching out the wrong way to befriend someone.
The parents of the child who was beat up should show them the best way to defend themselves. Enroll them in karate. Practice standing up for themselves. Do what you have to do to make sure your child is confident in the fact that he or she can take care of themselves. Walk away from a fight if you have to. Defend yourself if you can't.

When my son was younger he kept getting beat up. One day he had bloody hands and that was enough. I talked to the lady in charge, I talked to the principal. Nothing changed. I finally took the brats father aside and told him, If my son gets hurt one more time by your son, I'm gonna kick your ***. Maybe that wasn't the right way but nobody was helping him, he was very young and being beaten until he was bleeding had been too much. That kid never touched another kid at school.

Depends on the circumstances. I have heard many times of kids getting assaulted by bullies, but I have also heard of kids getting attacked after first instigating it. I would find out all the facts, then speak with the school about punishment, even if my child instigated the incident. If my child were innocent, then I would still expect the school to punish the bully. The parents should punish their child as well. Police may possibly get involved as well.

it sounds like a lot of people can sympathize with you. Hopefully you've addressed this with the school already, so that the other child has been dealt with.
But I bet you were also asking about what to do with your child after the fact. It's embarrassing for them, and hard to deal with. I have always discouraged my daughter from fighting, but she knows that if anybody attacks her, she has the right to fight back with all her strength, and won't get into trouble.
I would suggest giving your kid your take on the situation, and how you think they handled it. I also recommend a martial arts or self-defense class, to help raise their self-esteem and also teach them how to protect themselves. Martial arts has helped my daughter in so many ways, her confidence is so high now that she rarely ever gets picked on. The bullies know they can't push her around.
Good luck to you, and I'm so sorry this happened to your little one.

First find out if your shild knows why it happened. If he did something to provoke the attack, then your son knows not to do it again. However, whether it was provoked or not, you still need to have the issue addressed by going to the principal. He/she would bring both boys into the office and discuss this with them. And if matters persist they should be seperated from the same class, possibly one or the other should change schools.

This is bullying and assault is a crime. Report it to the principal, and if you don't get the response you want (the other child should be suspended from school at the very least) then file a police report. Your child needs to feel safe!!
