My son was suspended on the last day of school this year. After being bullied by some jerk, and watching his friend being bullied by the same jerk, his patience had run out. He warned the bully not to touch his friend, the bully slapped his friend in the head, and Justin launched out of his desk, grabbed this kid by the throat, slammed him against the wall and started wailing on him.
We took him out to dinner at his favorite restaurant and the whole family celebrated a job well done.
This year, everyone leaves him and his friend alone.
Even though Justin has NCCAH and premature bone maturation (meaning he will never be taller than his height now, 5’4” at 14 years old) my little man can pack a big punch.
Sometimes, what bullies need most is a good ol’ fashioned ass kicking to settle them down.
I had an older boy on my block that picked on me all the time. He would punch me in the nose just to make it bleed. I hid a billy club on the side of my house waiting for the next incident to happen. And of course it did happen. As he was riding off on his bike I grabbed the billy club and hit him square in the elbow. He crashed the bike and fell causing even more damage to his body. His mother came down to my house and had a talk with my mother. My mother told her to keep her brat away from me or she would do it the next time herself. To say the least he never messed with me again.
I read through a LOT of the comments at the link and there’s not ONE single comment that condemns this mom or her son.
ALL of them are supportive of her and very condemning of schools and society in general
I'm sorry, but how is the school not considered an accessory in this? If this is child endangerment, and the school does nothing, that makes them an accessory. I mean those CPS assholes will take a child away from their family for far less. I would charge the principle as an accessory and sue the crap out of the school district for child endangerment, unless they allow bully targeting into the school.
My son, now 16, went to a public middle school in metro atlanta. He was in the gifted program and the only time he mixed with non gifted was PE and band. It sounded like real life Malcolm in the Middle to me.
Anyway, I have always told him if he gets in a situation, I will always back him up. But he better not start it. I’ve also always said the best way to back off a bully is Don’t threaten... just strike hard and fast, preferably breaking a nose. Nothing teaches a lesson like a broken nose.
So I had been doing kick boxing with him for a while, and in 6th grade some general population kid decided to start pushing my son around. He put up with it for the period. Then they end up on the bus together and the kid sits next to him and slaps him on the back of the neck.
My boy did a quick 1-2-3 combo and broke his nose. The next day the kid tried to sucker punch him in the hall. My son covered up like a boxer, then got him in the nose again. He got a rep with the non gifted kids and no one ever messed with him again.
I never had a problem personally, but my junior year a buddy got sucker punched while playing basketball between final exams first semester. My friend wasn’t a fighting type. My school was half day student and half dorms. The puncher was a new kid that fancied himself a bad ass and had been in a lot of fights.
So first day back to classes I see him in the hall and snapped. All I remember is that he appeared taller and I was beating his face in. Turns out he was my height but I had him pinned to the wall by his throat with his feet off the ground.
It was right in front of the principals office window. A teacher breaks us up and sends us to the office. I go in first and the principal asks my story. I told the truth. When I finish he says “now doug I have a problem here. I need someone to say Patrick threw the first punch because I want him gone. Tell your story again please.” I altered my story
That afternoon after school Patrick came up to me with 5 dormie football players behind him and crowed about beating me up. I dropped my books and said “let’s go”. He walked off. In PE the next day the biggest backup came up and said “I hate that kid. We all do. We won’t help him. But he is my roommate so I had to be there.”
Patrick was back in Nome Alaska within a week.
Good for you. I am a calm soul but threaten me and mine and I do get riled. Riled ain’t pretty but it gets the job done.
What did the boy’s father have to say?
Grew up in a lower middle class predominantly non white neighborhood and had to fight just to keep my bike and wallet almost daily for a few years...at a point after about 3 yers when i was 16 it all just stopped....i finally asked one of the others at school why they stopped messing with me and his reply was along the lines of “man, everyone’s tired of fighting you someone always gets hurt” it was usually 3 or 4 trying to take me down.... my dad boxed as a kid and in the navy, taught me pretty well and pounded it into my head to never, ever let them get you on the ground.
My nose has broken at least 8 times, ive had more stitches than i can remember and my mom would freak when I’d come hkme beat to hell and bloody but i still always had my stuff never let anyone take it.
Pressure from the inevitable LEFTIST SCUM is nothing but online bullying done anonymously.
Sounds like the MOM won’t give a flying f##k.
When I was in grade school back in the 50s we had a bully who picked on several of us. One afternoon on the way home he started in on me, grabbed me and ripped my shirt. I was on him like the kid in Christmas Story. Bloodied him up a bit but he never bothered me again. We went to a catholic school and if he had done that on school grounds the nuns would have extracted more than a few bruises and bloody nose from him. Mother superior had a large, flexible switch.
My classmates and I were tormented by a bully. His father was an internationally known celebrity which helped him to get away with things the rest of us couldn’t.
It was SOP for him to discretely punch an innocent party in passing. We were all tired of it and one day, when I was in 7th grade, he punched me on the school bus. I fought back. The bus driver was ticked!
I plead self-defense, but was still found partially guilty. I received one (VERY HARD) swat from the principal’s aerodynamically-designed paddle. He received more swats, but he had more padding on his rear than I did.
This was my one and only experience with school issued corporal punishment.
Two awful boys were bullying my grand daughter. One was physically violent to her the first year. The next year, another boy was physically violent to girls who were around her and she was scared she was next. He stalked her, taunted her and stared at her in class. When we complained, the school did NOTHING.
Oh wait, yes, they did do something. The 2nd boy was the son of one of the teachers, so the boy’s father came back and did a formal complaint of bullying - against my grand daughter. We scoffed at it as retaliatory, but we also learned from the inside about what had to be done. There are laws against bullying, but the school was obviously protecting one of its own in this instance so they were looking the other way.
She’s been taking self-defense at the local dojo, thanks to the first bully & now has an orange belt. We support and encourage her and the dojo people do too. She learns mercy, discipline and courage along with never be the attacker but always be the defender.
We put the school, the administration and the bully on public notice through social media that the school was useless and was aiding and abetting bullying. We warned the community that if the boy strikes her, she has our 100% support and permission to take him down, and it probably would hurt him. We also told them and her, that we knew that they would suspend her for defending herself but we will go out, celebrate with ice cream and reward her courage. It confuses her to be told that defending herself from physical harm is wrong, but she understands that it may be necessary and is ready.
Like your kids, she was warned against provoking anyone and certainly against throwing the first punch but by golly, she has our permission to do what she’s being trained to do if it came to it.
Although it’s always best to try to solve the conflict peacefully, some people just do not want resolution. We *MUST* fight back. This world we live in isn’t always “nice” and people don’t always “play” fair.
It doesn’t end when you’re a grown up either. It happens on the job, it happens in our lives and it happens in politics. Sad.
“ALL of them are supportive of her and very condemning of schools and society in general.”
The silent majority are old school.
Have we had enough psychological bullying by ‘progressives’ yet? Are we ready to end this?
Sometimes you need social media. We used it to help my grand daughter fight the school that looked the other way when a teacher’s son was beating up on little girls and other boys.
We put the entire community on alert about this school district’s inaction when it comes to protecting kids from this animal.
Social media is certainly a two-edged sword and it doesn’t care who touches the blade. We must be wise and judicious when using it.
The left is going to be the very surprised bully some day when our restraint ends and we come back with fists flying.
It needs to happen sooner than later.
Good for her. I always told my kids you have to bully a bully. I used the opening scene in Ms. Congeniality to coach my daughter how to handle the little piggy that was making her life miserable and it worked. My kids never would be in trouble for fighting a bully.
Moms seem to use SM more often than Dads. She is married, hopefully, to Drew’s father.
I just saw that I guess Dad also tried to handle the bullying situation.
Here is the Mom’s post about her husband being angry.

“Due to more comments claiming that we aren’t telling the whole story and the kid isn’t a bully, I have added this to my posts. I’m only posting here because I want to make sure that the concerned parties see it and hopefully get the message.
EDITING TO ADD: I apologize I didn’t repeat my husbands words in these messages verbatim. I am not trying to sugar coat anything. He sent a private message/reply to each boy that had contacted Drew and threatened to kick Drew’s ass. In some Mike said he would contact their parents, in some he said he would show up to their house. Listen, we have nothing to hide. Our son was terrified to come to school because of physical threats from multiple boys and you are trying to nitpick at details that don’t matter or change the situation. Yes, my husband was angry. Yes, he had a very stern tone. Yes, he threatened to tell parents and threaten to show up to houses. Yes, he was fed up with this bullshit from cowardly little boys and took the steps necessary to try and put a stop to these repulsive behaviors.”
Nah. They are loathe to take action because they are cowards. We see this crap all time regardless of the race of the kids involved.
I was being followed and provoked by a bully in Jr high. I turned around and grabbed a fist full of skin and turned it 180 degrees. That was the end of it. He cried.
I learned something in that moment.
