This starts in Kindergarten now- my grandson had trouble with a bully and the school could not seem to solve the problem. The bully was a second grader and one day he sprayed cologne on the lunches of grandson’s friends. Grandson told him that was not nice and not to do it again. The next day bully sprayed grandson’s food, grandson told the adult cafeteria monitor and she said she couldn’t do anything to the bully since she didn’t see it happen. My daughter was angry and called the principal who told her basically if the monitor didn’t see it then it didn’t happen- daughter was angry about son being bullied and having to buy grandson extra trays of food (he’s not on a lunch program) anyway daughter showed her anger over the situation to the principal in the conversation and was told she needed to take an anger management course.
Daughter decides her son is on his own with this bully so she tells him if the boy sprays his food again to stand up for himself but to be sure the monitor is not watching. Bully again sprayed grandson’s food and grandson grabbed bully’s head and forced his face down into the tray of ruined food. Bully ran crying to monitor- grandson in trouble- principal called my daughter; said grandson was guilty of bullying behavior- (a Kindergartner bully a second grader?) Daughter asked principal if monitor saw this happen? NO so daughter told principal- well two days ago you told me if the monitor didn’t see it as far as you were concerned nothing happened so I guess it didn’t happen. Daughter hung up on principal and thankfully school was out a few days later.
It seems now it is OK to harass others but if they stand up for themselves- that is not OK. I just don’t get it!!
“I just dont get it!!”
Me, neither. As I said, this has been bothering me for days, that punk kids know how to play the system this way. A misdemeanor can carry up to a year in jail. Who wants to gamble on getting a reasonable judge in southern CA ?
What the heck is a second grader doing with cologne?
