Of course this is not true - yet. But back to the boy on the bus - there will always be bullies and they will always look for the weakest to pick on, we should have never let our sons watch Sesame Street and Barney - it has all been down hill from there. These boys just need to spend some time watching some good old fashion John Wayne, Roy Rodger and Lone Ranger movies.

Sorry, the "it's for your own good" left is so wacko that it made your story borderline plausible. :o)

Personally if I ever do have any kids I'd send them to a martial arts school where self-defense is emphasized at an early age. No TV. If you're 12 years old and 80 pounds no amount of John Wayne bravado is gonna save you from the 180 pound 9th grader.

Agree, though, the sanitized PC "everyone's your friend" shows are utter crap. Look at what happened to that girl who was murdered in Florida, she trusted a guy who came up to her, she got murdered for it.
