My son, now 32, was bullied by an older boy in first grade.
His dad told him to punch the kid in the nose if he tried to bully him again.
Got called to school by the nun pricipal after my son socked the kid.
The kid had also been punching little girls in the stomach for their lunch money as well as abusing other little boys.
Our policy as told to the nun principal --> son will defend himself against bullies
found out our statement was a part of my son's * permanent record * when we moved to Oklahoma...
Explained the situation to son's new principal. Principal removed the * permanent record * text :o)
Hope things turn out ok for the little guy in the above article...
