One of my kids got tired of being attacked on the bus. He asked the bus driver to remove (they were still at school) the thug. The bus driver refused and drove off. At the stop before my kid’s stop, my son had to call 911. This forced the bus driver to stop. The thug got off and ran. The next stop was my kid’s. They thug was there and FLASHED A KNIFE.
That was the LAST day my kid went to school there.
FYI for parents. The policy in my children’s district has been in affect for at least 6-7 years. Even if you don’t throw a punch AND haven’t done a thing, you will be suspended along WITH the perp. I know, someone attacked my kid at school. He didn’t throw a punch, didn’t know a punch was coming. The resource officer told me of the districts policy. With a policy like that, no wonder schools are turning out (figuratively and literally), thugs who know they can get away with it.
Stupid policy. Kid’s going to think “I might as well pop this guy since we’re both going to get in trouble anyway.”
In that case I would have instructed my child to proceed with beating the shit out of the bully, and all with my full support.
