My young once hit a bully in the head with a clarinet case, on the school bus. Got in a lot of trouble, but it was worth it. Kid’s parents apparently thought is was justified, fortunately.
This PC crap is killing good kids and letting others get away with things.
I have told my kids that if they encounter a bully, they’re allowed to use force to defend themselves or someone else being bullied. I will have their back.
I told them also that if they ever start a fight, I’ll show them how it’s ended.
They’ve been good so far, and my seven year old son punched one kid in the face after he was terrorizing the kindergarten kids. I went to bat for him, and said he’s only following his dad’s orders.
It’s a private Christian school, so they know where I stand.
On another note, I’m sorry for the loss of your son. As a vet I fully understand the dangers and stresses. I can’t imagine what I put my parents through. May God bless you and give you peace.
