There are many situations that parents dread and one of their biggest nightmares must be discovering that their child is, or has been, the victim of bullying. Bullies are not just other children who are openly obnoxious. Sometimes they can come into your child's life masquerading as a friend, or som

The parent can't make them believe what she/he says. Family and friends will make their own minds up about it. Bad mouthing doesn't matter unless you let it. Any smart person will judge for themselves about your child. Get your son involved in other groups and activities that don't rely on these "other children" playing with him and don't let it get to you. Ignore it and she/he will soon tire of playing games and move on to someone else that she gets more of a reaction from. Don't let her see it upsets you.

What do you do when the class bully does everything so he/she never gets caught and how do you address this issue when his/her parent works at the school? Why is it these same parents just don't see their kid as being mean or a bully when everyone else clearly sees it and others have complained about it? Looking through rose colored glasses perhaps? What do you do if you see a parent being a bully to a kid or they coax their own kid to bully intentionally for out of spite? Does being an overly competative parent contribute to this behavior? What are implications of this? thank you.

MY DAUGHTER IS BEING BULLIED, BUT FROM THE TYPE OF BULLY THAT EVERY TIME MY DAUGHTER IS WITH A FRIEND, THIS BULLY THEN GRABS THAT FRIEND AND MAKES THAT PERSON HER BEST FRIEND, WHEN THE CHILD IN THE MIDDLE IS OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. THE BULLY THEN WILL SPREAD RUMORS AGAINST MY DAUGHTER WHERE THOSE GIRLS WILL BELIEVE HER AND NOT PLAY WITH MY DAUGHTER ANYMORE. THIS BULLY HAS HUMILIATED MY DAUGHTER IN FRONT OF CROWDS BY PLACING A DISGUSTING OBJECT IN HER HAND AND LAUGHING AT HER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SCHOOL AND THEY SAID UNTIL IT CAN BE SEEN BASICALLY BY ADULTS THEN THEY REALLY CAN'T HELP UNTIL THERE ARE INCIDENTS OF PROOF. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY INCIDENTS I CAN'T EVEN KEEP TRACK ANYMORE. THIS FAMILY IS KNOWN FOR DOING THIS IN TOWN, BUT NO ONE CAN EVER PROVE IT. WHAT DO I DO? IF ITS NOT PHYSICAL I CAN'T GO TO THE POLICE. WHAT DO I DO?

Wow, that is just awful and it seems it is becoming an epidemic. I don't know legally what you can do, but I would still contact the police and see if you can it on file, at the very least. Or maybe you and the other parents could have a meeting and present your concerns to the principal? or PTA?
Seems like waiting until there's an incident isn't very proactive.

My son is well liked at school and is well known to all the teachers. Unfortunately there is one boy who seeks him out everyday at interval to prey on him. Many other kids want to fight with the bully but no one has stood up to him. I dont have the right answers for my boy, he has tried to ignore, and that hasnt worked. Sometimes on his way home from school the bully lays in wait and then jumps out to punch my son in the head as he is riding his bike. WTF! What is wrong with these teenagers who feel the need to taunt and harrass other kids. I am trying to do what is right, recording stuff, notifying the school but I feel the bully gets away with it all the time!
For my kids

I'm so sorry to hear your son's going through this. I would report it to the police. There's been physical violence outside school, so report it to them before it escalates. What's the school doing about your reports? Send an individual letter to every member of the school's board of governors if you're not satisfied with the school's response and express your concerns. It shouldn't be too hard to find out who they are.
Get more help and advice from the resources listed on this page below. Scroll down to the section that says "Outside the UK". (I'm assuming you're in the US). Educate yourself on what the anti-bullying laws are in your state and let the school and authorities know you want them enforced.

Bullying was once considered a childhood rite of passage. Today, however, bullying is recognized as a serious problem. As a mom I think one of the best things we can do to help prevent bullying is set a good example. And I believe that we can help our children prevent bullying before it starts by creating classroom communities in which children's love and belonging needs are met. We need to teach children how to care about each other, how to use kind words, how to support each other's learning, and so on. I would like to share this link, about a service on how you can protect your children. You might find it interesting: http://safekidzone.com
