Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Hi all. I thought I would tell you about what Chance is going through right now. There is a boy (7 yrs, gosh they start early), who recently moved in 2 doors down and he is the " bully " of the neighborhood. There has been 2 incidents on the bus where he has physically done something to Chance. The last on he kicked and pushed him under the seats of the bus. Chance is very unbalanced and was stuck. THe bus driver had to help him out. He came home with 3 big bruises on his legs. I had a go-around with the school about it (which only got the principal to warn this boy). Then that evening, Chance was outside playing and the boy came up to him and said " We arent at school so you cant run to the principal now. What are you going to do " . The boy didnt know I was watching (Chance cant play outside with out me watching, is child came after him with a shovel one day). So I went to his house to speak with his moer (the school didnt inform her as to what had happened on the bus), and I explained Chances CMT to her. She told me she would straighten him out. The next day he started calling Chance " handicap-boy " and things to that extent (some I cant repeat on here). And now he is telling all the kids things like this about Chance. SO needless to say going to his mom didnt help. I do however tell Chance that he may be weaker than the other kids but he makes up for it in his mind b/c he is smarter than the average 6 year old. This seems to tide him over for now, but what happens in a few years when it will bother him real bad, I dont know. Sorry so long, but thought I would share this with you. amy http://community.webtv.net/amy913/FromtheHeart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Hello amy, Rose from Sweden here! Sorry to hear about your Chance. It makes me so angry that weak children all over the world must go through the same thing - teasing etc I told my boys about Chance ( they are 8 and 12) and asked them what they thought should be done. " Call the police said my 8 year old Patric " . Well...But in Sweden it has been common that children who are being assaulted real bad by other children can go to the police for investigation and protection. When Patric was teased in school last year an older boy (13), a relative, followed Patric to school and stayed with him for a hole day. That gave Patric respect and the teasing kids calmed down. When my oldest boy Pierre had problem with a teasing boy when he was around 6 we talked to him about how cowardly the teasing boy must be and if he tried to scare that boy a little it would help. Well next time the teasing boy came Pierre walked against him and waved with his fist. The other boy turned out to be so cowardly as we thought. He turned and ran away. Well that´s about us, good luck to you and Chance, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor had the police called on her boy for picking on kids at the bus stop. The schools where I live are hands off so any hands on a child will get the kid suspended or expelled. I wouldn't put up with this bullie for nothing. You need to do what ever you can to shut him up before he hurts Chance beyond what you can fix. A big kid grabbed Spencer the other day right in front of me and I very firmly said " This is a hands off school hands off my son or I go to the principal " The kid must have thought I was a crazy nut he let go of Spencer and has never said another word to him again. The weak get picked on, Chance is to young to fight for himself so you do it! I am with you in spirit. I had to talk to a mean kid for teasing Adam about his AFOs. By the time I was done with her she was sorry and her brother made her feel sorrier when she told their Mother what she had done. OHHH I hate this topic.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Hi Amy and Rose, Amy that must be heartbreaking and such a worry for you because of that bully. I read out your email to my husband and he said exactly the same thing that Rose's son Patric said " Go to the police about it " . Even if the police just go and talk to the mother and son, they might take your concerns more seriously. And I agree with you Rose that bullys are often cowards, they always pick on someone smaller or weaker than they are. Apparently there are some advocacy groups for preventing violence against children. Does anyone know of them? Hope you find some help for this frightening problem.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 hi amy about chance being teased i believe it has esculated beyond that and this 7 year old bullie really is a big problem being a former police officer i have seen alot of this and it is starting at a younger age more and more like ruth said it starts at home he see,s it and copies it he does not know any different if talking to the parents doesn,t help than you need to persue it with the police and school we have been lucky with carlene she does not get teased or picked on but has lots of friends and an older sister and young uncle that won,t allow it to happen hope it works out ok and tell chance it takes a stronger man to walk away than to fight my father taught me that and he would have killed me if i did that or hit a girl or a women there is to much fighting now adays well i could go on for like others have said it really bothers me for this to happen and tell chance we all love him brad > Hi all.
