Re: wake up to bullying/E.C. Bernard, I agree with you

[Guest guest]

I agree with you. tWithout the school support it is very hard to stop the bullies.My daugther was bullied to the point that we admitted her to a mental hospital. I went to the police and asked them that I did not want to press charges, I just wanted these bullies to leave my girl . alone.

The school put her in a class where the bullies were not in. Now she has new friends and she has started over from scratch...So far she is doing good...

Now I am on the defense. I check her friends, if they associate with bullies I terminated the frienship.

Re: ( ) wake up to bullying/E.C. BernardSadly,,,,only parents with any idea of what bullying of their own kids is like or perhaps real parents with hearts can understand why this dad reacted the way he did.He was simply crushed over how his daughter was being treated and the fact that the damned school wasn't doing enought (if anything) about it.Sick.That's what the media should be focusing on.....the fact that nothing was being done to the bullies or familes to stop them and teach them NOT to be mean. Plain and simple.It seems it's a lot easier to focus on the "crazy" dad who is defending his child. Again.....sick.RobinAnd when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be.

It's a morning news talk show on Fox News. They had a news story of a father screaming at a bus load of kids and threatening them with death if they touched his daughter again. His daughter has CP and apparently, the kids on the bus were bullying her - putting condoms on her head, pulling body parts, poking, calling her names. so the dad got on the bus and started screaming at the kids and told them to knock it off or else. Apparently, the bus cam can catch the father screaming. I wonder if the camera caught the kids bullying? This man needs a good sped lawyer to get his hands on those video's. Now the father is being prosecuted. He had already gone to the school, asking for help. The school put two non-English speaking adults on the bus to help the situation...which did nothing. Even the bus driver is sitting there ignoring the situation as the father is screaming. I was just so upset after seeing this news clip and the resulting discussion. They had an "expert" on there, E.C., and I just screamed at the tv. The guy said all the same trite and useless things they all say. He said, "The father feels guilty" for having a child with a disability. (That's why he snapped...ugh, they so do not get it!!) and said we have to teach these kids (the bullied) to be more self-reliant. (Improve their self esteem...I was screaming, "We could improve her self-esteem better if those kids were not so effectively ripping it to shreds every day on the bus!" morons!) And really, this girl bravely got on the bus every day, knowing she would be teased and bullied. I don't think she needs a lesson to learn self-reliance. And of course, "Contact the school" for help. Which parents SHOULD DO, and which he did. But which accomplished nothing. There is only one E.C. in the world! <g> But the school staff were obviously doing nothing to stop the problem. The "expert" should have said "contact the school and threaten a lawsuit" to get their attention. Only then will they take it seriously. And finally, the expert came up with the biggest waste of time, "The father should talk to the parents of the kids who are bullying." The expert admonished that the parent has to approach this situation the right way. Oh please! What a disaster! Can you imagine a parent who has a child covered in condoms on a daily basis trying to say to another parent, "That's not nice." The situation is so beyond that. And the school staff should have hauled these parents in to discuss it long ago and then kicked these kids off the bus until they stopped. This is not something the parent should be doing. You are just setting up the same situation. Many times, these parents will defend their little darling to the death and are bully's themselves. You should not do this! You have no idea if you will be talking to reasonable parent who cares or one who is going to slug you for suggestion little ny is not an angel. I couldn't believe he suggested that. Then there was discussion about the "poor kids" on the bus who were "traumatized" by the parent screaming at them. I LOL. These kids were not traumatized and frankly, they deserved more than they got! A parent screaming at them? They see more trauma on you-tube, frankly. They are not stupid - they can understand "cause/effect" relationships. It was just the height of nonsense to hear them discuss this angle. I was disgusted. I thought about being on that bus as a student and I would have been thinking, "Thank God someone is finally doing something with these mean kids!" I think it is more "taxing" on the kids to have no adult solving the problem or in charge - to just be lost at sea on a bus with mob rule. What is more traumatizing than that?

(Maybe that's the first sign of senility or old age or mental illness or something? Yikes!) lol. I realized after reading your book, E.C., that I knew more than this "expert" about bullying. And I just felt so bad for the father in this situation. I remember standing in an office once being told, "We realize he was upset when they pushed his head into the window and wouldn't let him go, but we just can't have him screaming on the bus like that." (Made me wonder who had the learning disability, lol) I just relived that moment and wanted to scream at these people who don't get it. I wish I was really rich to send this man money to hire a good attorney. Ugh. I hope he gets a good atty just from the publicity his case is getting. He deserves it.

Good for you and your daughter. I'm sooo glad it's going better for her now.

If you don't mind me asking - what ever happened to the fricken bullies?

Glad they're staying away. But it figures, doesn't it, that nothing happened?Makes me so darned mad.

I remember once, there was this crappy kid who said he'd give my son $5 if he could beat him up. My son honestly said, "Ok, but we can't fight on school grounds". So, my son had the kid follow him to right where you are off grounds during their lunch recesss.

My son, who's fixation was $ at the time (from our modern-day $ to old coins), punched him good until the recess helper saw them.

They both are taken into the office where after all is said and done, my son gets 2 days of in-school-suspension and the "poor little boy" who got hit lost his afternoon recess that day.

Even after hearing from the SPED teacher that Ian was simply going after $,,,,,,,and that he was baited, nothing changed. I wish to God I could go back and fight this, but I was stupid and didn't know enough to stand up for him like I should have, but after speaking and crying to the Principal, he ended up with just 1 day and he got to serve it in the SPED room with great teachers. Had I had the balls I have now, I would have refused to let any of it happen and had made sure something happened to the bully.

Oh well.....we all learn.

Again, I'm happy for your daughter.

Roxanna"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - JeffersonHi,

I am not sure if it is over, but I am on the watch. The bully problem caused a great deal of stress on my child, that also has epilepsy. She did not know how to get rid of them, and she did not know how to communicate the problem to adults. If the children tell to the principal the problem the other children will stigmatized them and their social life would be affected. I play role play with her everyday and it has helped her to deal with it. Also her doctors, psyquiatrist and therapists called the school. while she as doing a partial hospitalization, the school was closed at that time.
