Now, the kid was bullying.
In my opinion that should warrant legal action against the parent.
I am in favour of parents been held accountable in court for failing to stop bullying.
Bullying needs to be made a crime.
I will not have kids, ever, because I do not want to put them in a world where it is acceptable for them to get tortured. Look how I turned out.
And if the kid keeps on being the bully after his/her parents are punished...what then? Punish them more? The fault lies with parents inability to instill the fear of consequences as such a thing is now deemed unlawful...this is why ye can fill a room with parents who just throw up their hand in frustration that their kids are totally outta control and theres nothing they can do about it.
So ye wanna punish the parents even though the law literally ties their hands behind their backs...all yer doing here is punishing the wrong people fer something that is beyond their control.
It might work in some cases but I would hazard a guess it wont work with all. Think about it...what legal consequences can a parent legally put in place that kids will fear? Answer has to be legal...I wait with baited breath on hearing how those without kids of their own think they better qualified than those with kids.
Ive never raised my hand to my daughter because of how I was brought up...I swore Id never turn out like my father and so far, I havent. That being said, my daughter knows there would be serious consequences if she were to put a foot wrong...she fears my temper more than anything even though she knows Id never hit her so maybe Im just lucky to have a voice that cuts through her bravado.
Last time a wee lad tried to bully her in school, the authorities simply didnt care because it would be a mark against the school...so I visited the wee lads parents and told them it was in their best interests that it stop...which it did very abruptly. I would expect exactly the same were she to start being a bully and it would work better than the law itself...the law is something I just laugh at because it doesnt work anyway, just makes things worse if ye let it...so dont let it and raise yer child how ye see fit and not how others see fit.
Seems to work fer me and I trust my daughter 100%...she even installed the tracker on her phone herself to prove to me she could be trusted. Tis a good thing she isnt a bully anyway considering Ive insisted she learn unarmed combat since she was 8 years old...any man were to hit her, she would likely break their arm shes more than capable.
To me, that means shes been raised right and I have done my job well...and while many might frown on some of my methods, I dont see an unruly teenager as the end result...I see a young girl who is more than capable of standing up fer herself in this mixed up world.
And to this day, my father still wont speak to me because I turned my back on what he wanted me to become when I was 17.
The mistake yer making here Unikorn is that yer allowing yer own experience to define you instead of just moving on which is what ye need to do. Yer playing the victim which means the bully wins and you lose. If ye dont change yer perception now, ye will find that it will define the person you eventually become. Learn to mentally move on...before its too late and prove to the bully that yer not as useless as they have led ye to believe. Yer not gonna do that with talk...talk is cheap anyway...go live yer life better than that...thats the proof thats needed and in the end, ye will feel better within yerself rather than just being one of lifes hapless victims ^
