My son is one of several at an out-of-school organisation who have been accused of bullying by another boy and his parents. The leader of this group has questioned all the boys - those involved and those not, and there is no corroboration of the so-called incidents, in fact the others who were present even say the incidents did not happen. I have closely questioned my boy as I would not hesitate to take action if I thought he was a bully. No real punishment has happened, other than a group telling off, but equally the cloud of suspicion remains.
I am asking for advice. Yes, of course, it is always possible that my boy is in the wrong, but the other boys accused with him are not in his particular friendship group - and the things they are accused of just don't ring true. They all seems a bit random tbh - almost as if the boy in question was coming up with things off the top of his head. The person in charge seems more likely to believe the parents of the boy because they complained so vociferously (and obviously because this person would not like to be accused of not taking bullying seriously.) It is affecting morale and spoiling what was a very happy group. Ideas please.
