I threatened him.

NC.
Was walking home today and I saw the boy who has been physically bullying my 15 yo ds. I caught up with him and told him that if He ever lays another finger on my son I will kill him. He was on his own and not so tough without his wee pals around him. I'm still shaking. I honestly wanted to smash his ugly smug face in with something

YANBU

Ignore posters that are trying to make you feel bad. And if you do get any come backs, just deny it!

"Threated to kill him? Me? Don't be so ridiculous!"

I hope he thinks on.

Not ideal but sometimes instinct takes over. When DD was bullied it went on for months and I said nothing because DD begged me not to, just quiet words with the teacher that achieved nada! Coming back off holiday after half term she was so cheerful and looking forward to going in. As we came through the gate, I saw the bully see DD then rush to round all the girls up and heard her say "Remember what we said while she was away, that nobody will talk to her or be friends with her. DD heard and her face just crumpled. I went to the girl and said "what's that?! What did you just say about DD? Let's go and say it toyour teacher together and then your Mum and then the headteacher, come on, lets go!" She cried and ran off. It came out of me before I could stop it and I do not regret it.

Anti you put your DD's name in your post, just incase you want to remove it.

A 15 year old boy isn't really a child. He's likely as big as or bigger than a lot of women, and he's less than 1 year away of being considered an adult in the UK.

That being said, if you felt the need to say something, you would have been better off telling him that if he touches your child again, you will be contacting the police. That's not a threat, that's a promise.

I am with you OP!

These people calling him a child, Christ sake he's 15 !

I totally get why you would boil over.

I'm with you op, sometimes you just have get involved.

My dd arranged for some friends to have a strong word with the little scrots who pushed dd2 (aged small 12) in a river, in January, just before dusk, where they were in the river for an hour before they could get out. The police were less than useless.

They were terrorising the neighbourhood, mugging grannies, setting fire to things, vandalising local businesses, intimidating people in town and loads more.

I didn't know until after the fact but I'm not sorry for it.

Good for you, might shock the little fucker into being less awful. One day he might piss someone off who would actually harm him so you've probably done him a favour.

YANBU. I would have done the same.

Little bastard deserves it.

Bullies don't deserve anything less.

But I wouldn't be surprised if that mard arse goes running to mummy and the police turn up.

I don't blame you but unfortunately I doubt any good will come of it.

My 14 year old is way bigger than me.

The 15 year old in the OP is very likely to be the size of a man.

Of course it isn't ideal but its bollocks to suggest a one off threat is as bad as sustained bullying

Sometimes we have to stand up for our families.

Op I think you did the right thing. If someone was bullying my dc I would probably do the same. This country seems t have gone crazy, no ones allowed to tell off a child, threaten them or physically touch them, this is why o many of them have no respect, no fear and think they can get away with it.

I wished one of my parents had done this to the people that bullied me when I was 15 tbh. I didn't understand why nobody ever stood up for me. It's such a horrible situation and most of the time there is no recourse and they do get away with it.

YANBU. It's easy to say YABU when you yourself haven't had a child who's been bullied. You would soon change your tune if you were at your wits end trying to make it all go away for your child and couldn't. We all know that OP doesn't actually intend on killing this horrid child but he has to know that there are people out there who are not afraid to stand up to him.

She didn't lay her hands on the little shit, I doubt she'll be facing an assault charge

Assult is fear of violence, laying your hands on someone is battery, so she could very well be charged with assult.

Threatening to kill a 15 year old. Not okay.

There's no proof that she did anything though is there, he was on his own?

I deplore bullying and believe words OK but threatening to kill him?

So if it escalates and he continues to bully are you going to carry out your threat of physical harm?

I'd have done it too, the horrible little shit. There's not a chance I'd sit by and watch somebody ruin my child's teen years (as mine were). I know that makes me as bad as the bullies but I couldn't give a fuck, quite frankly. I hope you scared the shit out of him op. Good for you.

I have no issue with this. Me and my siblings was horribly racially bullied as kids by these particular two teenage brothers. In the end, my mum drove her car at one (she obviously wouldn't have hit him), then got out and gave him basically the same speech. They left us alone after that. I can't bring myself to feel bad about it.

I cannot understand why anyone would criticise the poster for what she did. I would do the same. When I was 11 i was being badly bullied at school. My mother came in and spoke to the ring leader and basically warned her off in no uncertain terms. The bullying stopped completely. If someone had done this to my child I would have done the same. Why should the bullies be pitied? They need to be called to account.

All of these posters saying OP is wrong and just as bad as him etc etc - what would you do if your child had been badly bullied and you saw the little shits in the street? Bullies need to be confronted. If a kid ever bullies mine I will make sure they know who they're messing with.

I don't blame you OP. To those saying he's only a child, he's not! He's a bullying twat!!

Since when was a 15 year old a child? In th
