a child at my DS's school, and from the same village has been verbally bullying my 10 yr DS for about 18 mnths. very sneaky and underhand but nice as pie to adults. DS says he has done it in front of this boys mother and she does nothing. i get on ok with mother, and our daughters are friends as well but she thinks its ok and my DS should just ignore it.
Yesterday my DS lashed out phsically. other child is milking situation and now my DS looks really bad, but he's not a bad kid, never seems to start trouble but gets wound up and then 'overreacts'
the other mother wants my DS to apologise and I in no way condone him
lashing out physically, but in his words
he's ''had enough and he's not putting up with it anymore''.
