I don’t know what I actually want to get out of this…probably just to vent and ask for advice!!
My 15 year old son has been getting bullied lately and it has become quite serious (like police level serious). Last week a bunch of boys all took it in turns to pee on a ball of toilet roll until it was saturated and then threw it at my son and he was drenched in their urine. He obviously walked out of school after that to come home for a Shower then went off to his afternoon college class. He told his guidance teacher the next day what had happened and he said he would deal with it etc.
Yesterday I had a phone call from my son during class time asking if he could come home as something else a bit more serious had happened. Apparently he went into the exact same school toilets as the last week and was in a stall having a pee when he noticed a hand holding a mobile phone appear under the stall wall and he could see that it was recording. He was standing up with his pants down at his feet taking a pee and his face and willy were both obviously noticeable because of the angle of the video. My son then tried moving away and the boys hand holding the phone followed him around the stall. He then told the boy to stop it and go away which point he did.
The first thing I advised him to do was go straight to the office to report the incident to the campus policeman as it was a tad more serious than the previous weeks problem then if the school were ok he could come home afterwards. So he went off and told the campus policeman and then came home.
later that day the school called me to let me know they were taking my DS complaint seriously and looking into it. They had found a suspect and we’re gonna talk to him and his parents and decide what to do next.
Today we sent DS into school but told him we were at the other end of the phone if needed and he m he’d to last half the day then came home this afternoon after finding out from his friend that at least 3 people maybe more in his class had seen the video and they were all making dick jokes using DS’s name. I think reading that got too much for him as he called me up begging me to let him come home.
My mum is raging and ready to storm down to the actual police station right now but we decided to give the school one more day and see what they come up with. We won’t let them brush it under the carpet like they will probably try though. If they try that we will go to the police ourselves. I spent most of yesterday in tears 😭 why are some children so horrible ? My DS is very meek and quiet and peaceful. More of a geek than anything. The only thing that gets him fired up is his Xbox games. He wouldn’t harm a fly.
How would you all feel and why would be your actions if this happened to your children?
