Re: If your child were being bullied
Posted by Ookpik
My DD, 7, is a constant target for bullying. She's autistic, you see and clearly the weakest one in her class. She loves everyone and wants desperately to fit in.
That said, she's been through the wringer: sexually abused, verbally bullied, physically bullied. All at the ripe age of 7.
I'm extremely on top of things with her. She's a high-functioning autistic and I'm teaching to hold her own.
The principal knows us quite well. I've been at the school many times (don't ask me about the police) and the teacher is well aware. She has an aide, who is also aware. But at the end of the day, teachers, aides, etc. don't always have their eyes on my kid. I teach her to WALK AWAY. We do a lot of role play at home and practice different scenarios. We've taught her to tell the teacher immediately if she feels like she's being bullied. And last case resort-with the new laws in place, there's always the threat of a lawsuit.
Best advice I can give: Be present-at the school and for your child. Make sure they know they're not in trouble for telling you what's going on (some kids threaten kids for telling), and believe and back your child up.
Your poor baby has been through so much  Sexually abuse??!!!! that's beyond horrible and disgusting, If it was my kid I would be locked up right now. Some people are truly worse then animals

Re: If your child were being bullied
Bullying is probably one of the main things that could happen to my child that scares me the most. It makes me so sad to think my boys could be bullied at school.

Re: If your child were being bullied
I see nothing wrong with "hitting back" when it comes to bullies.
See...I don't either. But the schools do. This is a photo of my DD's torso.
Those are claw marks. This picture was taken 6 days into this current school year. Another kid punched her in the chest and then clawed her stomach. What I cropped out (because it could be misconstrued as indecent) was the giant welt above the claw marks. After she received this (on the playground. They were playing a "game" according to the other kid), she kicked the kid who did it to her in the back. And guess who got into trouble? My daughter. The playground aides only saw her kick him. They made her sit out recess for the rest of the day. To an autistic child that is the MOST innocent kid, that's a big friggin' deal. We took these photos and submitted them to school. The child who did it to her got suspended. And this child hasn't touched her since.
Squeaky wheel=grease.

Re: If your child were being bullied
Ugggh ookpik so disturbing. Thank God you're hounding them, and getting them to wake up.
Those playground "aides" should have been canned as soon as your pictures were shown to the school by the way.
How does a kid get the opportunity to even do that to another child - we're not talking a simple smack here, we're talking pinning her down and repeatedly hurting her. What were they doing, chatting with each other about how hard their jobs are?  RAGE. The PURE RAGE this brings up in me I swear....
