I would make it clear to them that the bullying was causing you and your child distress, and I would then say that it would be a pity if you were forced to leave the church over it. I've left churches in the past because of unChristian behaviour like this. Your poor kid. And what rotten parents. They need to know that their behaviour (because this is the parents' fault, not the children's) makes them hypocrites. How can they stand there on a Sunday, talking about loving your neighbour, honouring God, serving Christ if they allow their children to behave like little monsters?

But I'm afraid to say that if they're the kind of self righteous bigots I take them for, they won't believe there's anything their children could possibly do wrong, and they'll justify their own indolence. I'm really sorry... tell the pastor what's going on, and that you will both be forced to leave the church if nothing is done about it. Perhaps he could speak on your behalf. Or separate the kids into different groups, if the bullies are in a different age group to your poor little son.

I'm fuming. I hate this kind of thing.
