I'd be just as angry if anybody put their hands on my babies. I'd want to personally administer a good old fashion *** whooping on them kids. It's difficult though. Most of the time the reason kids act so cruel is because their parents never taught them any damn consideration. It's ridiculous. I feel bad for your son.

But....before you get to angry you have to remember that bullying and the occasional fight between peers is more normal then not normal. Everybody can name a time some kid did something outrageous to them in school, I know I can...many probably. For a twelve year old boy, it's time to teach him defense. The first day my boy comes to me and tells me he was hit or bullied is the day I'm going to teach him to fight back. If a kid's dignity is stripped from them, other kids will never leave him alone.

Take him to some self defense courses or karate classes or something, or teach him what you know. Boys like that stuff anyway, I'm sure he'd like it.

As far as getting to the point of an uproar, it's unnecessary. Nothing will probably come of this situation...the worse would be suspension. Sadly the reality. For witnesses, nothing most likely. Just remember these are kids doing stupid cruel things and nobody else can really be at fault for their behavior besides themselves (somewhat the parents, but that's another issue).

Sorry this happened to your boy...nobody deserves to be bullied.
