As expected, DS got dragged into counselor and told to turn over names, which he did but only in writing because was nervous.
Kids were called in individually, acknowledged it but said it was friendly "roasting."
One, to his credit, approached DS an hour later at recess totally of own accord, apologized and said thought it was good fun, didn't intend to hurt anyone, felt very badly that he was upset. The other two allegedly told classmates they were no longer his friend. He said they never said this to his face however and have more or less acted normally. All teasing has stopped, he says.
Not a peep from any of other families, whomh I know, so I kinda think maybe they were never contacted? (Which is fine by me, I honestly am not sure we handled appropriately and wanted to give DS strength to end it on his own at his age, by ignoring them, fighting back or just finding others to play with).
Glad this worked out for you.
