[quote=Anonymous]I would discuss with the school to keep the kids separated but in all reality you are own your own.

If it has gone that far, I'd tell my child it is NOT ok to hit, but there are some situations where you do need to defend yourself or a friend (especially a girl if a boy is hurting her) and he has my permission to do what he needs to do (punch, hit, kick) to protect himself.  I would have been ok with my child stepping in to help his friend and would have defended him for helping his friend (the one that got pushed to the fence).  Maybe put the boys in Karate.

Sadly, sometimes hitting back harder is the only way to get a bully to stop.  When my kid was 4, a child/relative who repeatedly hit my child (visiting us), and he finally hit back (usually I stayed right by them trying to prevent problems but this time I was further away) and that solved that.  I kept warning the older child that my child is learning to hit from him and one day I may not be able to stop it.  [/quote]
