[quote=Anonymous]What are my options?  Middle school child was punched repeatedly on bus despite child's pleas for bully (plus one other kid) to stop.  There are witnesses, although sadly none stepped in to help (maybe for fear of being targeted also).  Child got off the bus crying while bully continued to taunt him.  The punches weren't hard enough to leave a mark, but from my standpoint it's not okay if the bully so much as touched child with his finger.  I don't think this should be a warning situation for the bully, but rather zero tolerance and kick him off the bus, suspend, excel, or whatever.  I know there is a bully reporting form and am planning to speak with school guidance counselor as starting point.  Also know the bully's parent, although not friends, and considering contacting directly.  Feeling upset and terrible for child and beyond furious at bully.  Can't go through entire school year like this.  Sick to stomach and appreciate any guidance from those who have been there.[/quote]
