[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullying can and does happen by kids with special needs.

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

The safety of all children is paramount. The rights of the victimizer do not trump the rights of the rest.

I'm wondering if you have a child with SN. There are many reasons why a child with SN would become aggressive and none of them have to do with a real or perceived power imbalance.  Anxiety is one of the more common reasons.  Not saying aggression is excused but we have no indication that it is bullying in this case.[/quote]

What you meant to say is, "There are many reasons why a child with SN would become aggressive and only one of them has to do with a real or perceived power imbalance."  Kids with SN can be bullies in the ordinary sense of the word.  Kids with SN can also be aggressive and/or violent without being bullies.  [/quote]
