[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this the same group of boys doing this over and over?  It sounds like bullying to me, I'd talk to the school counselor. [/quote]

It's the boys she's been with since kindergarten, not anyone coming from the other elementaries. And to complicate matters, she was in a small elementary school with a relatively tightly knit parent group. Do I reach out to these boys' parents? One of the worst offenders is the son of a couple we used to socialize with. We sort of drifted apart but I'd still call them friends. [/quote]

If you feel comfortable reaching out to the parents, I would do that.  I had to with an incident with my son. Unfortunately it kind of ended our relationship with the parents as friends, now it just a casual hello. The dad was pretty understanding, but the mom was really hurt.  I don't regret it, her son was a real pain in my son's life.[/quote]

I would go to the school. What if they don't react well then you would make it a bigger thing by going to the school after you talk to them. Also those parents will talk. Some will become defensive. It won't work out well. A parent once "reached out" about something she thought happened with a group of children. She was incorrect with some facts and the parents thought she was incorrect with others although she wasn't, and believe me some of the other parents were really defensive and upset about the false accusations.
