[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A concussion is very serious, but you said it was a joke, and the kids have no history and no beef. I don’t see anything that needs to be done here. What are the parents looking for? To make sure the pusher knows it’s not a funny joke and will never do it again? That seems reasonable. [/quote]

It’s this.  When my son was in middle school, he said all of them would quickly run into friends and push them into lockers when they weren’t looking.   It was foolish middle school behavior and they are lucky no one got hurt.  If these boys are really friends then the other kid must feel terrible.  If they were doing something like this, hopefully it stops the behavior and it doesn’t happen anymore.   I’m not sure what else they want at this point. N[/quote]

Agree that this sounds like a joke gone bad. Middle school kids are notorious for their inability to think through consequences of their actions and lack of impulse control. They think the stupidest things are funny. Kids will have consequences. Your friend will only ever know if rumors start at school. But bottom line is the victim is not a target of bullies and schools cannot prevent every stupid thoughtless act by impulsive kids. [/quote]
