[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I know I need to focus on my kid, I do, and I know that hoping for "payback" is fruitless, but I'm mostly curious. Why do they keep getting away with it? [b]Will they have repercussions? [/b]

Hopefully not - ideally they will receive empathy and guidance from trusted adults.

Your fixation is really misplaced here!![/quote]

It's not a "fixation" and it is also not misplaced. I would want them to feel some consequence, too. And, finally, one can focus on your own kid AND want to see the bully get his/hers, at the same time. [/quote]

You certainly can focus on whatever you want, but I would recommend the high road instead. Ask yourself if a perfectly emotional healthy person would ever need to see a child “get theirs” in order to feel satisfied.

It can be tough and triggering to see our kids experience bullying and feel that pain. But that does not excuse your instincts here.[/quote]

+1 it’s hard to see your child with hurt feelings but your desire for suffering for the perceived wrong doer is seriously off base. [/quote]
