[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree to fight back and be smart about it. DH was targeted by a bully (from a wealthy and well-known family..) in high school who would often spit on him, shove his backpack, spread rumors about his gay friends, etc.

DH took matters into his own hands and made giant posters and put them up all around town and around campus (but not on school grounds) with funny and salacious rumors about the bully... won't repeat them here. Bully had the family lawyer threaten DH but DH calmly explained that if they tried to sue, DH would counter sue for assault and he had a list of many kids and witnesses willing to testify against the bully. Bully never bullied DH or anyone else from school after this and decades later people from their high school still talk about it and congratulate DH for shutting down the bully...  [/quote]

The posters are probably a bad idea. I know someone who did this and they were suspended. A word to the wise.

Agree to ask for the footage and have a lawyer contact the school, OP.  If it is FCPS, then trust that nothing will happen to the bully, because the bully has likely been in trouble before, and the parents know how to get the bully out of trouble.  I have witnessed physical assaults (plural) in FCPS, and nothing happened to the assailant (caught on camera), so be aware. [/quote]
