[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np. I am so sorry this happened. My thoughts:

1. Tell the school. I’m no longer in DMV but at our public kids can be disciplined for activities that take place outside school. They may be able to help determine whether anything has been uploaded to social media.

[b]You also don’t want your kid to have any classes with these boys and they should have different lunch periods. [/b]

2. Tell the coach. He has a problem on his team and needs to know.

3. Tell the parents. I like the idea of a group email to all of them. You shouldn’t have to send 14 separate emails.

4. Help for your son: therapist to process the incident and confirm it was not his fault. Also, to increase confidence so he learns that these guys are not his friends and that he should not aspire to be friends with him.

Good luck and please keep us posted. Your kid sounds awesome and he does not need to hang out with these jerks. [/quote]

This is unnecessary and very likely impossible.[/quote]

Restraining order[/quote]

At that point it’s easier to switch schools.[/quote]

Only 5 of the kids go to the same school as DS.  He has his own friends at school outside these boys.

But these boys (soccer boys) are of a higher social status and could make DS life hell if the wish.  He knows that.

When will this social status crap end.  They already made his life miserable.   He needs to make friends with the football, hockey and lacrosse players if your concern is them bullying him. Soccer isn’t exactly known for, well, anything in the US except children’s activities.  Maybe a new sport would help. [/quote]
OP be careful that you are not inadvertently feeding into your sons adulation/interest in friending these kids. No one at our school would classify kids in social order. Yes there are multiple social groups but no one thinks there is a hierarchy.

I also think you’d be wasting your time pursuing this legally. That will be an expensive, time consuming game that won’t win much. You need to put your energy into positive things. Start w/ soccer - this is a great time to find a better team and maybe a better club. Or if your son doesn’t love soccer and isn’t going to play through hs, then put the money and time into an activity where he may click better and not be walked over trying to fit in. What about a robotics club/team in addition to his school robotics?[/quote]
