[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The DCUM bullies here are treating the weight thing as a straw man. If the OP just said "my kid is being bullied" -- would it matter what the reason was? You sound like you're rationalizing the abhorrant behavior because there's a possible weight issues. Maybe a victim is transgender. Somewhere on the autism scale -- at what point is it not ok to blame the victim or the victim's concerned parent.

Whatever a "healthy weight" for this child may be is none of your business. You seriously need to STFU

With the exception of one person, no one is rationalizing the behavior of the students.  People are suggesting that in addition to addressing the bullying, the mom address the child's weight issue, which is a separate issue of health, regardless of whether he is bullied about it.  BTW, really nice and classy, telling someone you disagree with to STFU.  You are a complete hypocrite and definitely not one to preach to anyone about bullying.[/quote]

I am not the PP, but you are missing the point. [b]Continuing to harangue someone about weight when they have not asked your opinion and you are not the child's physician is, in itself, akin to bullying.[/b] This kind of holier-than-thou backseat parenting is deeply offensive. You are modeling the exact same judgmental and hurtful behavior that we are trying to get these middle schoolers to stop doing.[/quote]
