[quote=Anonymous]MCPS trains their admin to look for something BOTH the victim and the bully can work on. It makes it a lot easier to document that they acted and that it's just kids being kids or it's a conflict between two kids. Bullying is not conflict BETWEEN two kids.

For my son who was the victim of bullying and the kid who physically attacked him and said he'd kill him in the halls, both were given the same punishment - lunch detention.

Wanna know what my kid did to get lunch detention? He told a friend that he had been threatened and was scared.

The school said kids are only permitted to tell school admin if there is a safety issue - not other students. That is total BS - it's not in the handbook and you cannot legally silence a victim! He was scared and knew the kid he told would look out for him. Admin had already swept other incidents under the rug. I told them my son turned to other students because the school wouldn't help.

There is someone who handles special cases like this for MCPS. It's been a while and I can't remember but the person was actually helpful. Luckily we haven't had this problem in a while.

I'm sorry OP. It sucks. Why not call police?

I'd have a lawyer contact MCPS too
