[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly!  It's not likely to be prosecuted, but the parents and kid need to know that it *could* be.[/quote]

So OP reports it, there are no witnesses except for the boys egging on the perpetrator.  I think that number has been reported as 10 boys, but it may have increased.  Dunno.

So we've got the word of 1 girl v. 11 boys, off school grounds, no witnesses, and no signs of physical damage.  Sounds like a really strong case...[/quote]

Why is everyone so obsessed about this. It sounds lIke the goal would be to have a person of authority tell him that's not acceptable. Is the concern that he's too much of a fragile flower for an adult to tell him to cut it out?[/quote]

Exactly!  He needs to have someone make him see that peer pressure/encouragement from friends can't outweigh what he should know is wrong.[/quote]

There was one child telling him to stop, and 10 more telling him to do it. An adult would put all of that into perspective.

You know what's odd? My daughter is expected to protect herself independently when outnumbered, suck it up [i]and[/i] not have an emotional reaction. The boy is just an awkward child who did something stupid and he shouldn't be reminded that his behavior was unacceptable. After all, he's just a child!

If a group of girls had done this to the Op's daughter instead would you still want to make sure that they were held accountable?  I ask because girls actually tend to be way worse to other girls than boys are.[/quote]

Not OP, but I would.  I was bullied all throughout school, sometimes it was a one-off for the kid that day, sometimes that kid did it frequently to me and/or others.  Either way, I don't care what the gender of the child is, every child should know by middle school if not later ele to keep their hands to themselves.[/quote]
