What would you do? Does the Law Apply?

[Nuke And Juke]

Here is a tidbit of a sad story in Texas. Sure, this isnt Texas but it could have been almost everywhere else. To what extent do we protect our kids?

Growing up, I've had my skirmishes and let's meet at the bike racks after school. Now a days, no one ride bikes and bullying takes it to a whole new level.

I've got kids in this age group and I'm speechless for once and dont know what to do or how to proceed. I find myself with different emotions each time I read this article.

What would you do? How do you apply the law?

That makes my blood boil. I have two young boys and I stay up at night worrying about crap like this. We've already had minor incidents where a kids took one of my boys drink at lunch and threw it in the trash, another incident where a kid hit mine in the face. The school always says they'll "handle" it but I doubt the do much.

Honestly I'd probably have a violent response if I was in the shoes of the parents in the article. My wife doesn't like my responses to when stuff happens to my kids at school. She's more passive than I. She's a turn the other cheek believer, and I'm an eye for an eye believer.

I would OWN the other kids parents and the school, along with the principle and maybe the superintend as well.

2, 3 and 4.

2-That would never happen if my child was in my care, so it's your fault if it happens when they are in your care.
3-If you raise little thugs, you pay the price.
4-My kid unconscious on the floor is a BIG F'n DEAL! If you don't understand that, you should not be in the job at all.

This could have been fatal for the kid. If this happened to my kid, I don't know how I would react.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I know the teachers can't watch kids every minute of the school day, but this can't be first time these kids were acting like this.

I would sue everyone possible to try to get justice legally. If that did not work, I would seek other, perhaps, non legal recourse.

You guys talking about a violent response, who would it be directed at? The group of 8 and 9 year olds that did it?
