My wife woke up as I was falling asleep this morning, and said she had to show me something before I went to sleep. To start, there’s been a boy on the school bus that my daughter (the middle girl) has complained about for a while. He’s called her names, and even made a rape reference that she told on him for, but nothing was done. There was an altercation that got physical yesterday, and the boys parents took to local news page on Facebook. They posted pictures of their son ( who is the same age and as big as my daughter), with a bruised face and wrist. They had this long pitiful post about how their kid was being bullied, was attacked, and they were pressing charges. Of course everyone on the site was in poor kid mode, demanding justice for whoever did it. This is the first time ever that any of my kids have been in a physical confrontation. The school called today, and the whole incident happened on the bus, and was on camera. All parents were asked to come and watch, and here’s what happened. The camera not only recorded video, but sound. The boy was being a bully to several kids, calling them names, laughing at the way they looked, even making racist remarks to a black kid. My daughter was telling him to shut up, he was sitting in front of her, and was pushing at another girl. When he did that, my daughter jumped over the seat, grabbed his wrist that was out towards the other girl, and used a sweet move I taught her😉 to bend his arm, and jacked his jaw. She of course is in some trouble, and getting one day suspension, but the boy has been kicked off the bus for his actions. I don’t like bullying, and have always told mine I’d bust their butt right there at school if they were ever guilty. We just experienced firsthand that not all these stories are as they seem. If you had seen his parents on Facebook, you’d think my daughter was the bully (they never put a girl done it😆). She was actually standing up to the bully, and brought the boom. I’m gonna take her for ice cream tomorrow!

Good for your daughter! You raised her right. Sounds like the bully should get kicked out of school. I doubt this is the last you hear about him.

I’m expecting more problems when other kids rag him for getting his jaw jacked by a girl.

Outstanding. It says a lot about your daughter to not only stand up to bullying, but to do so in the defense of others. Speaks to her character and some pretty wonderful parenting.

Awesome. Also glad she knew better than to use the other "sweet move" you showed her with witnesses around. (I am of course referring to the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique)

That's great.

Her being suspended stinks though. If she was clearly defending another, then to me, her suspension is bullcrap. No one should ever be punished for doing the right thing.

Probably because she should have gotten the attention of the bus driver rather than taking things into her own hands.

I will give props to the principal, she let my daughter come home for the rest of the day. She was gonna have in school suspension for a day, but the principal said she completely understands why she did what she did.

If all of the bullies actions were on the video and plain to see, it seems this should have been dealt with a long time ago. I'm sure this isn't the first time this kid bullied others or acted out.

My bus driver was a lot like my mom, you couldn't get crap past him, not even in the very back seats. And he didn't let crap like this go on.

Seems the bus driver let this go on longer than it should have.

But I wasn't there so I can't say for sure. I hope he didn't allow it to come to this.
