I think maybe he was about 20 years old not at all intimidating to me. I'm pretty tough when I want to be . He had some choice words for me. I would think so! Then the mother walks up,I didn't know she was just up the street.
She started yelling, I yelled back. Then the principle shows up then all the action stops. Of course I was the Bad Guy and yes what I did was wrong but a mothers anger gets the worst of you...
One thing good happened though, that little monster left my daughter alone after that.
But there's always more where that came from....
So here we are again ...
yesterday my daughter came to the car in tears explaining about the three girls ganging up on her so I go get out of the car very upset two of the girls I then see at the gated fence I asked them about the incident one of them is in denial and acting all miss innocent and the other starts bad mouthing me all I saw was red I lost control of the situation and I raised my voice and said your pretty brave all of you in your little gang how would you like it if it were the other way around? And I was so mad I really couldn't believe how disrespectful that little girl was behind that fence speaking to me and then I thought for a moment what kind of hell is my daughter really going through on a daily basis with little monsters like these? And what kind of parents are raising these kids to speak to adults and treat others like this? What is our future children growing up to become? Pretty scary if you ask me....
So I then walked to the office to speak to the principle. I explained pretty much everything. Maybe I left out a couple of parts of me getting mad.
So he told me that he would take care of the matter.
So the next day we get a phone call about 11:00 my husband happens to be home because this particular morning he needed to accompany me to an appointment.
We just got home it was on the answering machine.
It was Our daughter her voice sounded very depressed. She said she felt ill and she wanted to come home.
* note *
Just to let you know my husband knows nothing about anything about this bullying situation that's been going on, because if he knew he wouldn't handle it very well.
So at this point I knew I needed to inform him what was going on.
The reason for the phone call I thought was because maybe my daughter felt she just couldn't take it any more and just wanted to come home. She never misses school she almost has perfect attendance even though she only mentions to me "mom I don't hate school, I just hate the people at the school! " she loves to learn. My dear little girl...
When we talk to the principle we find out he never got a chance to even speak to the girls yet, but one of the mothers did call and made a complaint that I approached her daughter and had some choice words with her. Principle advised me not a good idea...
And to find out that my daughter was really ill. My husband also told the principle that my daughter would not be back to school until this matter is resolved.
It is 7:00 p.m. And my daughter feels fine now she did have a bad headache and she felt very sickly and very depressed. She worries about falling behind her studies., she wonders if her principle will call home tomorrow? We shall see...
She has been seeing a counselor for the past year for an accident that happened to her I'm really thinking about getting her treated for depression. She has quite a bit of social anxiety issues and lotts of headaches. It's so sad when a young girl cannot enjoy youth like a normal girl.
Here is a story that I thought my blog fans might like to read...
(My husband knows the father of this young boy) and I feel it is appropriate to what is at hand here and if you are a parent or not we as a people really need to take a stand and open our eyes and try to figure out something to solve this major issue that's hurting our young people because they are our future and our loved ones. Who else do they have? If not us?
Should 11-year-old Brenton Peraita make death threats — and suggest he wishes he had a gun — to deal with the bullies tormenting him at Riverbend Elementary in Yuba City, California? Of course not, and while calling in the police may have been a slight overreaction, I also don’t think it’s a terrible policy to take every precaution possible when it comes to students threatening bodily harm. But once we figure out Brenton’s punishment (he’s been arrested and charged with making criminal threats), how about we deal with the bigger picture? Like the one where Brenton endures bullying whenever he’s at school, subjected to name calling (“Brentina,” “homo,” “fag”), having his glasses broken, and the usual threats that gay-perceived students face. Because Jose Peraita, his father, says they’ve complained to the school fifty times about the harassment, and nothing has been done. “His reward for standing up for himself and saying, ‘I’m no longer going to be the victim,’ was a ride to the police department and a mug shot,” says Jose to Fox 40. No, that’s not true: Brenton was arrested because he talked about using a gun to silence his bullies, and that’s simply unacceptable. (Three other students involved in the incident were issued citations.) But Jose and Brenton, who was also suspended, are right that more needs to be done to keep this boy safe in school. So what’s the school’s response? Here’s Bruce Morton, the school’s director of attendance and student welfare: “We understand that it does happen, and we’re not going to say it doesn’t. Let’s be realistic. But I will tell you when I heard ‘a year and a half,’ and there were ’50 times,’ I can tell you that number is way out of whack.” Might Jose — who says his family doesn’t “have a gun,” as if that changes anything — be over-exaggerating in his claims of reporting bullying? Sure. But just one report should be enough to raise some serious red flags, where administrators realize they potentially have a dire situation on their hands. Brenton did something wrong, yes. The people responsible for keeping him safe, however, appear to have wholly failed him.
