I have known family members who have been bullied in schools a few years back.One was sexually harassed,inappropiately touched on her breasts and rear end.When her mother went to school officials they said ,we have had many problems with this kid before doing this. We think it would be better for your daughter to move to a different school.They transferred her.
The 2nd case a niece was brutally beat up by a well known girl bully in school.The police were called and the girl had 2 outstanding assault complaints against her.She beat her face up pretty bad and my niece had to cancel a modeling photo shoot trip to California she had planned for the upcomming weekend.
The bully was well known by school officials and police.The schools response was to ask my niece to transfer to another school.
This goes on all the time.One of my children was continually bullied in 1st grade and hit and smacked etc..at recess.She kept going to the playground monitor and complaining,but all she would do is tell the kid to say your sorry.Incident reports are supposed to be made in cases like this,but were not being done.Finally I went to the school and told them if they did not protect my daughter from this kid and follow school policies we would have no choice but to file a lawsuit.
School officials did take action and solved the problem.I now make sure they are following school policies by writing incident reports on children that are being bullied or assaulted at school.
I reminded them this year that they better stick to the policies that are put in place to protect all children from being bullied at school.I told them I would hold them to their rules and regulations they put in place.

So this kid needs to take pride in his German roots and kick some a$$.

I'm trying to teach my girls how to fight.First with words ,not I want to be your friend words,and then teaching them how to fight,like punch some kids lights out.
However the great American Public School System is undermining my responsibilities as a parent to teach my kids how to defend themselves.Their way is to allow the bullies to continue bullying you while you are supposed to negotiate with them.All the while proclaiming they will not tolerate bullyig in the schools.

This is wrong and too PC for me. If my children are threatened or hit I have instructed them to haul off and punch the person in the face . Kids have every right to defend themselves and learn how to beat the crap out of some kid who thinks they can make their lives miserable because mommy and daddy didn't buy him the latest XBox game or their parents just got a divorce.

I told my children don't worry if they get suspended,they have every right to defend themselves.I've also taught them something very important that my mother taught me growing up.

Never start a fight,always make sure you end it.

This is for all of those whom have posted about this story, and have shown very little or no empathy what so ever. Before, you start degrading and cutting others down. Take a good long look at yourselves, and read what you have been posting on here. Your no different than what these kids have been doing to this young man that is in middle school. The only difference is, that your an adult, and they are still children.
People wonder where kids come up with stuff to say, and their actions of being mean? It all starts in the home, and they have two role models, who are always ( in most cases even to each other ) talking about this person, or that person in a cruel manner. Parents, whether they want to believe it or not. Your kids copy what you do, and what you say. If the hubby is mean to the wife? you can be rest assured the child will see or hear this, and he or she will do the same thing to another. Kids in general have very impressional minds, and they absorb everything they see and hear. Whether what they see and hear is right or wrong, they still take this into account. Furthermore, they see and hear mommy, and daddy acting out, or hear them voicing their comments. Then they figure it is alright to do the same, since their mother and father said or did this or that. There is only one to blame, and it is the PARENTS. Children are around their parents a whole lot more than their friends, and alot of kids want to be just like mom or dad and they emmulate their parents words, and actions more times than not.

Those of you that have resorted to name calling on this site. This isn't really at all necessary, or called for. Calling another a Moron, or some other name is only a mere way of showing that your unable to convey your message in a positive and constructive manner. Is this what society has come down to? those of you are still living in your middle school years? Does your vocabulary, and attitude adjust to the subject of the story?
It's very obvious that guns in a school don't mix, and whomever wrote a comment about introducing them was only wrting this to get a rise out of others. History has shown that ( Columbine High School ) making fun of, and calling a student(s) names can and does create alot of hurt feelings, as it also does the same in adults young or old.

It shouldn't be up to the School District to Discipline a student for a problem that was created in the home.

MarineGrunt, maybe T1anda assumed you were a bully growing up because you are bullying people here, now. Maybe you are just trying to be cute, but you come across as an ignorant hate monger. Such behavior only serves to tarnish the uniform so many patriots have worn before you.

I am sorry you feel like you need to educate all of us about how to raise a kid by letting the other kids torment them, but that is a short sighted parenting technique. All it got the young boy in question was a broken collarbone and day to day torment from the other students for no other reason than his ancestry.

What about the kids who are bullying the German boy. What would the school be teaching them if they just let it keep on as it has been? They would be teaching them that in social situations they should identify the weakest individual and berate them to elevate their social status. That is how you survive in prison (and maybe the marines for all I know), not how you survive in our society. If these kids keep acting like this, who's collarbone will they break next week? Is it a good enough excuse to say that the victim should have simply defended themselves?

For all of your tantrums about people feeling bad for the German kid because they identify with him, you also have no understanding for the person at the beginning of the post who apologized for doing the same as a child. Is it fair to say that your solution to the problem is to pretend that their is no problem, or that the problem is the solution.

The real issue here is, we pay taxes to have a public school system for all of our kids, and those kids should be free to attend school without being tormented. People like you are no different than the noose waving rascists of Jena, LA, or the rascists of the civil rights era who would scream hatred at black students only asking for the right to learn.

I know you will not understand this, and that you will probably just make fun of my testicles, but you are only proving my point that supporting ignorance and hatred only breeds more ignorance and hatred.

Well, Mr. Ulm, welcome to America where you too can win at "Life's Lotto". Better have a good talk with a great lawyer. $40 million is too little an amount. I'd go for enough to make then have to sell off school property and have to bus the little kiddies to Denver. Now that would be a humbling experience not only for the kiddies but but also for the parents that bred those little tykes. Hey, think of all the money they'd save not having to drive around the 'burbs.

Downey1967,Your somewhat right about it being a parenting problem.Where I differ from you is most kids see less of their parents than you think.With all the 2 parent working households,single parents,divorced and step parents,TV,Video Games,very little supervision at that age in particular,and the general breakdown of the family unit,parents are raising a future generation of not very bright children.The moral decay of society is getting worse.Twenty years ago did we have kids walking into schools and mass murdering,shooting teachers and just causing chaos in our schools,weekly?
These are the face of children growing up today.
Parents are so busy with their lives they don't have time for their kids,especially once they reach middle school.It seems that todays parents think that once a kid gets into middle school they are self sufficient,mature enough to take care of themselves,require little supervision,( they need their space)is reasoning for this.These are the critical years where these kids need guidance and discipline.Left to their own devices they will run with the pack,so to speak.The parents today seem to have a hands off approach to parenting.I don't mean you have to spank them,because I am against that.I mean letting them be too much alone with their friends and not having the parents spend more time as a family except maybe vacations.
Parenting requires a 24/7 committment,not a let them have their space committment.It is not working.

Yup, your right. The constant consuming of the parents have taught their kids that comfort can be bought. Add to that the need for both spouses to work to attempt to fulfill that need and the kids become parasitic. The underlying message to the kids is that they are the cause of the problem when in fact it is the parents that brought it upon themselves. The so called "good old days" were a time when things were somewhat more manageable financially than they are now. A good case in point is that my mom did her 1040 form on one sheet of paper in about a half hour. Now that we have become a more complex society due to the perpetual need to cross tee's and dot i's most parents are at their wits end and let their kids "have their space". But inflation has screwed up all our plans and this is what is due the piper. The appaulling lack of politeness and courtesy that is prevalent in our society goes beyond belief.
Adrian may have been teased in Germany, but he grew up with that and I'm sure his parents thought that he'd have a better go at it here. Ah, but we have laws! And as a true immigrant he needs to benefit from our lack of intelligence as witnessed in out kids. Ask any teacher. Or Trustin Amole...her daddy was Gene Amole who had a very strong sense of social justice that I admired. Heck, Gene impressed me the first time I met him.

School Districts talk the talk but don't walk the walk. I've dealt with Jeffco with a similar problem BEFORE Columbine and they just gave a " wink and a nod " to the problems with bullies..

They still did AFTER Columbine too. The only thing that gets attention is a LAWSUIT.

Cherry Creek SD had a similar JOCK bullying problem shortly after Columbine. They pledged to eliminate the problem then too.

To the Neanderthals that still advocate using force: Read THE BOOK STARSHIP TROOPERS by RA Heinlein ( you CAN read, right? ). It has a good discussion on the proper use of force and when to use it.

Since when does a pudgy Kraut get to whine to the media about name calling at school? He agreed to fight. He lost and the other kid got expelled. I think the school should have expelled both kids for fighting. Isn't that their policy?
And I don't see a problem with a fair fist fight. It's a good lesson for every kid to learn.
There is always someone bigger than you acting rudely. You still need to control yourself and follow the rules; in the very least properly weigh up your opponent before flying off and fighting.
I could care less what the other kid said about him or his dad. He needs to learn to deal with his problems himself and realize he is a part of his issue. How sad for him that he isn't learning anything important from his experience since his Dad and the school are taking all the responsibility and leaving him as the victim. Are we sure he isn't French?

3. Why can't you realize that there is a difference between bullying and assault?

While waiting for answers to the above, a few observations:
1. FIDOS- by your own prejudiced comment, you have ruined whatever point you were trying to make.
2. MarineGrunt- your comments are an insult to the corps. You ought to be ashamed. I'm a disabled vet, and your comments are an affront to all military (active or non). I'm not surprised you think what happened to this boy is okay; after all, you sound like a 12-yr old bully yourself.

Granted most parents seem to think they have lives to live. The only living they really should be doing is teaching their children to be honest, respectable, law abiding citizens. They also should think of things that they can do that involves their children, and get them off and away from the computer, video games, and take their cell phones away from them. Give them a phone with minimal minutes on the phone, and use it for cases of emergencies only. Until after those children (that they decided to bring into this world) are 18 years of age or older and out of the home. The parent shouldn't be concerned with a life except going to work, putting food on the table, and putting clothes on their children. NO ONE forced them to have children, but yet there are others in society that have to deal with rude, and inconsiderate children of parents that think everyone else should raise their kids.
It's not rocket science, and furthermore this wasn't ever a problem when I was growing up. But, then again there was a much greater sense of core values when I was a kid.
Is this the dilemma that we all have to read about, and watch on the news about how someone elses kids are spouting off at the mouth with hate obscenities towards another child. Is this the cause from kids having kids?

MarineGrunt-

Yes, I HAVE read your posts. You have consistently 1) characterized the child as a whiner, 2) the parents as a “mommy and daddy” trying to keep their "poor little baby" from any "hurt feelings", 3) the situation only qualified as bullying and nothing serious, and 4) that the child should have been stronger in handling the situation. Neither of these attitudes are accurate! Objecting to assault and theft is not whining, those actions are far beyond simple bullying, and the child DID try to stand up to the bullies (which ended up with a broken collarbone and other injuries!). Here, let's refresh YOU on several of your comments:

Whining/hurt feelings attitude:
- “Now we have a kid who is crying, not as loud as his BonBon murdering mother, and it makes a news story?” [20 Feb @ 0740]
- “Why is it that all these parents think there special little snowflake is too good to be made fun of?” [20 Feb @ 0740]
- “Crying when anyone's poor little feelers are hurt.” [20 Feb @ 0803]
- “You know who else was coddled as a kid” [20 Feb @ 0803]
- “Please continue to shelter them, make sure they never lose, have great self esteem.” [20 Feb @ 1448]

Bullying is nothing serious, and to be expected attitude:
- “it makes a news story?” [20 Feb @ 0740]
- “Kids are cruel. No other way around it!“ [20 Feb @ 0740]

Child should have been stronger attitude:
- “Again, reach down and grab hold!!!” [20 Feb @ 0740]
- “Or I could raise a child that is weak and stupid that continues this cycle of Stupidity!!!” [20 Feb @ 0803]
- “Don't help the kid out by teaching me how to 'roll with it', make a huge ordeal about it.” [20 Feb @ 0803]
- “Teach your kids some internal fortitude and life skills!!! [20 Feb @ 0803]

What I find interesting is your comments about “Asking folks to stop being so wishy washing and take some responsibility in a rough manner.” [20 Feb @ 1448] and “Please continue to foster a environment of weak willed and 'take no responsibility' in this Country!” [21 Feb @ 0801] Yet why doesn’t that apply to both the students assaulting and stealing from this kid, as well as the school???

Oh, btw, I am a female, and in a wheelchair as the result of my military service, so I doubt I qualify as a “weak-willed nanny”. Your comment about towards me, “coddles and makes sure your little feelers weren't hurt”, is the same as your view on this whole subject. Per your comments, I GUESS A CHILD WHO DOESN’T WANT TO BE ASSAULTED (TO THE DEGREE BONES ARE BROKEN) MUST BE “WEAK”, NOT WANTING TO BE STOLEN FROM INSTEAD NEEDS TO LEARN TO “ROLL WITH IT”, AND NOT WANTING TO BE A TARGET FOR HARASSMENT IS BEING “CODDLED”. Ridiculous!

God, I hope you don’t have kids with that mentality!

btw, you really need to learn the difference between kids being mean kids and true harassment.

Let me give you an example. My 11-yr old son got called "gay", because he'd rather play drums in band, than go play football. He came home in tears. Rather than get all upset and go barging to the school, I understood that kids are mean sometimes, and simply talked to him about the comment being one born of hate and prejudice. However, several weeks later, this same insulting kid (who is three grades above him and about 50 lbs bigger) decided to physically assault my son, along with 2 of his friends. They kicked him from behind in the back (a surprise attack), knocked him to the ground, and proceeded to kick/hit him. They also destroyed his $500 band kit. Now, my son isn't "weak", he's taking karate, but he was both outnumbered and outweighed. Fortunately, unlike the kid in this story, nothing was broken. However, you bet your butt I contacted the school so the parents of these children could be contacted, to force them and the assailants to be held accountable/responsible for their actions. Turns out the troublemaker has assualted other children more than once, and the parents don't care, so we were advised to file a police report. This situation scarcely qualifies as being "weak", "wishy washy", "roll with it", etc. Neither does the situation with the boy in this story.

MarineGrunt- a broken collarbone goes FAR beyond simply being "picked on"... nor does wanting the perpetrators to accept responsibility for it qualify as relying on "mommy and daddy to take care of them".

Let's turn this around. A gang of kids at school start teasing your daughter about being a "baby killer's brat". She tries to ignore them, so they begin to stealing her stuff, including her new $100 cell phone. She tries to take care of it herself, by agreeing to face them. They jump her, several on just one. Despite fighting back, they break her collarbone, give her a black eye, bruises, and hurt her so bad that the medical bills come up to $2,000.

Now, are you honestly going to tell me that you wouldn't be upset? That you wouldn't consider doing something about it? That you would sit there and tell her she needs to not "whine and complain" about this treatment?

Based on what??? The kid tried to ignore them and their taunts, so they escalated to stealing, so he then agreed to face them. Let's see, he showed mature behavior in ignoring them rather than whine about it, and then he attempted to resolve the problem by facing them rather than go crying to momma and papa. It was only after he was beaten up so badly that he and his father complained. How is this WEAK???

I'm more apt to beleive the kids who attended the school who stated that Eric and Dylan were picked upon and ridiculed. My mind is so much stronger than yours. I do not think that the U.S. is so great that we can do whatever we choose to do. This is called a world view. Grunt, please get some education and then come back here. Also please refer to the U.S. constitution, te very thing that you are trying to justify, discrimination, is one of the things that our forefathers wanted to make sure did not exist. Grunt, you're all about sweeping something under the rug because it doesn't directly effect you.

Grunt,

It must be pointed out that the majority of unresolved issues with children have to do with the way a child was raised. That does not include being the victim of a hate crime. Keeping that in mind, realize that neither intelligence or class can be taught. These are gifts that are bestowed upon you by your parents. If you were to take some time and conduct some valuable introspection I believe that you will find htat your parent failed you in these two areas. Intelligence and class very much like clues cannot be bought. I intentionally misspelled somme words in my previous entry to make you feel at home.
