A man has been praised for teaching his son’s bully a ‘lesson he’ll never forget’ after the school refused to step in to help with the situation. He explained how his 14-year-old son is being bullied for his looks – and while the school knows about the issue, they’re apparently not doing anything to put a stop to it.

Frustrated, he decided to step in to stop his son from becoming the ‘school punching bag’. He said on Reddit : “My son has been getting bullied for a week. He’s the tallest kid in his class because of his genetics. When he told me he was getting bullied I didn’t wait, I went to the school so we could fix something. My son is very nice to everyone, he doesn’t bother anyone and is a sweetheart.”

After hearing about what had been happening in class, the dad called a meeting with the school principal and threatened to file a complaint if they refused to put an end to it. He added: “I’m the second parent that does a lot for this school. I have helped decorate parties and help the youth program but that’s enough.

“I did get to talk to the parents of the kid that was bullying my son, their son told my son to off himself so I will be making a complaint. I told them to teach their kid how to treat people because I wasn’t going to let someone bully my son to make him feel bad about himself.

“I don’t think they even discipline their kids because I’ve never seen them at parent conferences, they said they would try to talk to their kid. That’s when a few days later my son told me that one kid was still bullying him, I had enough because the school was not doing anything.”
So, he decided to take matters into his own hands and came up with a plan to ’embarrass’ his son’s bully in front of his peers. He said: “I did have a few words for the boy when I picked my son up after school, I told the boy if he keeps bullying my son then his mom and I will have a problem because he is old enough to know bullying is not okay. Well, his mum and I already have a problem because she didn’t give her son the consequences.

“I could tell he was embarrassed after I said that because he was with his friends and they were joking about it. This kinda showed him what it’s like when someone talks down on you and embarrasses you.” Commenting on his post, one user said: “If the only thing that comes out of this is your kid learning that you have his back, then it was worth it.”

Another user added: “I have zero issues with other parents correcting my kid’s behaviour. Some things are just objectively wrong.” A third user said: “The truth is this, teachers have zero control over bullying. They tell the administrators and it’s up to them. That’s all the power they have.”

(PIX11) — A cell phone video shows a bullied boy taking a whooping from a girl on a school bus before he unexpectedly fights back — and then just as surprisingly performs an act of compassion.
The girl in the video, uploaded Tuesday on YouTube, can be seen pulling a boy’s hair as she punches and slaps him in the face. Off camera, a boy can be heard begging her, “please stop, I want to go home” as she continues to beat on her victim.
The boy tries to cover his face, but the pummeling continues — until he snaps.
It was unclear where and when the incident happened.
“Uh oh,” says one of the passengers as the boy scrambles to his feet to fight back and puts an end to the bullying immediately.
After turning the tables on his shaken attacker he asks her, “You O.K.?”

Parker hurled insults, including telling her that she deserved to die and was a waste of space. He viciously attacked her and slapped her to her face with such force that she fell to the floor.
Parker continued to punch and kick her to her face, head and body, causing swelling and bruising. The door to the house was open and Parker threatened anybody who tried to go in.
“The defendant was threatening anybody who tried to help,” said Mr Shipley. “She eventually managed to get out of the property through the door and out into the street, where she screamed for help. The defendant continued his behaviour on the street while in possession of a knife.”

During police interview, he made no comment to all questions. He had no previous convictions.
The woman later said that she was scared for her life and worried for those of her children. “I do not want Parker anywhere near my property or my children,” she said. “I am truly broken and shocked about the whole situation.”
Ben Hammersley, mitigating, said that Parker suffered injuries in the incident after he was set on by others. “He suffered a fractured eye socket and a fractured cheekbone,” said Mr Hammersley.
Parker was treated by paramedics at the scene and he was taken to hospital. He had been left with a scar near his eye. “When he came to, having been knocked unconscious, he was fearful that he was still being assaulted,” said Mr Hammersley.
It was a one-off assault by Parker on the woman and he acted out of character, it was claimed. “This was an isolated incident,” said Mr Hammersley. “He has no desire to contact her whatsoever.”
Parker had been in custody for just over a month but he had previously been working full-time.
Deputy circuit judge Timothy Clayson told Parker: “You became abusive to her before becoming violent. She described you slapping her, pushing her around and trying to force her out of the door, in the course of which she was caused to fall to the floor.

“The overall offences here are so serious that only immediate custody is appropriate. There was a serious risk of disorder by your production of this knife.”
Parker was jailed for 20 months and he was given a six-year restraining order.
