My son has been bullied one way or another since grade 1, usually from the same 3 or 4 kids. In 5th grade, he 'snapped' and beat one of the kids over the head with his full lunch bag. A teacher pulled him off and I was called into the principal's office. Mind you, the harassment had gone on for almost 5 years-NOW I get called in. The principal, in politically correct terms, felt Daniel was in the right, but expressed deep concern for his mental wellbeing.
Sixth grade: Daniel and a friend were walking home from school(now middle school) and was ambushed by two kids who knocked him down and kicked and punched him. One of these kids was an elementary school tormenter.
I called the boy's house, told his father 'your son BEAT my kid' and then, with Daniel in the car, went to their house. The father called the boy outside and I reamed his ass for a good 15 minutes-by the time I was done that kid was 6 inches high and cowering. The father didn't say a word. (I'm pretty proud of myself-not ONE curse word). I then went to the second kid's house and reamed HIS ass too, then called his mother.
I then called the school and told the asst. vice principal the whole story, including that there were witnesses and their names. The boys were put into in-school suspension and when the one was asked why, he bragged "I beat Daniel".
Here's the cool part: A boy who was also a classmate/bully in elementary school went up to this twit and told him very matter of factly "If you EVER lay a hand on Daniel again, I will kick your ass".
Take matters into your own hands. The schools do shit. Tell those parents that in no uncertain terms that the harassment will stop. Also instruct your daughter not to totally ignore, but turn around just once and very loudly yell in his face 'LEAVE ME ALONE'. And do it every time he tries anything. It brings witnesses, including teachers. It also empowers her, very very important. Trying to ignore still makes you shake inside, giving the tormenter power they simply don't deserve. I know. I was a victim of bullying all my school life.
