I'm sad to see the bully calls, but glad parents are taking it serious enough to call it in.

I don't know the details on that one, but I'd agree. Kids really do need to understand it's not okay to harass each other. Of course, same goes for adults!

lol, the kids learn it somewhere. Adults don't even realize they are doing it sometimes. Something as innocent as a joke about a person in the media can give the wrong impression to a kid. Parents calling people fat, or ugly, thinking it's harmless, and all the kids see is them judging people they don't know, and thinking it's ok. I wish the schools would work in the early years to help parents avoid this.

It is harmless, what happened to sticks and stones will break my bones but words can never hurt me?? Kids these days are being taught to cry and run away from their problems, not face them, that's the real problem. The schools teaching kids what they do about bullying doesn't help, it makes kids think that if they have a problem they can't fix it themselves. What happens when all these kids that are superdependent on other people grow up? We will have a community full of people who won't know how to do anything for themselves. Scary.

Its a different world now. When I grew up, the worst thing that happened might be a split lip or bloody nose from a fight after school. Now you have kids bringing guns in and pipe bombs. Back in my youth, the bullying was kept at school. You would just head home and get away from it. Now kids are bombarded by bullies even at home via internet harrassment and text messages.

I think it's all a matter of degree I guess. In my brief time as a teacher, I reported several kids to the assistant principal after witnessing things. It's not that kids can't take care of it, but with some things, they shouldn't be the only ones out there defending themselves. They need to know they're safe, basically. I'm talking generally here. I don't know the particulars of every item on the police log, including this one...
