Bullies...ugh!

I hate a bully.  Hate, hate, hate!  I will admit, I was probably guilty of this as a younger person and I will stop here and openly apologize for it.  As a mother, I see red when my girl comes home talking about being bullied.  She is such a sweet, sensitive child I bristle at the thought of someone treating her badly.  She treats everyone she meets the same way, the way she would want to be treated.  The boy child will likely be able to fend for himself so he's on his own.  But don't eff with my girl.  Call it restitution for my bad doings in my younger years, but my kids know that being an asshole won't be tolerated.  They have been taught to like everyone who wants to be their friend and is nice to them.

The girl child really took this advice to heart and she is known for her precious disposition.  So when I hear of some little boy (who shall be referred to as "asshat") in her class being mean to her, it makes me livid.  And to add to the severity of the situation, asshat is really a gross little kid.  He has been given opportunity after opportunity to be her friend.  That wasn't good enough for him.  He's one of these little mean kids who doesn't want her to have other friends. Sorry punk, you'll have to share. She's fabulous and you can't hog her.

So, the little bully gets the Bitch Slap today.

At first, the bullying started with benign threats like, "I'm not gunna be yer friend if you're friends with so-and-so."  Girl child was advised to tell asshat that she is friends with everyone and if he can't handle that he can kiss her ass (in g-rated language, of course.)  The threats went from benign to a tad more menacing with crap like, "My dog can beat up your dog."  Now he's bringing the dogs into it? Oh, hell no! I have several problems with this. Why is a six year old privy to dog fighting?  Girl child was appalled at the very thought of her dogs fighting.  Of course she was, we would never expose her to anything that would even give her the idea that people fight their dogs on purpose.

She's got her whole life to deal with effed up shit.  While she's in elementary school I'd like to keep her little emotions protected from such atrocities. What the hell is going on over at asshat's house that gives him the idea to bring his dog over for a fight?  I can just imagine his fat ass father sitting on the couch, beer gut hanging out from underneath his too short, stained wife beater, counting the winnings from Bruiser's fights that weekend as his Marlboro red hangs from his dirty face.  No doubt there would be a two inch ash teetering from its end, perilously close to falling.  He will be drinking a bud and belching and farting, of course.  Nice example you're setting for your kid there, Rusty.  I just made that name up, I have no idea what the dude's name is but he's probably a Rusty.  And for the record, my dogs would have kicked the shit out of asshat's dog.

Last night, girl child tells me asshat has been hitting her.  HITTING HER!  I can not express in words, written or verbal, how angry I became.  The very thought of such a ghastly child talking to my sweet girl makes my skin crawl.  Touching her is out of the question.  Hitting her will get you shanked.  Since I'm pretty sure shanking a six year old is frowned upon, I'm at a loss.  I have no idea how to handle the situation.  Shanking seems to be the only reasonable option.  I mean, he hit her.  Totally justifiable, right?  What am I supposed to do?  I've sent notes to her teacher, fat lot of good that did.  I've told her to hit him back to which she replies, "But Mommy, I don't want to get in trouble."  Curse her moral values!  I'm thinking a meeting with his parents is not a good idea.  I highly doubt these people will give a hot shit that their child is acting like a dick.  I've met the mother.  She's not what I would call a very "involved" mom.  The entire 45 minutes of the classroom Christmas party she stood in a corner and complained to all the other parents about her "stupid doctor" who wouldn't refill her Lortab prescription for a pulled muscle.  She's a real winner that one.  And I don't want to meet Rusty, ever.  

How am I to solve this problem?  She won't kick his ass, the teacher isn't helping and the parents are dead beats.  I can't shank the child nor can I break his hyoid bone without going down to the county jail, or worse, having Rusty show up at my house in his wife beater.

  1. take it to the principle. If that doesn't work, have her moved classes. If that fails, you will have to take matters into your own hands and shank asshat.
