Bullies in Bittersweet

L has been being bullied off an on at school by a neighbor kid.
Yesterday T picked him up from the bus. He rarely does because of the time. Its the end of his work day. Anyway he was in the gas station where the kids  get dropped off and heard/saw them start stuff. So he intervened and the kid lost his shit screaming. In the gas station. 
So we contacted the parents. Who said its he said she said stuff and T said I SAW your kid. And they kinda chilled a bit.

It did get ugly too. The other kid claimed L was the bully and his bestie backed him up and sister too. So yeah now its 3 on 1. Which T saw at the bus. As they screamed come here fatass and crossed the street ( out of their way home) to get to him. They threatened him which was overheard ( more on this later)  T confronted the kid in the store and it did get ugly. T lost his shit, not going to lie... I called him on it repeatedly. He kept trying to turn the fight around on me and im like why do you want to fight ME over this. Im not the bully. Im the realist in this shit. Im not fighting with you. Im done, Im going to the school tomorrow. 
L had finally made a complaint to the school about it and this happened. So with the parents we just want this to stop mess. We went to the school this am.

We talked to the principle.

Im like my kid is not going to be a statistic because no one is acting. We gave him a chance to work on it himself and nothing is changing. Its escalating to threats of violence. We are done. 
We asked for them to be split into two classes. They have one together. Granted. We wanted a no contact contract. Granted, if the other kid talks to L. He gets suspended. That includes on any SM. I asked for all the 8th grade teachers to be aware. and if L sees the kid, He can tell any teacher AND he can be late for class if he needs to avoid him as long as he tells the first teacher he sees who will then escort him to class.  Then the most random one I came up with. They live 3 doors down. Same busses and stop. Well think of our roads like a T. Thy stop at the cross of the T. Then drive down the long edge. WELL on the long edge, They actually drive past our road. Now currently when the kids get off. The assholes walk down one arm, and L walks another way home to avoid them. So now they are going to stop at the gas station. Let the other kis off. Drive down the T on the route and let L off at our road. So he has a 10 minute head start. Now as long as they dont start running after him, he should be far out of their reach by the time they get to our road. Its a half mile walk back. Im also going to drive him to school every day. The school was super accommodating with it all.
So then we leave school and feel pretty good.

An hour later the cops call.

Someone used Safe to tell which is an anonymous app to report violence or self harm threats. because they over heard neighbor kid saying he was going to attack L. Those reports go DIRECTLY to the sheriff and the school. So here come the cops. They interviewed L and the other kid. The legal report is now made of the other kid threatening L. Its going no where right now and thats fine. I dont want it to. I want it to stop.  My kid needs to be safe. Its not a lot. 

L came home in a great mood. They do have to ride the bus home together. Cant get away from that. But we can minimize everything else. Tomorrow is the last day before break. So then he has a nice long break from it all. Im hoping at some point the other kids parents contact and apologize after the police. But i doubt it. It would have been nice. 

But in the end. L seems happier today then he has in a long time. The other kid kept away. Im sure the cops scared him. I hope so. And now we just hope that his pack mentality buddies leave off too. And sister. Because im exhausted.

So yeah, my day was fun. Followed by possible bed bugs at work and buying out the lot of bed bug foggers. Then writing a policy book for the behavioral health entity that we must become in 2025  because we have too many providers employed. My brain. is done. ahahaha.
