House Cat, I am not a parent, but I want to applaud your efforts to keep your son safe from bullies. I myself was bullied as a child and teenager, and I still have emotional scars from this experience. Some things you can get over as you get older, but I still cringe and want to cry when thinking of some of things I was told as a child/teen. It's very harmful and even potentially dangerous to just let kids work out their bullying issues on their own--I never really told my parents about the hassling I received, and I doubt they could have done much (I was in school in the 80s and 90s, so the attitudes about bullying were different), but maybe having their support would have helped. Just wanted to put that out there. You go, momma!
