I am not a mom but my FI and I have discussed this at length in light of recent news events. Heck yes my kid can hit the bully back and I hope they hit them really hard so no one will ever mess with them again. My kids, as soon as they can walk, will be enrolled in martial arts in order to empower them and hopefully make it so they aren''t even a target. However with all the bullying I have read about in the news lately, I have ZERO faith in the system of telling adults and thinking they will intervene. My child is on his or her own. For the record, I have never hit someone nor been bullied myself, but my FI claims I was sheltered in private school and I used to be like well I would tell my child to not hit back and tell an adult, but now I have done a 180 since I have also heard stories of teachers being as bad as the student bullies.
