Yesterday I took my goddaughter to the park and while I was there I witness my neighbor son being a park bully. He was taking stuff from kids for no reason. This little boy was bouncing a ball and he decide to take it from him and the boy starting crying. I got up and make him give it back, which he did, but a few minutes later he hit the boy in the head. I got up and told him that was wrong and ask the boy that was hit where was his parents. They were on the othe side of the park so as I was walking him there the boy that hit him yelled at me and said"fu+k you b+i*ch", which made me mad. After I told the mom mother that was hit she got mad and went looking for the boy, who already ran out the park.
On my way home I saw the boy mother and advise her what happen and what he said to me and she denied her son would do that. She basically called me a liar and we got into a little shouting match. Can you believe she would not even ask her child what happen and went into defense mold? I realize no matter what was said she would not do nothing and her son is so bad when she's not around. I'll just keep my distance from them but he going do or something to the wrong person one day. Now she looks at me hatefull.
She did but that the reason we got into a shouting match. She also make me get out of my element because I felt like slapping her but I don't need to be in jail pregnant with twins. The boy mother who son her son hit in the park is looking her and also if she see the boy she might hit him. This cause so much drama, I guess next time I'll mind my business but it' hard being an ex cop.
I don't know if I would do nothing. If you see a kid getting abused, regardless of who is doing the abusing - shouldn't you say something??
I think you did the right thing. It is a shame that the kid's mom reacted that way. Alot of people don't want to hear negative things about their kids.
You don't need to get into a fight with this woman. It isn't worth it. But, I think if you see the actions of this bully on the playground again - you should say something.
I know, as a parent, that if my child was being bullied and an adult was around - I would almost expect them to say something.
Maybe because I would.
I am glad so mothers feel the way I do. I hate to see bullies bully other kids for no reason and then the parent don't care. It's a sad sight. My boyfriends says I need to mind my business but I could not sit back and watch a child hit another for no reason.
I live in an okay middle class area. I am a blunt person and am the president of my child school pta. When my child teacher or any adult tells me about my child behavior I address it right away and never disregard it. All parents are not the same but when their child grows up to be a criminal they ask shock because they turned their head to all their wrong doings as an child. Most of the crimes that happen when I was a cop was from children ages arranging from 11 to 15 and it was a shame to put handcuffs on a 11 year old.
Do you know what school the bully goes to? You might talk to someone at that school about an intervention. A kid like that, other people will know about and the time to nip this anti-social behavior is now.
I am not a parent that turns the other way. If I have ever been told things about my daughter - I listen, thank the person for telling me and then I talk to my daughter and get her side.
You know - you don't have to scream at a kid on the playground. If you were doing that - I may say "mind your own business" - but if you witness something, I see nothing wrong with saying "hey, hitting isn't allowed on this playground. If you can't control yourself, you will have to leave." Or something like that.
The way I look at is if that kid is hitting billy today and I see it and do NOTHING - that kid will be hitting my daughter tomorrow. And if I am not around to defend her - who will?? I did nothing for little Billy - so why should anyone do something for my kid??
I did not scream at him. I simply ask him by did he hit him and his respond was "because he felt like it". I then told him it not right to hit someone for no reason. I then ask the cying boy where was his parents to inform then whad happen and as I was wal away the little boy cursed at me I did become angry by that but continue walking as he ran out the park. The mother was the one that was yelling and I see where he gets it from.

No, but after talking with a few other parents, they stating he is a bad child that goes around bully other kids. One stated, she hopes that one day he get beat up by another child.
I rarely hang out in my neighborhood, due to work, and I always somewhere else. I have seen the boy before just in passing. I just moved to this area at the begining of this month.
