Alright, to avoid people thinking I would let my own kids hurt each other, my son lives with my wife and I. he is our son, not somebody else's. He goes into the yard to play. We live in an apartment complex and the neighboring kids bully him. They make fun of him for being white. They hit him, kick him, push him, hit him with sticks and throw things at them. It is 3 to 4 children all about 8 years old. I want it to stop. I have spoken to their parents but there has been no change in their behaviour.
It may be worth noting that at our last home there was a bully who ended up hitting my son in teh face with a stick. The resulting injury required stitches on his face and he almost lost an eye. I am not willing to let that happen again. I'd like to stop the bullying before injury results. The idea is to prevent an injury before it happens not to react to an injury.
