What advice did you give your son btw? Is this the first time it happened to him? Im with expatgirl: call the parents if it happens again.
I would let the school know about it. Most svchools have a zero tolerance rule now.
as far as the girl goes, i told him to sit AWAY from her. Which he did. I told him the only thing he can do is just to tell the driver. And to sit with 2 of his older friends. One of them took real good care of him last year (like the mean boy did) so he's been sitting with HIM in the morning, but he doesn't ride home..... so I told him to sit with another boy on the way home.
He knows better than to fight back. It's always the kid who hits back who gets caught & gets in trouble... and fighting is NOT the answer.
I told him I will pick him up today & tomorrow and then tuesday he can start riding again. And if it DOES happen again I'll be going down and talking to his parents.
I really don't want to talk to the school about it quite yet. Don't know why but I'm hoping the problem will resolve itself.

What do you think would be the appropriate action to take? Should I go down to the boys house and talk to his parent? By the way, the boys were about 12&13 yrs old.
Go to the school?
Do nothing and just pick him up from school??
I dont want to cause more problems for him like "oh your mommy had to come to school" or anything like that.....

Oh yes I would do something about this 12 and 13 they are double his age that is crazy to pick on a 6 year old and they are only doing this because they know that they can run over him go talk to the principle and to the bus driver as well. Gosh this would make me want to go knock some heads off but don't do that. Do you have a older son? That could go tell them bullies that this better not happen again or maybe a cousin?
I am so sorry that this is happening to your son and I hope that you can get it stopped.
Let us know what happens.
Ya know - that's exactly what I said yesterday. Makes me wanna go beat up kids.....
There's really no one around here that he knows. And I honestly just DONT get it. It's gotta be this new kid because the other one was SO nice to him last year. I'm wondering if the little girl that was pulling his hair, and this other boy.... am wondering if they're brother & sister!
