Originally posted by d000hg View PostSlapping on the head hard, or irritating and more humiliating than painful? Not that it's not still bullying but I can't see anyone getting in trouble for an isolated incident of being an idiot. Even detention seems borderline unless they're known troublemakers.
If they are not stopped now and made to feel they don't want to be caught again, there will be no deterrent for others.
In short, she'll get beaten up, either by them, or by ohers who know they won't be punished. And then she'll be a 'victim' and at risk of being screwed up for life.
It was a repeated assult by a gang against a girl and at 17 years old, that is well out of order. I wouldn't have a problem with them being in front of a magistrate.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

It's an easy one on the face of it, take action NOW. either get them expelled or get the polis in.
But having had kids in this situation, it's not as clear cut as that. If it was part of a systematic bullying, she was isolated, suicidal, getting molested or getting distessed, then , yes , intervene.
If its a one off, or her friends rally round, or she deals with it herself, then leave it be, she will come out stronger.
It's natural for parents to think of the worst, but sometimes the kids can suprise, and that is brilliant. so a bit of intell gathering is in order

Tell her to offer shiners all around to appease them..... Though thinking about it, the slapping on the back of the head might not stop.:
