Reply #2: There was bullying in my son's scout troop

[tblue]

and one perpetrator was sentenced to 120 hours of community service, a suspension, a written report, plus some other punishments. He had kicked a smaller kid while he was lying on the ground. The bully was unrepentant and that's why he got such a stiff punishment, but he's doing his penance and wants to earn his way back into the troop.

I'm very, very sorry that happened to you. I was bullied in 5th grade. It's scary and it's deadly serious. I was really glad my son's troop masters took the bullying very seriously. I hope the book is thrown at anyone who bully others, especially people like these autistic children, who are vulnerable. It's very worrisome and there should be zero tolerance for it in all cases.
