A: as a parent, we all want to protect our kids from Bully

the first thing is to try to deal with the school, or school board.

i assume he was told drop your pants or we will beat you up?

write out a detailed summary and send to the principal requesting a response within

1 week or you "will pursue all your civil, and or criminal, remedies at your disposal.

you can always sue for damages in small claims.

if you have the assets, retain a lawyer on an hourly to contact the school for you.
