Bullies

Lets just say that I really despise them.

Today I got a call from my girls elementary school, but since I was in class at the time I wasn't able to answer the call. When I had a break I called the school back (they left no message) and the secretary, after finding out who I was, told me that Taylin had been threatened by someone. This is how the conversation went:

Me: "What happened?? Who threatened her??"

Secretary: "The student is with the principle right now"

Me: "What did the kid say to Taylin?"

Secretary: "Ummm....the student is with the principle right now"

Me: "Can you at least tell me if it was someone that was older than her, or someone in her same class?"

Secretary: "It was a student in her class"

Me: "Is there any way that I am going to be able to get any information from you?"

Secretary: "Well, ummmm, well, the student told your daughter that he was going to light her on fire."

Me: "WHAT???!!!! Is she okay???"

Secretary: "We contacted your husband, so if you need more information then you should talk to him."

Me: I hung up the phone.

Seriously? Why in the world would they not tell a mother what was happening to her child?? I was really, really upset. I called Chad and got the rest of the story. I found out from Taylin when she got home from school that the boy had been suspended for 3 days. But really? My daughter had to tell me? There was no call from the school telling us how things had been resolved. It is amazing how quickly my "momma bear" instincts kicked in as soon as I called the school. And my biggest worry now is, how is Taylin going to feel when this kid is back at school? Is she going to be scared? Will this kid be mad that he got in trouble and take it out on Taylin again? I despise bullies!! And really? "I'm going to light you on fire" ??? Where did this kid come up with that? I wish that I could talk to his parents. All of this just makes me scared for what kind of world my girls are growing up in. My girls are still young, but they are being exposed to some of the uglier things in this world. I hope that this will stop here, because if something happens again, I'm pretty sure that they won't like how involved I will be.
