Bullies ...

... we don't like 'em much 'round here:

Green said [Tavis, her son] has been bullied all his life and has even been beaten up on occasion. She has talked to school administrators in the past but said nothing has ever been done. "You don't know how it affects the children that you're picking on, mentally, physically and emotionally," said Green

So when she got a call from Tavis on Thursday, stating he had been punched in the face again while on the bus ride home, Green took action. "My immediate reaction was to go get my son," said Green.

Green said she got on the bus and confronted two teenagers who had been bullying him. She was charged with 13 counts of assault and one count of burglary.

Charged with burglary ... because the law allows it.

The bus driver admits to seeing the teen get hit, but apparently did nothing about it. So here's my thinking on the subject.

If my daughter ever tells me that she's been bullied at school (and it's a credible story), I'll first talk to the school administration, letting them know what happens if it ever happens again. And what will happen is The Packetman goes to jail, but Le Petit Poulet won't get bullied again.
