Guest guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I don’t mind the rant scoli sista…I appreciate it ….Sort of gives me the pep talk needed to pursue this to the fullest.THANK YOU.HRH From: infantile scoliosis treatment [mailto:infantile scoliosis treatment ] On Behalf Of ShaunaSent: Sunday, October 30, 2011 12:26 PMinfantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Re: fuming MAD!!! I can only imagine that allowing this kind of bullying to happen without seeking proper resolution including admission that it should never have happened and won't happen again will only lead to more bullying. And it may not always be Liv, it may be many other young students. But the message being sent to the group of girls involved with putting in so much effort to ensure that she was tripped, and contrary to the 504, the tripper very definitely meant to hurt her I am sure, knew who she was and that extra care may be warranted for her physically. I was a victim at age 5 of bullying in a school that just didn't care -- it was a thing. Some of the 5th and 6th graders beat as hard as they could as many grade one kids as they could before all the grade one kids where either unconscious on the school ground or gone. Every single day. Lip service was all the school gave. This was back in the days where you had to send your child to the district school, no getting around it, no ands ifs or buts. It took a lot of doctors reports before my parents where allowed to put me in another school and I missed a lot of school. And obviously the neighborhood my parents had unwittingly purchased their house in was a very bad one.My point is, if bullying is allowed unchallenged it can turn into a kind of bullying wildfire -- even a " tradition. " Is this really what the school wants to be known for?yes, it might be hard for everyone, including you to get on top of it and make sure that everyone understands that this is not acceptable, will not be tolerated and there can be serious consequences to everyone involved. Sorry for the rant. Anyone who feels their child should be allowed to get away with the odd act of bullying because it was simply a case of they did not think is unacceptable. In this case, yes this person did -- they thought so hard that when the missed tripping her they reached up and pulled her to the ground. I should hope that one day the girl who did this will look back and be thankful that someone took the time to point out that we can't treat others this way. Not even for our own amusement. If she is interested in that kind of behavior maybe she should have stayed at home and played violent video games of watched some violence on TV. To actually inflict pain on another is unacceptable, and she should find her outlets if that is the kind of person she is elsewhere.Hope you don't mind the rant!Hope it goes well and is soon dealt with quickly and discreetly.Shaunamother of Kelsey, Kieran, and >> Yesterday Liv attended a Halloween dance at school.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi , I don't have a lot of advice, just wanted to share that I hate that you and Liv have to deal with this whole situation. Praying for a speedy recovery for your girl and good decisions from Mom.Sent from my iPhoneOn Nov 1, 2011, at 4:29 PM, " Hyatt" <heather@...> wrote: I don’t mind the rant scoli sista…I appreciate it ….Sort of gives me the pep talk needed to pursue this to the fullest.THANK YOU.HRH From: infantile scoliosis treatment [mailto:infantile scoliosis treatment ] On Behalf Of ShaunaSent: Sunday, October 30, 2011 12:26 PMinfantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Re: fuming MAD!!!
