When my daughter was 12 she had a boy threatening her if she wouldn't be his girlfriend and I was at the school demanding a conference with the boy's parents and told the boy's father he would have a sexual abuse case on his record if the father didn't stop the boy from bothering her. I told them all, principle, parents and teachers, I'll have the cops and newspaper at their door if they allowed this boy to continue intimidating my daughter... So where was the mother of the girl?

That teachers long and sharp nails left my daughters arm bleeding and it was scarred for years. My daughter was in Kindergarten at that time and I ran to her, pushed the teacher away and told her to never even look at my child again. I immediately went to the school office and filed a complaint, they asked if I wanted the cops called, I said yes as my Kindergartener had been assaulted by an adult teacher, was bleeding, scared and crying. The cops never showed up. I had to go in to the police office and press charges against that teacher. Nothing was ever done to that horrible teacher! Last I knew she was still allowed to teach! That traumatized my child for years, and even into High School, she was afraid of teachers, so it seriously damaged her mentally, emotionally and physically as well as due to that assault, my child was always afraid of teachers then on.

I agree - the original bully should be the only one punished. I would like to see the drawing in we question. I was bullied: when I was eleven years old my family moved to a new neighborhood. There was a family of bullies nearby & I was called names. I did make friends with other kids, but the bullies got other kids to chime in & I felt pretty miserable in the new school. Finally, when I was 13 one of the bullies slugged me in the face. This was the best thing to happen, because it forced me to fight. I ended up with a black eye, but won the fight. I heard from a friend that the bully was at the neighbor park the following night & warned people about me, that I might get pissed off & kill someone. Anyway, I was always tall & strong for my age & should not have taken crap in the first place. I guess I was just eleven & wanted to make friends in the new neighborhood. The bully I fought ended up playing college football & told me he had an offer to play professional football, but didn't think it was worth it. Maybe football players didn't get paid as well in the late 1970's? I heard that he died, EMS was called but he was too large to get on the gurney & died. Anyway, that's my story. I would like to add that the new school principal did not want me back for eight grade. The English teacher acted like a woman & was obviously homosexual, one of the other kids would turn around & look at me laughing- I would then start laughing & the whole class would start laughing. The teacher would then send me to the principal's office for disturbing the class. My parents told me years later that the gym teacher stuck up for me. I wonder if the principle was homosexual too? I have read that many school teachers are traditional homosexual. I think this is relevant to what's going on today with the school boards.

​@@chamberizer more often than not the bullying goes both ways. The drawing could be considered bullying even if it was as a response to the behaviour of the "original" bully. Sometimes kids make up stuff to avoid punishment of some shit . It is often hard to get to the bottom of the bullying at school, kids are still learning social skills. I have a hard time imagine that a kids drawing would warrant an arrest - disturbing sure - discussion and perhaps discipline., but getting the police involved was sheer incompetence and definitely an overkill.

[@leanngoodall7602]

I just looked up this case. The 10:year old girl was the only black child involved in the drawing and was disabled (ADHD). " Despite the city attorney pushing hard for the dismissal of individual HPD defendants in a December hearing, insisting that the officers were acting under risk of terroristic threatening, Judge Gillmor refused to dismiss the police officers from the suit, confirms that there was no probable cause for the child’s warrantless arrest while also dismissing the officers request for qualified immunity, writing that “the drawing is a simplistic cartoon-style picture by elementary age students”, and officers should reasonably not have considered the artwork terroristic." Really? The drawing of a ten year old was "terroistic threatening" but you didn't actually charge her- but released her without charges after four hours of questioning - without a guardian, parent or lawyer present?

@@david77james You are what you want to be. If you just want to be someone who is small, weak and only surviving, that is all you will achieve. Unless you aim for far more, you will never get more than that. Aiming just to survive is what brings you to a state where you own nothing and are 'happy' about it - after all, you have at that point succeeded in what you aimed for, which is just surviving. Anyhow, on a more positive note, if ever you wish for more, don't bother trying to change the world, but instead focus on changing yourself, becoming greater than the challenges we face. There is an immense amount of great stuff you can do to develop yourself mentally, physically and spiritually, but you need to go out of the box to really win with any of that - something practically no one is willing to do. Once you master yourself, you master the world around you (I am not fully there yet, but the more I progress the clearer this becomes). Anger works poorly when you turn it against others, but it works wonders when you turn it against yourself: ask yourself why you (and your children) are still being so victimized - what can you do to better adapt. Anger at yourself will push you to go out of your comfort zone and make the effort needed to make difficult changes that target the root of the problem rather than the surface / short term easy fixes. In any case, if your life is full of suffering and getting worse, this tells you that you are on the wrong path in life and that YOU need to change and better adapt. The suffering will only increase so long as you are on the wrong path. If you see your life getting better and better, then you know you are doing something right - keep thinking about this and the world will give you the tools you need to change yourself.

Brings back a bad memory: 1964, 8th grade. I was bored in class, so I was sitting there amusing myself by drawing a monster. I probably had a smile on my face because I liked drawing them as silly as possible - lots of eyes, warts, the works. Suddenly Sandra asked me if the drawing was of her. I was so shocked that she would think such a thing that I just stared, speechless at her. I had always been nice to the girl. Why would she even think such a thing. Next day I was called into the guidance counselor’s office. I did not even know why until the woman started lecturing me about my cruelty. The irony of it all was this. This same woman had been my geography teacher only a year earlier. She had allowed the kids in that class to laugh at my speech and southern accent throughout every oral report all that year. Finally one day she had given a little speech about the lack of industry in the south. She explained this by saying that the closer you get to the equator with its warmer climate, the slower the intelligence. The whole class turned around in their seats, looking at me in the back row and laughing. And she had the nerve to give me a ten minute lecture about cruelty. My only regret is that I never did tell Sandra that I would never have treated her that way. I was too outraged about the whole ordeal.

In middle school I was obsessed with dragons and Dante’s the inferno. I drew Chiron as a dragon with “abandon all hope ye who enter here” in a banner above it. One of my bullies took my sketch book, found the sketch, told the teacher, and I was sent to the office. My mom was called and I was threatened with being expelled due to the “danger’ I posed to the class and the student who stole my sketch book due to the depiction of “hell” and “demons” (this was not a Christian school). I had made the choice to give up art all together as I kept having to hid my art book or risk it being stolen and defaced. But when my mama showed up all hell broke lose. Her argument was that it was my property and a good drawing and no one should have seen it without my say. She then threatened to take me out of that school and press charges for unjust expulsion when I was the one who was wronged. No one was depicted in the drawing and it’s just a mythical creature in a mythical setting and no one is being threatened by the drawing other then one student who found it “scary”. She then said I will be taking the rest of the week off school, she took me for ice cream, bought me a new book and video game, and she is the only reason I still do art today. That day was the first day I saw my mom so angry that she didn’t even have to curse or yell. everyone in that office shook before her might. I realized at that moment my mom was a total badass and I gained a whole new level of respect for her. 20 odd years later, and that old battle axe is still a badass and still encourages me to make art. I hope the little girl in this situation doesn’t give up on doing what she likes just because of some Karen and her bratty crotch spawn.

I learned how to defend myself without laying hands on the attacker luckily. My worst memory was when another student in high school yelled in the middle of the cafeteria yelled that I had a firearm. Despite clearly being false and even other students came to my aid (this was a first, at least the others knew where the line was) the person who yelled it got off free. It took my parents threatening to sue the school before they punished the person. He got one week of in school suspension. According to the school’s handbook, that guy should have been expelled on the spot and reported to the police for his offense.

I've quoted part of the article for you here but note that drawing a gun and severed head with a threat probably does constitute a call to HPD (the article is in the Honolulu Civil Beat Newspaper) But Vanic made clear HPD has a different perspective on the incident. “To be clear, the ‘drawing’ was a graphic drawing of a girl holding and pointing a gun with a severed head at her feet,” Vanic said. “Your client also wrote a clear message addressed to two classmates by name, using foul language: ‘Stand down B**ch! Yo F**kin days are over NOW’ and ‘Fake to me And DED.'” Vanic also said that it was “extremely misleading” for the attorneys to characterize the drawing as an “offensive sketch of a student.” “A threat to shoot and kill another student is, and must be considered to be, ‘a threat of significant harm to someone,’ which you acknowledge is something officers could arrest a student for on school property,” Vanic said. “Thus, the arrest of your client on school property is consistent with your own assessment of the situation.”
