Well, I never thought I would be posting in here, but I am.

I answered the door this afternoon to find a concerned and rather angry mother with her son, who is in yr 4 at my sons school.

Apparently, this poor boy is being harrassed by my child as he walks home from school on an almost daily basis, and this has been going on for a few weeks!
This little boy says that my son has been 'pulling him back' by grabbing his school bag, and taunting him and once even said he was 'going to punch him'.
I called my son to the door and confronted him with this, and he did not deny it, but in fact, when asked 'why' he did these things, he said he 'didn't know'. My son is in yr 6, almost 12yrs old, and should know better.

I am 4wks off delivering our second child and I was so distraught at this revelation about my child, that I burst into tears. I made my son aplogise to this little boy, and I apologised to his Mother, although 'sorry' just doesn't cut it as far as I am concerned.
I told this little boy to make sure he lets me know if it happens again because it is disgusting and it should not be happening.

My son really should know better, he was bullied for 2 whole years at a previous school and it was almost detrimental to his mental stability. I never thought that my child was perfect, but I also thought that I had raised him better than to be a bully.
When I spoke to him about it, he said that he threatened to punch the boy jokingly and he never would have done it, but that's beside the point! How did this little boy know that?

I am just at a loss at what to say to my son, I am so disappointed in him. What did I do wrong to make him do this to another human being? I have grounded him and told him that I am so disappointed and he is going to have to earn my trust in him back.
He has been crying in his room, but I don't know whether this is because he got caught or because he is truly sorry. It sure didn't sound heartfelt when he apologised.

I don't know whether to write to my sons teacher, and make him do some 'school community service' type thing with this little boy perhaps? I also want him to write a letter to the boy and his Mother to strongly put across how much he understands what he has done.

I just don't know what to do. Im so emotional right now.

I never thought I would be one, but I am. I am the Mother of A Bully.
