So, her mom hired two 9-or-10-year-old kids in another area of the city, and drove them to her neighborhood (which is essentially kidnapping) to beat up a child for money? What a psycho, if this is even true.

I was raised "violence doesn't solve anything/don't use hurtful words" and I was bullied through to year 10. Teach your kids to fight back, take them to martial arts classes, and tell them not to start fights, but that you will always support them if they finish one.

I am not a grammar nazi in any way, but holy s**t that was hard to read!

I assure all of you, that is NOT how Italians deal with things. I stopped reading after that sentence.

This reminds me of the movie The War with Eliah Wood and Kevin Costner, when he gave the kids that bullied a couple of sugar cotton and when Eliah asked him why he did that Costner answered 'cause it looks like nobody's done something nice to them in a while'

they tried to do the right by calling CPS. OP is still being bullied and harmed. mum did the only other thing she could think of to protect her kid. i support that. sorry the bully had a hard home life, but you have to do something to protect your own kid.

Growing up in the foster care system, I was bullied from first through ninth grade. Some of the things that were done to me are unmentionable. Except for sending me home "for my own good," no one (teachers, legal guardians, faculty) did anything about it. Not. One. Damned. Thing. It wasn't until I left the system at age 15 (and that shìtty town with its equally shìtty schools) that things took a turn for the best. When my dad regained custody of three of his four kids, it was understood that you didn't mess with his kids. By that time, I realized that sometimes you have to defend yourself by any means possible. No one bullied me ever again.

My stepdad told me if somebody was coming at me to shove my book bag into their stomach and then punch them in the throat. The bag to the stomach throws them off balance, and the throat punch causes them to not breathe so good. It's hard to fight if you're unbalanced and out of breath/choaking.

The neighborhood capo...what is that?

Nothing nice happens in this story. My only question is, does one punch amount to bullying?

I dont buy this based on the simple fact that most people in bad neighborhoods tend to get pissed and offended when offered trifles for acts of violence. Friggin rude.

This entire story is so fake. Yeah, right, a mom hired kids to beat up another kid and everyone is proud of her? I find it horrendous and it teaches the kids to use violence to solve their problems.
