What would you do if your son was jumped?

[RickPen]

I was accused of being gay after a male principal molested me four times, and I was told that I deserved it by the other students. I wasn't a popular kid, and was routinely kicked and beaten, often daily, by groups of other school kids. The faculty would not stop them, and agreed that I deserved whatever I received.

I learned how to fight, and returned such favors by mercilessly beating people, breaking bones, knocking teeth out. I crushed in one kid's cheek/eye with a particularly solid punch. Lawsuits couldn't happen because we were too poor to afford food, let alone anything else, so I was stuck with taking matters in my own hands. This scenario went on for years. People finally left me alone when I nearly cut a kid's arm off. They were not particularly bright, and would occasionally try something in later years, or at least threaten me. It's just another reason I moved away.

Take him to some sort of combat sport (boxing, kick boxing, muay thai, MMA) so he can take the fight back.

Reminds me of a story my mum told me about one of her gay friends, he was openly gay in the north of england in the 60s and 70s (which wasn't good) he got jumped a few times but always kicked the ever lasting shit out of anyone who messed with min. Actually got a reputation for being a hard man.

by the way don't take him to tae kwon do or karate or something like that it needs to be a place where they spare and he gets punched bc that's the only way he will learn how to fight. Also i usually suggest BJJ for self defense but if he's fighting multiple people better to have something that involves punching

I wouldn’t put anything on the internet that might incriminate me. I’m tiny and not a fighter, but the thought that someone would hurt a twelve year old makes me so angry that I think I would do whatever it took to make sure they don’t hurt him again. Ever.

Get him into a martial arts class so he can learn to defend himself.

1. I'd call the school.
2. I'd call the other parents and demand a sit down.
3. If they won't sit down, then call the police.
4. Enroll your son in boxing or marital arts classes specializing in self defense.

Ummm. Wtf how is your 12 year old son gay? What 12 year old understands sexuality at that age. Omg some needs to rethink their parenting.. number 2 and most important... press charges for assault and hate crime. We can't let that shit go and those parents will be forced to teach there kids better.

If somebody will beat my kid i will fucking kill them whit cold blood.
I will not be afraid to go in jail for such a thing like violents against my kid. But because he is gay i will refuse to see him in jail. I will talk just indirectly only whit his mother what i whan from him.
-good education
-sport
-job
- and stop been gay and make a girlfriend if he want to see me ever again

First of all, sue them. That was a terrible display of aggression. Also, reassure him a lot and comfort him that everything will be OK, that he means so much to you, and that later in life he won't have to deal with all that drama, that it's something temporary, and kids are stupid. If need be, go talk to the teachers at school and see if you can get them to do something about it. It's a delicate situation, and bullying is so hard on kids

[kespethdude]

Find a lawyer, and press charges to the max. Both the bullies AND their parents will end up in prison for the rest of their lives. If I had a kid, my kid comes first ALWAYS.

[venomhbk1313]

I would go find the people who did it and I would stand guard and I'd let my son face them all one-on-one like we used to do in the old days but back in my day it was more than two or three people my dad would keep the others at Bay while I've faced the others one-on-one but the old-fashioned way I did things was take a Louisville slugger across the face to one of them that's what I did of course now you cannot do that

[LifeEqualsLove]

Definitely go down to the school and talk to whoever was on duty when this happened. But also check on his mental health and see how’s he’s doing

[purplepoppy]

I don't kill kids so I'd have to destroy his parents instead

[AmeerX]

Gay is wrong and so is beating. I might need to kick the boys assq

[Anonymous]

Well he doesn't need balls anyway, sooner or later he has tostand up for himself, if he can't then he chose his own fate

[MannMitAntworten]

Find those boys. Give them shovels
to bury the evidence with.

The end result would probably be me in jail.

[Agape93]

Teach him how to fight

[asshole_]

[Jmmmfi4]

Call the police
