If you knew which bullies drove your child to suicide, how much would you secretly fantasize revenge? How far would you really go?

So I read this recent news blip about a 9-year-old at one school. The bullies there didn't just taunt him or demean him or cyberbully / stalk him. They didn't just physically assault him. They - with the encouragement of the school's sex ed staff - began *sexually* going after him as well.

At first, he'd fight back. But they were relentless. The family mostly stood by and did nothing, while they lurked outside his window, taunting him some more about the things they threatened to do to him (including some very nasty sexual things.)

As time wore on, the boy stopped fighting back, and got very moody. The family again, insisted on the non-violent approach. And just recently, he committed suicide. Now, suddenly, the family is in tears, and is begging "stop the bullying!"

If it were me and my kid, I'd have intervened long before that. I would have chased those kids away with a tennis racket, then notified their parents about the sexually explicit threats. I would've said: "Straighten out your brat, so the cops don't have to. Because if your little pervert needs to be Beyond Scared Straight, I won't hesitate!"

And if that didn't work, I'd start picking up the trespassers and threatening to break them over my knee. If *even that* weren't enough... what's it gonna take? Conan the Frickin' Barbarian ripping their skulls out? The return of William Wallace, Mel Gibson version, Bravehearting their asses to death? A military-grade vaporizer cannon?

At some point, I'd be teaching them just how unfunny their practice really is. I say, any brat *that* obsessed with trying to drive another child to suicide, is a bit suicidal himself.

In my wildest fantasies, there's a stick with a long nail in it, being swung - after they're hit with Greek fire and *still* don't get the message! Yeah, I was traumatized as a child, and may have some anger issues. If I had kids, nobody would ever f* with them.
