If you report it, it will be a net positive.

kansascougar

YSMACK

Jun 27, 11:34am

It's unfortunate, but these aren't 10 year-old kids. They are borderline adults

Belboz

Jun 27, 11:37am

I agree. But are they willing to make this kid's life worse to help others?

Chester Copperpot

Jun 27, 11:39am

That is a fair consideration.

YSMACK

Jun 27, 11:39am

This is the issue for me - I'm not sacrificing my kid to help some other kids

You're already sacrificing your kid by the approach you advocate.

The word for this is "cowardice."

I appreciate the different opinions and thoughts

BYU Fan

Jun 27, 1:26pm

Think of other kids who might be getting much much worse treatment. Why wouldn’t you try to stop sexual abuse?

Jun 27, 6:23pm

The nephew will be hurt by staying on the team, because bullies won't stop

NYC and Japan

Jun 27, 2:51pm

All because nobody said anything the previous times they did this too.

That is a myopic view. Let’s help my kid through this by being quiet?

Is my child helped more by reporting the bullies?

This is based on lack of trust in the process. As for me, I can’t stand aside

Are you speaking from experience or conjecture?

It may be because I’m a mandatory reporter (as a licensed pediatrician) but I would consider someone who didn’t report

In addition to reporting it, document names of others this was happening to as well as those perpetrating it.
