Five year-olds say the darnedest things. On this basis I would have to get a restraining order for my 10 year old daughter from her 5 year-old brother.

Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) would probably be get one from Susie's dad:

I see this as a fighting fire with fire situation.

The school is legally in loco parentis.
The school says it can't discipline.
The school says it is helpless when it comes to controlling children.
The school will call the police and get the courts involved over the most trivial of situations.

So, this father just followed their example. He got the courts involved over this situation.

If a 5 year old is saying stuff like ‘I want to slit your throat and watch you bleed’ then the problem is not the kid or the school but this kids parents unless this kid is some kind of mini psychopath.

Memo to the dumbass Dems. If a 5 year old actually said the words, “I want to slit your throat and watch you bleed”, that is not “bullying”. IMHO.

If the State forces 5-year old girls to go to indoctrination camps, these girls should at least be free from terror by other inmates.

When my eldest daughter was in middle school she befell a bully. She was reluctant to even tell me about it because she knew how protective I was and guessed at how I would react.

Things got worse (as that sort of problem usually does) and she finally came to me and let me know about the situation, asking that she be allowed to deal with it (I guess using the insipid rules of non-violent negotiation she had been exposed to at school). I was concerned but agreed - as long as she notified the school of the issue. She did so and it was no surprise that they told her that she just needed to “grow a thicker skin”.

A week or so later she called me at work and told me that he had slammed her against a wall and groped her. I made the 30 minute trip in about 12 minutes and left my car on the sidewalk outside the office. When I demanded to see the principal the drone tried to put me off claiming that I would need to make an appointment. When I marched into the principals office anyway she threatened to call the cops.

“Excellent idea” I replied. “Then when I get finished swearing out a complaint against the little F’r that touched my kid I can swear out a complaint against you at the same time”

She then asked what my complaint was about and I gave her the overview. She tried to give me that “kids will be kids” crap topped with a “it takes two to tango” BS.

I said, “I will give you one opportunity to pull your head out of your liberal politically-correct ass and do the right thing. If you fail to act or protect my daughter then I WILL RESOLVE THIS! And I guarantee right now that you will not like the results!”

It turned out that the bully was (big surprise) a repeat offender and a major PITA for the district. Any attempt at discipline was met with strenuous objections by a politically connected mother. My response was that I didn’t care about what their problems were but that either they fix it or I would.

They expelled him and moved him to another school, thereby kicking the can down the road.

Six months later I moved from the district.

Years ago, you could call the other parent and expect a reasonable response, and that they would take care of the situation at home. In today’s world, I’m on the side of the dad here.

Kids gotta be Amish, that’s why the school didn’t act.

I had a bully. Peter, his name was.

I went hog-ass wild on him one day, just hitting and hitting and never letting up. I was a machine with no off switch.

From then on, he cowered and slunk away from ME. I expect today he would have called ME the bully. LOL

“’There’s always two sides to every story,’ Kenosha Unified School District spokeswoman Tanya Ruder said.”

She’s with the School District and her grammar is atrocious. For TWO (plural) sides of a story, it should be “There are”, not “There’s” (there is). Lovely to know that schools are being represented by an idiot.
