An Orlando-area mom reportedly angry that her child was being bullied took matters into her own hands on Tuesday —and was arrested for her trouble.

Leslie Ann Thomas, 31, charged into Lockhart Middle School on Doctor Love Road about 9:16 a.m., according to an arrest report.

Doctor Love must be incensed that his name was associated with this fight.

I would suggest threatening lawsuits instead of trying to confront the bully. Threaten to file a lawsuit against the school and the parents of the bully. Nothing gets people ready to take action, more than lawsuits.

BTW, I think the news said it was anti-bullying week. lol

Yeah, I believe you're right.

If the victim's mom looks like this, I hate to think what the bully's mom looks like.

Many years ago I wanted to beat down my neighbor kids, but new better. One day, I met their father at the fence, throttled and hit him. Then told him what else I’d do if he didn’t get his kids under control. It worked.

She probably confused the lunch room with McDonalds.

Now, let me start by saying this couldn’t happen to our kids because we home school. But, if I were out of town an anyone was bullying one of mine, I would EXPECT my wife to deal with it. What she did was, to my way of thinking, right.

I understand the sentiment, but “handling” the problem isn’t supposed to make it worse....

No, it is not and should not if handled right. Now, I must be honest, I have never had one of my kids bullied, but I did have a guy try to bully my wife once. I assure you, he will never try again. My speaking to him ended it once and for all. I would have to say, after careful consideration, that I would do no less for one of my kids.
