How many times did the mother of the bullied child try to get the admin at the school to stop the bullying?

How many times did the admin at the school ignore the mother because the bully was special in some way?

I am the grandmother of a boy that was bullied at a Christian School, the principal was a good man with no backbone.
When I picked up my grandson with a red swollen face, the bully had thrown a soccer ball hard as he could, I would have loved to throw that kid down and beat the tar out of him. Some how I managed to stay in my car and drive away. I have regretted it since.
Right now I get so angry thinking about it. My grandson would not tell his dad so it just got worse.
When my son did find out, it was stopped so far as we know.
That was my grandsons last year in that school.
I will defend to the end any parent or family member that fights back.
Everywhere we look there is an insecure bully.

My thoughts exactly. Too often any type of wrongdoing by one child becomes a general punishment for everyone; i.e., Little Joey left his lunch trash all over the table and floor, so the whole class is prevented from having recess while they discuss "appropriate lunchroom behavior." I haven't personally dealt with any bullying situations, thank God, but I know parents who have, and from what I've heard the school will always take the path of least resistance (usually the well-behaved child with decent parents who don't want to "make waves" pay the price). I feel forwarned.

if the mother made a reasonable attempt to get the school administration to stop the bullying and got no help, then a felony charge should be met by jury nullification.
