The morning show on KLBJ has a similar bullying story on this morning.

The disorderly behavior of the boys included throwing bags, running fast down hallways and shouting around July last year, but calmed down by about November after the school allocated more teachers to deal with them, he said.
Well hell, man, just think!
The boys were running down hallways last July !!!!!!!!!
How much more egregious can you get?
Clearly, it is now March, so we worry that the Princess might still be affected and could only attend a half day today -—— oh the horror of it all.
*** I feel sorry for the mother and the daughter, but we, outside, can do nothing.
BTW, no Imperial Family full list has ever been published. There are many.

What’d the boys do, turn the teacup in the wrong direction during the tea ceremony?

The parents should take their duaghter on vacation, overseas, and mingle with some regular folks and kids for a while.
Prince William and Harry are good examples of getting out of the palace and becoming regular guys, to the extent royalty can.

I went to school with Prince Charles for a while. Some of what was done to him could have been called bullying, but he handled it well and earned people’s respect by the way he did it.
I actually despise genuine bullying and as a teacher I come down on it like a tonne of bricks - but so much gets called bullying in modern schools that really isn’t.

My daughter attended a Japanese nursery school and had a similar problem with one of the boys. It ended when she gave him a bloody nose. Her nickname after that became Kinniku Lady.

His sons have certainly grown up to be regular guys.
I can't imagine anyone daring to truly "bully" the princess, especially in Japan where every student must know who she is. "Rowdy" behaviour by 8 year old boys... oh, the HugeManatee for the uber stuffy Imperial Household Agency.

William was a bully when he was young. But he was disciplined where appropriate and taught respect where needed, and he grew out of it, and became a fine young man.
That’s what it takes.

LOL. For those who don't know, there's a well-known comic book character in Japan called Kinnikuman ("Muscleman"), who is a sort of wrestler/strongman type superhero. The name comes from kinniku (筋肉), which means "muscle", hence the humor in calling a little girl "muscle lady".

When my daughter was being bullied and jumped from behind by 7 and 8 yr old boys... I enrolled her in Judo class. All it took was throwing them to the ground once. Of course the teachers put HER on the yellow line during recess! I told her if she had to stand on that line every day, no matter, she had to defend herself.

Wait till the guys with the big-ass (Japanese) “right wing” sound trucks get ahold of the business addresses of the parents of any young kids pushing Aiko-chama around. Yikes!

Oh God! How I hate those stupid 右翼 bastards. Its about Spring, so they"ll be hitting roads again very soon. I've always been amazed that there are no laws against 200db mobile PA systems. If anyone knows how that BS skirts any laws regarding disturbing the peace, please let me know.

The Crown Prince should do what my dad did when I got pushed around as a youngster in Yokohama. Take the kid to Judo school.
To: lefty-lie-spy
As everyone knows, there are laws for EVERYTHING in Japan. (or rather against everything, I should say). The issue is whether they are ENFORCED.
For pete's sake, prostitution has been illegal since 1956, and since then how many BILLIONS of yen have switched hands, from wallet into purse?
