Two weeks ago a teacher messaged me that 14 year old son had been in a fight at school before lunch (i recieved the message at about 2) and was with the nurse. I texted my son, nothing. Nothing from the school other than a solid by a friend of the family.
I grab the keys and drive to the school. Admittedly I am pissed as there hasn't been notification of anything. I get to the school and am taking to the nurse to talk to my son. He has a bruised cheek and redness around the eye. I ask him why he didn't call me? He had left his backpack in his classroom. So I ask the nurse, why she didn't call me? She stated that the assistant principal was "investigating" and doesn't call parents until he is finished? I pressed her why she didn't call me to tell me my son was in the nurses office with bruises to his face and obviously a little shaken. This didn't get anywhere. I was, in my opinion, rightfully annoyed.
Anyhow, my son explains that he was waiting for a teacher outside her classroom. A girl walked up waiting for the same teacher. Then a teenage ditbag walked up and told my son to stop staring by his girl. My son responded that he was waiting for the teacher and that kid could not tell him what to do. Teenage Dirtbag (now known as Dbag) said, "Do you think I am kidding?" And immediately punched my son three times in the face. My son was shocked and didn't respond other than to cover and more away... after the third blow (my fault as a dad for not properly teaching him how to deal with a dbag and getting away). Story was fully collaborated by several students and teachers that saw this happen in the hallway. Okay, I need to see the principal.... now! Right damn now.
Assistant principal (ASS P) shows up... and explains what happened and I hear him out. Now, my turn... 1. Why was no one in the hallway monitoring kids? 2. Why was I not notified my son was attacked and in the nurses office? 3. What is going to happen to Dbag? Number one and two are why I am fuming at this point.
ASS P tells me "his policy" is to not notify parents until he can tell them the whole story, I stopped him there and explained his policy is bullshit as I shoukd have been notified immediately that my son was at the nurse for taking three blows to the face from Dbag. He could explain he was I vestigsting the matter further and could fill me in on the rest, as opposed to a parent finding out through back channels and then not being able to get in touch with my son. He actually started to try to argue this point. He actually stood up while I was sitting as if he was talking to a teenager and trying to get his intimidation factor. I stood up (I am not huge, but at 220, 5,11 barefoot wearing some workboots... several years in the gym... I just don't get ****ed with much... good thing as I don't want to be in childish altercations... but this is my kid dammit) and tell him he needs to sit right back down and get control of himself. I watched my words but said it with obvious anger in voice. He sat down as the school police officer did tell him he need to sit down.
Anyhow, the ASS P said that the other kid woukd be in some sort of school suspension but couldn't go into details due to privacy laws... due to having "several instances of fighting". I informed him attacking someone and two boys getting into a fight are very different things. I ended up deciding to press charges about the time I saw that other kid walk by. He has atleast 40 pounds and 6 inches on my son... punching way out of his weight class. My son didn't want me too, but I did it anyway. Kid got arrested on the spot, then cuffed and stuffed. The ASS P said he needed to excuse himself to notify the parents on the Dbag.
I am not one to press charges ona kid for a fight, that shit happens... but just deciding it was okay to attack my kid, having a history of this and no other parent stepping up... f that. While it won't happen, I did let my son tell the Dbags girlfriend and other friends that Dbag's dad could agree to meet me at the gym and we could settle it on the mat, but his kid have to be there to watch. Childish I know, but God damn the adrenaline had me going.
End of the way too long story. Insert TL
R as needed. Eventually I'll get back to the cuck part 2.
