ME Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Mrs ME got a call from the school today because my eldest lad (12 years) was grabbed at lunchtime by two boys in his year and whilst one boy held him down, the other lad bit him on the back through his blazer. It hasn't broken the skin, but there are discernible red / purple teeth marks on his back. The teacher that called Mrs ME started the conversation with "There's no need to worry but ME jnr has been bitten at school today...." what the... ?!!! What has the world come to? What happened to wedgies? or fistycuffs? or a ruck on the playing fields with everyone shouting "fight, fight, fight"?

malkiserow Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sorry to hear that.... hope the little fella gets over it and the perpetrators are punished by the school and parents. So the lads misunderstood what is meant by a dog eat dog world full of bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Is that classed as ABH...the hitting ... Not in a school, and the offender is under age. The school should take harsh lines on biting, they do even at my lads nursery. Go further mr me, not acceptable. Show your boy how fisticuffs work, to knock the teeth out the biter. Figgy That's the spirit, how about a shank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 How about teaching the kids to look after themselves and mete out some pain back, it worked really well for centuries. The last twenty years the namby pamby's have had too much say. What's wrong with your lad coming home missing teeth, when you ask him who and how did it happen, err well,me and my mate pinned this other lad down and I bit him on his back,the lad got up and hit me knocking my teeth out. If it was my son he would get a rollicking for doing it in the first place and told your lucky that's all you got, lesson well and truly learned. Nothing wrong in self defence.

88b Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Your too close to Dale farm to take chances I'd get him to hospital for a rabies and tetanus shot, obviously not Basildon ( under special measures ). Seriously I'd want to know exactly what the school is doing about it and what they would have done if your lad had punched the other kid.

ME Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) ME jnr is a top level student. He is working two school years above his syllabus age. He is a popular lad and is no geek or wimp. He can handle himself (he does boxing training) and last time the same kid started on him he laid him out and got himself suspended (for sticking up for himself). This time he didn't lower himself to their level (because he doesn't want anything going on his school record). In our day, we would have just told him to defend himself, but now it all gets reported and could count against him in the future. At his school you have to be "invited" to attend six form rather than applying. Edited October 24, 2013 by ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Could have been worse............ Yeah, I was bottled in my twenties. It can always be worse. What I don't like is the cowardice of these two lads and what is biting all about? Pretty weird really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 What I don't like is the cowardice of these two lads and what is biting all about? Pretty weird really. Better biting than bumming...... but i dont think anyone at my school got bitten (least not outside the rugby pitch or or disco) does seem very strange though...

figgy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) So if your lad seen them out of school and they started he could defend himself vigorously without it affecting his school record. You go to a Public school HDAV. Figgy Edited October 24, 2013 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I would be round there to see the Head quicker than Ben Johnson on steroids. And if they refused to do anything about it would go and see their parents. Fights are fights and we all had them at school but biting just isn't cricket. At our school bullies were singled out by the PE master and humiliated at the morning assembly in front of 700 pupils... They never did it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 That's a pretty horrible thing to happen :( I hope MEjunior's alright. Aside from the actual biting that's a grim thing to happen. As others have said, what happened to the days of a 1-on-1 fight on a playing field: a bit of a punch up, dust yourself down, then go and lie to the teacher and say you 'fell over'. It's all so much nastier now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 :blink: He was at school, not the showers in prison. Depends on the school........... actually if the kids had a fight outside school it could well have the same/worse impact on school record as it happens "in public" then its bringing shame on the school particularly if in uniform...

Pheasant Feeder Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 A lad bit me when we were kids,(left teeth mark through my bomber jacket) he went home with a flat nose and a shirt full of claret. Mind that was over 30 years ago but never had any more trouble with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul65 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 As others have said, what happened to the days of a 1-on-1 fight on a playing field Those days never existed so far as bullies are concerned. 40 years ago I was bullied by 2 or 3 kids at school, they were sneaky nasty kids and would catch me when no-one was about. I didn't want to fight anyone, one on-one or otherwise. I wasn't soft, just scared of getting into trouble. It only stopped when I caught one of them on his own and battered him.

Mungler Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's funny because every school year has the odd bottom dweller who ruins it for everyone else. The teachers must see it all the time and year on year. I wonder if experienced teachers can do an accurate "who's who" at say 12 years old - picking out who is going to be the doctors, dentists, criminals, mentalists, homosexuals and so on.
