| A staff report ADVERTISEMENT A 9-year-old elementary school student has been charged with seriously injuring a classmate by stabbing her in the back with a pencil on Wednesday, lawmen said. Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies charged the boy after he stabbed the 10-year-old girl at Cliffdale Road Elementary School, a news release said. Investigators say the boy stabbed the girl with a pencil, causing a puncture wound on the upper portion of her back. The boy stabbed the girl after an argument over a pencil box, authorities said. *** There are so many places one could go with this I don't know where to start *** According to the release, the boy found his missing pencil box in the girl’s possession. The girl did not require emergency medical assistance and returned to school Thursday, the release said. Detectives could charge the boy with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury pending the outcome of the investigation, the release said. He is in the custody of his parents at this time. School officials will handle disciplinary action against him. |

| #3 Abu, I have a similar tale. Our tiny daughter entered Jr hihg along with her great big friend. Older kids harassed, picked on, beat on them. Friends parents pulled her out of the school - which is how we found out anything. We asked our daughter if they did that stuff to her and she said "They did, but she waited until the teacher wasn't looking, and hit them back, and now they don't bother me anymore" (she was a lot stronger than she looked.) |

| #2 In a typical elementary school there are a few 'known troublemakers'. They break rules every day and do what they want and the school has given up on ever controlling them. If someone else happens to get fed up and do something about it, then the kid who is reacting will get the book thrown at them and holy hell breaks loose. A first hand account. A perpetual bully at my son’s school would beat him up almost every day. We had my son 'tell the teacher'. He was told to just say away from ‘Billy’… we met with the teacher about it and were told “well some kids you just can’t do anything about…” Finally I told my son (aged 8) “well, you need to decide if you are going to get your ass kicked every day or do something about it. If the teachers won’t give ‘Billy’ a reason to not want to pick on you, then you need to. “ Next day my son popped him back after the usual festivities began and gave him a fat lip. The school went totally ape shit. My son was suspended and we had to meet with the principal and some ‘intervention’ team. They did not like that my son had ‘crossed the line’ and made the problem worse. They remained steadfast that the kid who was the bully could not be controlled and that his parents ‘didn’t care’. But to them the whole problem was that my kid had fought back. Idiots. ‘Billy’ never bothered my kid again the whole rest of the year… so happy ending. Oh yeah, and now we home school. |
