What would you advise 10th grader to do?

This calls for you to act. As the adult that's witnessed these 3 boys taking his bike, I would 1st try to address the parents and let them be aware of what's going on. Most parents want to be aware of what their kids are doing. Once they get a knock on the door, they usually tend to listen to another parent. Police really don't do much, but documenting this is a good idea if things continue to get worse. Tell your son to keep doing what he's been doing....IGNORE all the teasing. It's Very hard for teens to do this, but necessary in the long run. I would contact the school and make sure they are aware of what's been happening as well, just in case. Keep giving your son positive feed back that what he's doing is right and fighting is taking the easy way out and doesn't solve anything but further tensions.

Hope this advise works for you and your son will get past this.

I think that you should talk with the other kid's parent and tell them what's going on , then if that doesn't resolve the situation then yes , I would make a complaint to the police and press harassment charges on the other boy's. I am sure that it will scare them. I have a 12yr old , last year he got into a fight with a good friend of his , this other boy was cussing at him and saying alto of bad things to him. I told my son that if he was any kind of a friend he would not be treating him this way, and that it was up to him what he wanted to do. They are no longer friends.It's hard growing up but you have to let them make their own decisions. Yes I went to the parent's and let them know about this , and they took matters into their own hand's . Yes I still talk to them every now and then.

First, file a POLICE report about his bike! That is:

trespassing on another person's property AND vandalism AND stealing!

If the police have a RECORD on these boys, then it will be eaier to "get them" IF they [heaven forbid] do something WORSE to your poor son! : (

Next, contact the SCHOOL -- both principal and teachers -- they need to be AWARE of the situation, to keep their eyes out for any problems at school -- those boys may also be making his life at school hell, too! : (

Try calling the parents - and maybe even VISITING the other parents at their HOMES! One-on-one contact is much more effective than just a phone call!

Lastly, make sure you do NOT allow your son to go anywhere ALONE! Those horrible boys may do something WORSE! Try to drive him places, etc... OR make sure he is with a group of other people if he goes anywhere.... I feel so bad for you and especially your poor son!

Good luck! : )

I think that it has gone far beyond talking to the other parents and it is time to get the police involved. Taking his bike is stealing and I think that it has gone far enough. Go to the police station and file a complaint against the boys. Your job as a parent is to protect your son. If some rude coments were made to my child while I was in the car, you bet I would have jumped out and said something. Enough is enough, do something.

Call the police, first of all, since they stole his bike.

Call the parents and explain how these children are treating your son and tell the parents that is they keep harassing him you will be taking legal action. Then see if the parents do anything about it. If they don't, you can file charges against them.

Talk to the other parents and work something out. If that doesn't work well got o the precinct and file a report. That way if they do anything to your son the would end up in a juvenile detention center.

First of all I suggest to diverge the hatred among the boys.It's a child's nature to take a revenge for the deeds,as a mother teach the belief of non violence,it is the right age to teach both the boys in your locality and preach the Gandhian thought for their better future.after all they are the future citizen of the country.and of course would like your child become a respectable person in a society.

Thats hard for a kid to go through. although if they stole is bike thats a law issue and you can call the cops.. Kids will be kids. i dont however think your boy needs to physically fight them... they have number on they're side which can be worse then age. have you tried talking to the parents of the 3 boys? tell you son to just blow off anyone that says anything mean to him and tell them it doesn't bother him. they wont make fun of someone that doesn't care. its no fun if they dont get a reaction.

Call your local police dept and tell them you want to make a harassment complaint against these kids. The police will probably go to their house and talk to them and their parents (which usually scares them) and they will probably stop. I am also thinking that your son has done SOMETHING to bring this hatred upon him. If you havent already you could also talk to the other parents about this.

I'd call the cops out regarding the bike being stolen. Once you get them involved you will be able to talk to the parents and get things straighten out and also let the other brats that you won't put up with their crap!
