Mom Defends Son Who Beat up His Bully, Got Suspended "The School Did Nothing"

Allison Arnall Davis says the punches her son threw have been the culmination of months of abuse he faced at the fingers of these bullies.

If any individual punches back once after being poked at repeatedly for months and months with out outcome, who must get in trouble? Allison Arnall Davis not too long ago went viral after her son Drew gained out-of-school suspension for beating up some other boy. 

On Facebook, Allison explains that she's not mad at Drew for doing what he did as a result of the boy Drew beat up has been tormenting him for months. Her son in the end fought again in opposition to the bully who has been torturing and dangerous him whilst the school has sat again and achieved nothing. Allison's publish has caused an impassioned discussion about bullying, school duty, and whether or not violence is ever warranted.

Allison's Facebook starts, "Five days of OSS for beating up the kid that has been tormenting and bullying him since middle school. I know as a parent I'm supposed to be upset with him for resorting to violence or getting suspended, but I'm not. Not even a little bit.

"For years the school has failed Drew," she continues. "When this kid has continuously threatened to beat Drew up together with several of his pals, the school did nothing. When this child followed Drew down the corridor threatening him and making fun of him AND it used to be all captured on video, the school did nothing. When other youngsters informed academics and administrators that this child was once threatening Drew, the school did nothing. When this kid took to social media, voicemails, and testing threats, the school did nothing. When this kid threatened Drew over and over again in every class they have got together. The school did nothing."

The school repeatedly failed to take this kid's behavior seriously. From Allison's post, it seems like many people tried to make the school aware of this kid's unacceptable bullying and they turned a blind eye. She explains that, all through middle school, the bully and "his minions" made Drew frightened of even walking down the hallway. But eventually, he stopped reporting this kid to adults because they would never take him seriously.

"I despatched the school a long electronic mail at the starting of the year begging them to do something because Drew refused to speak to adults at school about it because he knew it will do him no excellent," Allison wrote. "Drew had four categories with this child and he would not depart Drew alone. Their answer and reaction was once to have him and bully sign a no touch contract." But clearly, that didn't work. 

Allison wrote, "When this child threatened Drew (whilst on the bus) after which moved on to making amusing of his Dad and then threatening Jackson, his 11-year-old brother, Drew made up our minds that he would hand over depending on the school and the adults who are suppose to offer protection to him and HE would do something. Three punches and his bully screamed like a toddler, his minion friends close up, and this morning the bully wouldn’t even look at him. Problem solved."

While it might seem like Allison is celebrating Drew's bully's demise a little too excitedly, it's clear that her whole family was at their wits' end when it came to this bully. Bullying can have catastrophic effects on kids' lives, and school's really do need to take responsibility and protect all their students. 

Allison's post exploded on Facebook because it's a new take on such a pertinent issue for parents everywhere. It garnered 225,000 reactions, 132,000 shares, and hundreds of comments that have contributed many different opinions to the conversation. "I do not trust violence," one commenter wrote, "but when nobody is helping you you gotta do what you gotta do to forestall a bully... Shame on the school system for not doing one thing."

The overwhelming majority of comments had been totally supportive of Drew status up for himself. Many shared identical tales in their children status up to bullies and then being the ones to in truth get punished. 

While it wasn't perfect that Drew beat up any other child, hopefully this incident will lead to conversations between Allison and the school that will result in them actually taking action by contrast bully and others. School should be a secure area for all, and while it's unfortunate that bullies exist, colleges need to acknowledge the seriousness of those situations and give protection to their students.
