demanding the girl learn all kinds of ways to protect herself. telling a teacher is not one of them. truly.... amazing. a mom speaks up for her daughter being bullied and she is crazy, helicopter parent, threatened suing and all kinds of things. she has to teach her daughter to avoid the boy, adjust her experience at school and she is the bad parent.

the boy who is misbehaving is normal. doing normal boy stuff. the mom that excuses the behavior is fine. lying is fine. putting out to her son sexual harassment is fine. going to fox is fine.

topsy turvey.
