Glen Beck had a lot to say about this last night as Obama has just signed some form of executive order that makes the schools responsible for the bullying on and OFF campus and at any time on non school days. Beck was not a happy camper about this.
This has been going on for years, the throw back to the old, he/she must have asked for it. The victim of an assult be it rape or a good beating from a stranger now needs to prove THEY did not provoke the incident and or used excessive force to defend themselves.
Very confusing for a parent living in a state that is very liberal to know what to advise their daughters to do in a rape situation. If they fight back they could be killed, if they don't fight back some courts will put this down as agreeing to the rape, meaning consensual sex.
For the Male gender, Men and Boys do get raped, what to do, expose to the world the crime committed against them or say nothing for fear of future bullying.
I am trying to remember the movie and book about the true to life experience of I believe Big City Cop, detective that was ambushed by a gang and raped by them. His life at that time ended, he was harassed by fellow officers, his marriage ended and I cannot remember what happend to him later on---did he comit suicide or what.???
I have targeted rape as a result of what grows out of bulling at a young age.
The only bullying to my boys came when we had just moved into a new neighborhood and the town bully all of 8 years old beat up my 7 year old for his lunch money. NO.1 son comes home all scuffed up and tells me what happend. I asked my neighbor that I had just met about that boy and she told me was a Holy terror for the last year or so, his parents would do nothing about his conduct.
My 4 year old NO2 son had been listening to all this and worshiped his older brother, out the door he flew ran up the street and hammered on the door of the bully's house. The mother answered the door and NO.2 son BIT her on the ankle drawing blood.
The woman was terrified of what this Mighty Mouse was doing, and NO.2 drew back and yelled " HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT" Then came running home with her blood on his chin. NO 2 runs to his older brother and tells him he "GOT HER" for him.
I was like, WTF have you done son.??? Sat back and waited for the police to arrive. NOTHING happend, the mother of the bully had spread the news that the new family on the street [us] was bat shit crazy and to avoid us if possible.
Two years down the line my son and the bully became friends, both joined Scouting and life went on.
