Mom Defends Her Son for Standing Up Against a Bully

Bullying is one of the biggest banes of our society; it’s haunted us for generations and doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. Almost all of us have been bullied at some point in our lives in one way or another.

The worst of it happens in school, during a fragile and transitory period for children who are learning to become a meaningful part of the world. Today’s story is from 2019, and it’s about a mother who defended her son on Facebook for beating his bully after being bullied for the longest time.

When a Loving Mother Speaks Up

Allison Davis hails from Springfield, Missouri, and her son, Drew, was constantly being followed and disturbed by a group of bullies around the school. They kept hovering over him and shadowing him. Until one day, Drew had enough of the bullying and stood up to the whole group.

Allison wrote about it defending her brave son on Facebook:

“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 suppose 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.”

“When this kid has constantly threatened to beat Drew up along with several of his friends, the school did nothing.”

“When this kid followed Drew down the hall threatening him and making fun of him AND it was all captured on video, the school did nothing.”

“When other kids told teachers and administrators that this kid was threatening Drew, the school did nothing.”

“When this kid took to social media, voicemails, and texting threats, the school did nothing.”

“When this kid threatened Drew over and over in every class they have together. The school did nothing.”

“Not once has the school ever punished the kid that has threatened and bullied Drew over and over. In middle school Drew was afraid to walk down the halls because a swarm of this kid and his minions would make fun of and threaten Drew. He quit talking to the adults about it because they never disciplined the bully and it just made the situation worse.”

“I sent the school a lengthy email at the beginning of the year begging them to do something because Drew refused to talk to adults at school about it because he knew it would do him no good. Drew had four classes with this kid and he would not leave Drew alone. Their solution and response was to have him and his bully sign a no contact contract.”

“Seriously?”

“I’m pretty sure I rolled my eyes. And, like Drew I gave up on trying to get the school to actually do something that would stop this kid from bullying Drew.”

“So…”

“When this kid threatened Drew (while on the bus) and then moved on to making fun of his Dad and then threatening Jackson, his 11-year-old brother, Drew decided that he would quit relying on the school and the adults who are suppose to protect him and HE would do something. Three punches and his bully screamed like a baby, his minion friends shut up, and this morning the bully wouldn’t even look at him.”

“Problem solved.”

Allison, you did what any loving and supportive mother would. No mother can see her child get bullied for so long and keep quiet about it.

  1. Well done Drew for standing up against the bully. I was bullied since I was 5 years old(I’m 42 years old now),and I ignored the bullies because I knew the teachers wouldn’t have done anything. I never even told my parents,as I knew it would cause more problems.
