re: #516 The Vicious Babushka

My son was bullied relentlessly in both middle and high school. I only recently found out to what extent. I knew it was bad, I had no idea how much worse it was. It’s different now in many ways. Social media and video cameras in cell phones make things much worse, and in many ways it’s much meaner now. And violent. There’s also a larger social reward for being an asshole now. If what happened to my son had happened between adults at a workplace, people would have gone to jail and the employer would have had their asses sued big time. It left him devastated and he’s only now recovering almost 3 years later. He’ll always carry those scars though. It makes me want to hurt the adults that created the bullies and the assholes that did nothing to stop it.
