I'm all about parents sticking up for their kids. I am. But some parents take that shit to a whole 'nother level and its just not good for anyone. Teri Pallat, 39, of Iowa has a teen son who was being bullied and says that the school was doing nothing to stop it. That's not shocking. Schools tend to not really pay attention to shit like that. What is shocking is the Facebook post she placed stating things like her son would “shoot up” the school and “only get the ones that caused this. He is an excellent marks men.” If she is convicted she can get 5 years in prison for the terrorist threat and 2 for the harassment.
She also went on to write “And they
asked why do people shoot up schools well this is exactly why and
when our son does it cause I know he will they have nobody to Blame
but the administration and I promise everyone he will only get the
ones that caused this.” She ended up
being charged with harassment and making terrorists threats. She
ended up posting $10,000 bail.
Her wife (that is not a typo, stop
being so suburban) Meredith Pallat posted on Facebook about a month
ago as well saying “OUR SON IS BEING BULLIED. No one at the school
sees it or will do a damn thing about it.” Her son, who is 15, has
been suspended while police get their investigation on. He suffers from
epilepsy and has been bullied for over a year. When interviewed by
cops he said “he would in fact like to ‘hurt’ the bullies of
which he listed ten names.” He said that he would never actually
hurt the bullies and his mom agreed to have him evaluated. God forbid
anyone ever asked me for a list of kids I hated in school and sent me
to be evaluated. They would've had to hire a new counselor just to
handle me.
While I applaud parents taking a step
to end their sons bullying the way they went about it is all kinds of
honked up. I know that telling the school won't do shit. Making
veiled threats about how good their son is at using a gun is sure as
fuck not a good idea especially with the school shootings that have
occurred, one being just the other week a year after the
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. I would
have went to the school and kicked the asses of every teen that
fucked with my kid. But I'm not a parent so I have to use logic. I'd
go to the police with my kid, explain the situation, and make things
happen.
Being bullied sucks. I was bullied
growing up and with every bully that messed with me I eventually
fought and beat them. Later it became just shit talking but everyone
thought I was crazy so they always stopped at a certain point. Having
an older brother that was a gang member with a reputation for
knocking people out helped. Kids nowadays get picked on over the
internet and when it is in person the shit is always extreme.
Parents need to stop acting as if they
don't remember how shitty school was. Especially these parents that
are between 32 and 45 years old. We are part of the same group that
had these strange ass parents that grew up with parents that made it
through The Depression that taught us to tough shit out while making
all the medications and drugs that so many people are addicted to
right now. Things have changed. People have changed. The world has
changed. What worked in the past no longer does. If I had a kid that
was being fucked with at school by anyone my new job would be making
that shit stop as soon as I knew about it.
