I picked up on an interesting article about bullying by MSN , maybe it is still on sight and perhaps worth a look , no , i am not god and i am not lecturing you or telling you what you should or should be doing . My whole interest in your thread was about concern for your child , having gone through a similar experience when first arriving in Canada many years ago , the concept is that bullies are not racist but 'Power mongers' who pick up on signs that some else can be intimidated , until the victim moves or changes attitude , the bully will continue to 'Get his jollies', total power on a whim .
Just a concerned human being Colin .
