A fun summer activity has turned into a vigilante movement at school.
My son, “David,” is 10 years old. This summer was hard for me and a lot of other parents. It looked like the COVID front was finally getting better, and then delta came in and meant that everyone was back to masking and distancing, and all the socializing that he had been looking forward to getting back to was out the window. Some of us neighborhood parents decided to get squirt guns and encourage our kids to water fight as a relatively COVID-safe activity.
They also tend to shadow some of the more notorious bullies in the school. They haven’t gotten into any fights yet , and David claims they’re looking out for the rest of the student body in a way that the teachers can’t or won’t. My husband is extremely proud and amazed at David’s leadership and organizational skills. I’ll admit to being quite impressed with them too, but I’m also worried. There’s a very thin line between being some kind of anti-bullying volunteer force and bullying themselves.
