A mother named Allie White took to her Facebook page to share a story about her sons, Bryson and Corbin, being picked on at school.
Allie tied her story to another mom’s post about her daughter getting beaten up by so-called friends.
She shared it to highlight how schools often overlook this issue and brush it off as if it didn’t matter.
Her son, Bryson, is just eight years old, playing soccer and trying to fit in like any kid. However, in third grade, things took a turn for the worse at his New York school.
Some boys on the football team started picking on him. One day, they hit him over the head with a stool. Above all, it wasn’t a little bump, but it hurt enough to leave him dazed.
Likewise, some kicked him in the knee, which kept him out of practices and games right at the end of the soccer season.
He couldn’t run or play like he wanted. And that’s not all. They spat on him, threw things at him, and made him feel small every chance they got. She wrote:

Allie says the teacher saw some of it happen but did nothing about it. No trip to the nurse to check on Bryson’s head or knee, and no words to the boys to knock it off.
Then, Allie asked to switch Bryson’s classroom. But the school said no. Likewise, she called the principal, Todd, over and over, but never picked up or called back.
Similarly, another staffer, Donna, turned down the room change flat. Disappointed, Allie wrote:
Nobody helped him, failed him.

That’s when she pulled Bryson out of school altogether. No more days walking in scared, no more sitting quiet while it kept going.
Above all, it’s not just Bryson but his elder brother Corbin got jumped in sixth grade.
He was tricked into thinking he was heading for a football game with buddies. Instead, a kid who’d bullied him all year waited with a group that knew the plan.
This is what happened to Corbin on schools grounds, he was asked to come play and he thought he was going to play football with friends and was jumped by a little jerk that bullied him all year in 6th grade and NOT ONE kid came to his aid

But Corbin fought back thanks to two years of karate, or it might have been worse. Despite this, not one friend stepped in.
The worst part was that the school gave the attacker just one day in in-school suspension, like a timeout.
And when Allie and Corbin’s dad complained about the year of bullying, the principal and assistant blamed Corbin.
They said, ‘Why didn’t Corbin tell them earlier, even though the family had called and emailed plenty?’ Allie expressed her frustration, writing:
Several kids knew what was planned and he was drawn over on false presences by several of his classmates. And all the kid that punched him got was one day in the reset room (ISS) slap on the wrist and the principal and assistant principal at the time tried blaming corbin saying he should have came to them if he was bullied all year, he did several times.

She added that her 11-year-old Corbin was just crying at his last game because some kids on his team were calling him trash and other names. He wrote:
My 11 year od was just crying at his LAST GAME because 4-5 kids on his team were calling him trash and other names, harassing him ON THE BENCH, with the coach right there

“This shit is unacceptable. Teach your kids better!” Allie expressed her frustration.
