Tiffany Finley, a concerned mother from South Carolina, expressed her distraught in a Facebook post regarding her 14-year-old son, Demarcus, being bullied and harassed.
According to Tiffany, her son used to play football and basketball at the local recreation league with another boy.
They were good friends at the time, but as they moved to middle school, Demarcus became a Yellow Jacket while the other boy joined the Rams.
Since then, Tiffany claims the other boy has been aggressively harassing and bullying her son.

In her post, Tiffany explained that the bullying goes beyond typical school rivalry.
She said the other boy frequently targets her son during games, attempts to provoke fights after games, and even sends threatening messages on social media.
Tiffany emphasized that she has instructed Demarcus not to initiate fights but to defend himself if necessary.
Despite efforts to resolve the situation by contacting the other boy’s parents, Tiffany says no meaningful action has been taken.
In the post, Tiffany also sought community responses, asking as a parent what she should do.
Many in the comments suggested involving the school or coaches to address the issue, while others encouraged legal action, such as harassment charges or even a restraining order.
Expressing support and offering simple advice, one of the commenters wrote:
I would try to get the school involved considering it’s happening at school events and if they don’t do anything about it give him the green light to make an example out of that lil boy so nobody else try’s him like that . He’s only doing it because he thinks Marcus is scared of him because he’s not reacting
While the community seems to be supportive toward Tiffany and is offering help, with one person even offering personal assistance. The school authorities appear to remain silent.
Tiffany expressed her worry in the media post and highlighted her concern for her son’s safety.
