My nieces were bullied a little in school a few weeks ago, most of it though took place on social media. Their father passed away a few years ago and being they are my wife’s sisters daughters, in certain situations I’ve taken role of Dad, mostly school stuff, their mom isn’t dumb, she’s street smart but not much into education ( I’m no genius either).
Anyway when I found out who the kids were I phoned the parents to let them know what was going on, most were receptive, only two out of the 9 gave me difficulties. My real point of contention though wasn’t just the bullying, it was not knowing the family of the kids that were being bullied, as I said earlier my brother in law died a few years ago and although he knew right from wrong, he didn’t care, he spent numerous years behind bars on and off, and probably should have been a lifer except for a few technicalities. While I tried to explain to the parents what probably would have happened to them had he been alive, I think the translation was lost.
So today one of the parents did call me because they found out the Dad still has family in the area, after he did a background check he’s thinking about moving, lol. I told him as I told the principal of the school that somehow not knowing the family of person you are bullying, should make you wanna think twice, and that should be taught in the bullying seminars, classes, etc.... it fell on deaf ears.
As grown ups I get it, that’s kids stuff, “ Your Dad is gonna beat up my dad”, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case with my brother in law. He would of started off with taking the families pet, skinned it, then brought it back, and that’s just the start.

James, I can't really tell what you're talking about but it sounds like you called the parents of the kids who bullied your nieces "a little" on social media and threatened them with physical harm, intimating that their father was a felon and if he were still alive they would be in danger? And now they know the family of the deceased felon dad is in the area and you're allowing them to feel like they might take revenge?
I don't think he's threatening anyone. I think he's trying to point out that you could bully someone with a parent who would retaliate violently. Another reason to stop bullying.

Weird post. Your nieces were bullied so you sort of threatened the parents? And this is okay?
I agree. It's like the answer to bullying is bullying. Wow...what an example to set.
