Again B.P would like a moment of your time Please to answer our weekly question?
Last week’s client did follow the decision made by your (The Bloggers) votes. Last week’s question was:
If an individual was to approached you, and wanted to sincerely apologize, but that person Bullied you and was the cause of you losing your job, totally destroying your life, would you forgive him and accept his apology?
15 votes for no……2 votes for Yes, B.P would like to say thank you to all who took part and voted.
This week’s question is also from a client, their 11 year old son as a result of an incident returning home from school, the cause of a serious injury, he is now blind due to solvent that was thrown in his eyes, his parents are in the position to press charges against the individual responsible, another 12 year old boy who has been a victim of Bullying most of his live by his peers, he had thrown the solvent assuming it was his own attackers that were approaching to Bully him again and his actions were not meant for the victim, their son, would you press charges?
If your answer is “YES” please comment and explain why.
If your answer is “NO” please just click the like button and do not comment.
Violence is never an answer. As a parent, I could not forgive the permanent maiming of my child under any circumstances. I cannot think of a mother who would not feel the same. And yes, I have been bullied.
I think you raise a good point and even tho I voted NO, now you have made me think,even having second thoughts maybe…thank you for your impute it’s greatly appreciated.
I would feel very badly for the 12 year old who was a victim himself, but just because he was trying to protect himself, he still injured an innocent person. I would press charges because the boy has to learn that when we do something in life, we have to take responsibility for our actions. However, I would not just stop there. I would also request that the boy receive a suspended sentence while doing some community work that could help him build some esteem and also provide him with some counselling to help him deal with his own issues. Further, I would ask that there be an investigation into finding the other bullies and get them into some programs that would help them stop being bullies.
This is amazing now I’m convinced, your impute is a very professional opinion and I totally agree, a result from an adult perspective, a situation that in the long term everybody wins, the parents will all gain a more civilized and disciplined child and yes the Bullies as well, it’s obvious they have issues that require intervention for disciplining, not a task that’s impossible to accomplish. We respect and welcome your opinion when ever you feel the need to share with us, Thank you very much for your opinion and enlightening thoughts.
