And I find it outrageous how many parents, my own included, become the bullies to their kids that they are trying to protect their kids from. They would have been better off doing nothing.
I was about to say something similar. What I have noticed is that although some of my kiddo's friends are bullied, the majority who are bullied in school are ALSO bullied at home by their parents, of course, their parents don't see it as bullying. I have now made the decision to stay away from such parents, as a few have started to bully my son. That's where it all went crazy for me...they can all take a hike. My son is an incredibly fun, sweet kid with great self-esteem and I'll be dam#$%ed if the parent of another autistic kiddo will bully him.
This is really upsetting. I am glad you are there to step in and defend him.
I can see how the exploitation and abuse of their own kids online is a kind of natural product of the pro-narcissism, pro-exhibitionism culture of this era, with "Keeping up with the Kardashians" setting the standard--but bullying other people's kids as some kind of extension of bullying your own seems inexcusable.
