I pressed charges on the boy that bullied my daughter this morning

Recently, my daughter has been dealing with relentless bullying. One boy and his friends crossed an unforgivable line—he ripped off her wig and threw it in the trash. That wig wasn’t just expensive; it was a lifeline for her as she faces medical issues causing her hair loss. I didn’t hesitate. I took my daughter, the damaged wig, and the receipt straight to the police station and pressed charges for assault and destruction of property. Later, the boy’s parents reached out. They admitted they couldn’t afford to replace the $600 wig and asked for understanding because “he’s just 15.” But being young doesn’t erase the need for accountability. I told them plainly: actions have consequences. My daughter deserves to feel safe and respected, and it’s my job to make sure she knows that. Have you ever had to advocate for your child in a tough situation? I'd appreciate hearing your experiences. #ProtectOurChildren #ParentingThroughChallenges #AccountabilityMatters #StandUpForWhatIsRight #Parenting
