Bully made to run to school

Or just walk to school with the child. And on walk, talk about what’s good and not good behaviour. Father needs to take a step back. He’s trying hard, but too macho. At least he’s trying though

twiglet7 I didn't realise the YouTube link had been posted on Gransnet. Like you, I disapprove of that and believe that watching it encourages this sort of what I believe is abusive behaviour.

I suppose the lad has learned a good lesson about bullying - if you're a bully one day you'll be bullied by someone else who's an even bigger bully than you are - but for it to be so public is just wrong but sadly a sign of the times.

Apparently the boy’s behaviour in class improved with the three days of running to school. His teachers noticed a difference in attitude too. So maybe he’s a physical sort of child who needed the exercise to channel his frustrations.

If he's a child who needs exercise to "channel frustrations" surely getting him involved in a running or other sports club is the way to go.
Bullying fathers intimidate, humiliate and frighten their children. As for the school reports of improved behaviour following the incident, any teachers will confirm that it isn't unknown for teachers to report a child is 'much better, responding better' to parents they fear will physically or emotionally punish children to excess.
