Look at the Dirt!

Posted by Heather On September - 25 - 2007

My new kit is in the store!  Yippie!  LOL  But, I’ll tell ya where it is in  a sec.

First, let’s talk about Jordan.

This is my little man.  (And that’s a self portrait of him.  LOL)  Those of you who have been reading this blog for awhile know that I had a problem last year with a certain group of kids picking on him.  Well, the school got the parents involved, 1 kid moved away, it was taken care of.  I felt ok letting Jordan go outside again.

Til yesterday.  I think I’ve been wrong telling Jordan to get away and not fight back.  I really do.  Ok, my exact words are, “Always look for an out.  If someone is hitting you, and you can get away, you get to an adult and tell them what is going on.  If you don’t have an out, you stand your ground and defend yourself.  And the fight ends when you have stopped them from hurting you.” 

Well, I’m just fed up and tired of it.  Jordan came crying in the house last night.  He was outside playing with a little boy that he always plays with, they’ve been playing together since we moved in here 3 years ago.  There was also a new little boy that moved in a month ago or so.  They’ve just started getting to know him and playing with him recently.

Turns out, Jordan had said to Thomas, “Don’t be a nerd,” over something he was doing.  (Thomas is the little boy we’ve known forever, and truth be told, he kind of is one, but heck, so am I, doesn’t make it bad LOL)  But Jordan wasn’t saying, hey, you, you’re a geek, you’re a nerd!  You’re a LOSER!  No, he was joking around with Thomas.  Didn’t seem to bother Thomas at all.  But, it really must have bothered the new boy. 

He yelled, “Don’t call my friend a nerd!” and attacked Jordan.  Jordan had a mark on his forehead and his cheek almost all night from where he punched him.  Not quite sure what he did to Jordan for this:

That’s on his neck.  And the lighting is bad because it looks more like it’s bruised in the pic, but it’s actually raw, and it was bleeding when he came in.  I didn’t think to take a picture til Darlene reminded me at the DSO chat.

He kicked him in that area that really hurts boys too.  And something about Jordan’s baseball bat, but I’m not sure if Jordan was exaggerating on that one, I don’t see any baseball bat marks on him, unless that is where he got him on the cheek or the head.  I know one of them was from a punch.

I was so mad.  I marched over to the next building.  That little boy saw me coming and high tailed it into his apartment and locked the sliding glass door.  I said to his sister, Is Daniel out here?  She said, No, he’s inside.  I said, I want to talk to him, now.  We go to their porch.  He’s sitting with his nose to the glass.  Won’t open up.  I said, I want you out here now.  He shook his head no, and ran off to the back.  His older brother opened the door.  I stuck my head in and saw grandpa sitting there.  I said, Daniel just started beating on Jordan, and he’s got some nice marks from it.  He said, “I’ll tell his mother when she gets back.”  Not, Daniel, get out here and explain this to me.  I was irritated.  I saw his mom pull in, but not get out of her car.  I was outside with the girls, and I called Jordan out, because I wanted her to hear it from him.   I said, you go over there and show his mom what her son did to you.  So he did.  He said that she said she’d talk to him about it.  Never heard nothing else.  Woohoo, aren’t you lovely.  If that would have been my son, I would have called his butt over and showed him his friend, what he had done to him, and he would have been apologizing his toosh off, and he’d be grounded for quite some time.

I’m not putting up with this, this is their freebie.  I’m tired of people hurting Jordan, and I’m calling the office next time.  And if the office doesn’t get the mother to do something, I’m bringing in the police like I had to when 2 of the other kids here were jumping Jordan and the parents wouldn’t do anything. 

I may have a talk with little mr thing when I take Jordan out to the bus this morning.  I’m still so irritated.

Ok, on to more pleasant things.  Oh, those frames above that I used?  From my dear friend Kim B.  Aren’t they sweet?  You can get them here.

My new kit is in the store!  Woohoo!

    I’m sorry to hear that Jordan’s have trouble with the neighbor boy. Since he’s new to the neighborhood, I’d be overrly cautious . Good thing you took photos.
    Thanks for putting my LO’s up. It’s a great kit and I’m having so much fun with it.

    Love the kit, Diane did a fab job! I vote for papers! Thanks so much!

    I think Kris and I could still make it there by the end of the week! :) Bunny’s idea isn’t a bad one – make a report with the police and I think I’d do the same with the apartment complex office – kind of an FYI I’m filing a report with the cops sort of thing. Still makes me mad when I think about it! Grrrr…..A bully in the truest sense – since he ran when he saw you coming and then wouldn’t come out! Hopefully it’s a one-time thing and that Mommy Dearest actually did something about it. Does this kid have a dad anywhere? Can’t imagine Pato would let Jordan act that way (not that you would either, but sometimes boys respond to dad-figures more than mom). Anyhow – sending hugs to Jordan! :)
    Diane did a fantastic job on those LOs.

  6. Bunny says:

    now dammit.
    MOVE TO KY. LOL…

    seriously, call the cops anyway to have it on file. Learn from my mistakes! Remember year before last? *UGH*

    They will ask you if you want to press charges, say no but you wnat it ON FILE, and either give them the pictures or make them take some. That way IF there is a next time, they have some kind of record of NOW. Even if you ARENT pressing charges, get it put on file. And I would tell that HAG of a monher that you IDD have it put on file at the police department and the next time it happened you would be pressing charges. Im sure I would the proceed to tell her OFF but thats prolly not the best route to go for you. hahaha!

  7. Bunny says:

    UGHHHH… see..
    so mad .. look at those typos.
    LOL.

    I am LOVING that kit!! So dirty, but it’s sooo pretty.
    That little brat (cleaning up what I’d really like to say) & his Mama both would have some serious explaining to do. I would have stood there & told her to go get her son & have Jordan tell her what happened. With her kid there. Wonder if she’s one of those “Oh my precious perfect child could never do that” kind of parents? We have one across the street. Kid took my stepson’s glasses off & threw them across the playground & bent them all up. Then his sister sat there & slapped Jay & when he pushed her away from him, she ran home telling her mom. That got ugly. Good luck with all that with Jordan. I’ve taught mine to defend themselves, not to go looking for anything, but when it’s over to find an adult & tell them what happened.
    Jordan – Keep your head up & don’t let those bullies push you around!!!

  9. Kari says:

    GO BUNNY!!! I totally flaked on having a record with the police. *smacks head*

    Oh My Gosh what a little terror. Hope it all works out. Great New kit to :)

  11. dj says:

    I vote for papers!

  12. SarahG says:

    AWWW! I’m so sorry to hear about Jordan!
    What a Monster that boy must be and a little Guilty Chicken Sh** for running off and hiding! I think you’ve got some great advice already, I’d definately inform the complex management and Police too! I hope things get better for him, kids can be so mean and cruel! ((HUGS)) To you and Jordan! :)

  13. tallgirl says:

    After whatever you decide to do, let enroll him in one of those martial arts self-defense classes. It will build his self esteem and he won’t be a target.
    Best to you and Jordan!

  14. Winged Heart says:

    I’m so sorry Jordan is having problems with this bully. And I even feel sorry for the poor kid whose parents obviously aren’t doing a very good job of raising him. Jeez…kids can be so cruel. I know we had bullies when I was coming up (the 50′s and early 60′s), but it seems so much worse now. Give him a gentle hug for me and make sure he knows that he has fans all over the world that he hasn’t even met!!! Oh, and the kit’s coming out great…I’m not usually a huge fan of grungy time things but I’m lovin’ this dirt!! LOL Thanks for your generosity.
