Missouri mom defends son beating up school bully in viral post: 'Three punches and his bully screamed like a baby'
MANSFIELD, MISSOURI: When Allison Davis of Missouri was informed of her son Drew’s suspension for beating up another kid at his school, instead of punishing him or being disappointed with him, she took to her Facebook to applaud her son’s actions.
On December 2, Monday, Allison posted a lengthy post on her Facebook explaining why she’s proud of her son Drew and defended him for beating up his bully which eventually led him to be suspended from his school for five days.
In her post, the Missouri mother spoke about how her son has been bullied for several years by an unnamed boy and his friends, yet the school did nothing despite repeated complaints from Drew, his friends, classmates, and even her.
She wrote, “When other kids told teachers and administrators that this kid was threatening Drew, the school did nothing… I sent the school a lengthy email at the beginning of the year begging them to do something because Drew refused to talk to adults at school about it because he knew it would do him no good. Drew had four classes with this kid and he would not leave Drew alone. Their solution and response was to have him and his bully sign a no-contact contract.”
The school finally made the unnamed bully and Drew sign a no-contact contract, which clearly didn’t work, since the bully again threatened to hurt Drew.
Drew finally decided to take matters in his own hands after the school failed to ensure his safety and beat up his bully.
“Drew decided that he would quit relying on the school and the adults who are suppose[d] to protect him and HE would do something,” she wrote. “Three punches and his bully screamed like a baby, his minion friends shut up, and this morning the bully wouldn’t even look at him."
“Problem solved," she added.
Allison even explicitly mentioned that although as a parent she’s expected to be upset over her son’s actions, she wrote she felt "far from it."
Her post also had a selfie of Drew with a caption that read: “5 Days OSS”.
Allison’s post has gone viral and managed to get 241K likes, 583 comments, and a whopping 140K shares!
While several people commended Drew's actions and spoke out against bullying, there were a few who weren't so comfortable encouraging such behavior.
