68-year-old grandma bullied by seventh grade boys!

This makes me sick and I am appalled that kids can be so cruel. I wanted to beat up every one of those little demon seeds. How can they harass someone that could be their grandmother, for crying out loud?!

^ I would say, unbelievable , but it is totally believable. .

These guys probably wouldn't perform this nonsense if they had been tamed a little via the paddle treatment as discussed in my post in the "Opinion" category and Tamara-B's thread titled "Should Children be Spanked?".  Kids need to learn self discipline, both from home and from the schools, else they can become as weeds in a garden instead of beautiful flowers.

What is missing in these miscreants discipline is shame.  Public shaming is a more effective deterrant than paddling or time out or whatever inneffective methods used now.  Call a school assembly and march em out on the stage.  Have the principle describe what happened... bring in the grandma and make em apologize in public.
