Everyday, I've been sending a piece of candy as a treat in Tatyana's lunch box. A couple of days ago she said she didn't want to take M&Ms because there was a bigger boy that helps to clean the school lunch tables that was always asking for some of her M&Ms, and he would eat almost all of them. So yesterday I told her "Just say no!", and I gave her a kitkat. At first, when she came home from school, she didn't say anything, but when she saw me giving a piece of candy to Caleb she decided to tell me what happened. She said that after telling the boy that she wasn't going to give him her candy, he took it from her, ate it, and gave her the garbage back.
I'm so mad!! I called the school and talked to someone in the office, but it seems that they didn't care much... She told me that next time this happens, Tatyana needs to talk to Mrs. Ashley, that is responsible for the school lunch classes that come to help clean the school tables. She said every week is a different class, so this boy shouldn't bother Tatyana anymore.
But still... This is wrong! A bullie is taking Tatyana's treats in school and there is nothing I can do about it! She says she doesn't want to take candy anymore, but I think that she shouldn't be afraid of this boy. I told her: "Next time you make a big scene, yell at him, push him, and tell him in a very loud voice that you won't give him your candy". Roman told her: "Just punch him on his nose, I'm sure he'll be hurting... and then go tell an adult."
What do you think we or she should do?

I like your idea of yelling and making a big scene about it, but Nate agrees with Roman. Only he thinks Tat should kick him where it counts. (Maybe she shouldn't make that big of a deal about her candy, though.) Don't you wish we could go to school with our kids to protect them from people like this?
That is so frustrating! I wonder if there is some advice on dealing with bullies on a parenting website that you could look up?
