My teen son is being bullied. He's such a normal kid with lots of friends and is also really nice, funny, and overall great kid.

He doesn't tell me anything though. I found out from his friends that there is one kid who apparently beat him up twice already if not more times. Apparently a bat was involved and he was bleeding. first time my husband called the school and the other kid got suspended.

This time I want to be more forceful but I never dealt with this before. What do I do? Until this is resolved, I'm not sending him back to school.

What does the school say now? Is the kid still suspended?

Also, is it bullying or a fight? Does the perpetrator have a "click" of admirers, or a one man show?

Keeping your son home should be a last resort, especially during high school. It can affect his social standing.

Well his friends told me about it so clearly they were not happy it was happening.

I'm a little more worried about him being attacked with a bat than his social standing.

I think you need to meet with the principal and see if he has any more information for you. You need to know the full story. Make it clear that your sons life is in danger and he needs to take immediate action.

keep your son home until resolved my ds went through major bullying it was so sad. The schools don't do anything switch his school asap!

Either the kid doing the bullying has to leave or your son needs new school it will not stop so easily.

If you have $ tell school no $ util fixed maybe that would help. . ..I wouldn't give any more tuition either until fixed.

If there were witnesses and especially if a bat was involved, the bully could probably be tried for assault. I'm not saying you should necessarily actually file a police report at this point but maybe you can use it as leverage when you demand action.
Is there any way you can find out more about what's going on, maybe through your son's friends if your son won't tell you?

I wouldn't report to the police.

There were witnesses.

I guess I will try to get the full story and keep him home till I do.
