Last year, my son was expelled from school.
One day, three boys surrounded him and started making fun of him.
My son tried to stay calm and create some distance, but one person stood in front of him, blocking his path.
Then, another boy uttered words that would change his life.
"I'm glad your mother is in a wheelchair. I
hope she dies of a seizure one day."
Our family has already experienced great grief.
This April will mark 11 years since my daughter passed away.
She only lived for 14 months.
The moment his son heard the words, "You should just die,"
something snapped inside him.
He turned around and punched the boy hard in the nose.
The school didn't consider what the boy had said.
They simply expelled my son for the reason that he had physically assaulted the other boy.
So I took my son to get ice cream.
There is a line that should never be crossed with words.
I wholeheartedly support my son for standing up and saying, "That's enough."
He knows that hitting someone comes with consequences.
But there are some things in life that you absolutely must protect.
When that time comes, I will always be by my son's side.
