re: OT dads, how do you deal with bullying?

My kids are only in elementary school and luckily aren't subjected to that kind of thing, but our neighbor has a kid in middle school who was bullied. I don't know the details, but somehow through social media the kid managed to eventually convince the school that the bully was gay and it turned into a huge charade with parents, teachers and principals and various school administrators having to get involved, but in the end the kid was not ever messed with again.

Sorry I don't have more details, that's all that his dad would share with us.
