What 5 year old buys their 5 year old friend clothing.
Kid: "Mom, Jenny's birthday party is this weekend and we need to get her a present."
Mom: "Well, what does Jenny like?"
Kid: "I've seen her wearing Auburn clothes and her parents too."
Mom: "I guess I'm going find some LSU clothing then."
Just an example of how she could get it from friends at that age! I know my mom makes it a point to do that to anyone with a newborn out of state, especially when the parents are fans of another SEC team.

My thoughts are to go directly to the school administration with all of the issues. While it is understandable for your son to be teased for his affinity for LSU, the school cannot tolerate any physical violence, regardless of the condition of the parties involved. Since your son is in a wheelchair, the actions of the other student are not only inexcusable, but also cause for a great deal of concern. If this kid thinks it is acceptable to beat up a disabled child at this age, imagine what he might do as he gets older. What has the school done to the boys? If they do not take serious action against the other student, I think there could be legal ramifications, for the school as well as the other child and his family.

That's just bad parenting. It happens everywhere. If someone'd have hurt someone with MD or any other physical disability where I went to school, they'd have gotten pummeled. Just make the administration aware, and if it happens again, beat the shite out of all of them Step Brothers-style.

Yeah,the point of my post was not to indict Bama kids. This is definitely an isolated case.

Called the parents and issued a warning. As a former teacher I know when speaking to aparent of a child involved in an incident it is unethical to mention other parties involved in an incident by name, but the administrator that called, evidently, did not feel the same, he told me the kid's name. Maybe they were dropping a hint...

I'd rather not say as he is the only kid in the entire population in a wheelchair and one of maybe three kids that are LSU fans.

My son is 21 months old and his first word was LSU(sounds like he is sneezing). We live surrounded by Tennessee and Bama fans who actually have the balls to say things like, "Why do you dress that child up in LSU crap here" and "He looks stupid in purple and gold". I just tell them he is not going hunting for the UT fans and for Bama fans I just tell them he will kick your imbred asses if you dont watch it.

Man, that's messed up. It sounds to me like that kid and his buddies have tried to taunt your son about other things (i.e. his disability) but failed to get a response from him. Your son evidently didn't let that stuff bother him or did a good job of concealing it. Thus, these kids have resorted to trying to attack something he is passionate about. Don't let that get taken away from your son because of these other kids, who evidently have rotten parents and probably worse problems at home.
These situations are difficult to deal with as a parent, because you don't want your child to get into trouble at school, but you also don't want him/her to feel like you are blaming them for what happened. If they feel that way, they will be less likely to tell you what's going on at school in the future.
If he were my son, I would sit down and explain to him that these kids are trying to get to him that way because he has been too strong to let them get to him over other things. From the sound of things, your son is a tough and well adjusted kid, so I would expect that he would understand where you are coming from and not let it get him into trouble in the future.

Also, please make a visit to the kids house and beat his dad with a tire iron while yelling "tiger bait" while his kid watches so he can fully comprehend the situation.

I too live in Bama and have a 6 yr old girl and 4 yr old boy. My 6 little girl wears her LSU stuff to school but not to a point that it is everyday. The bama fans here and at school are pretty cool but it is the standard 10% assholes that make up of what we talk about. Being here for 9 years I really haven't had much "shite" my my LSU gear, but a few times it got pretty close to "fist meets face".
Only one time did my little girl have a problem and it was on the bus. She told me that a 6 yr old boy made comments about LSU suck and such and kept pulling her hair. Now this was beyond telling the driver, admin, ect so I taught her how to make it stop quickly. He pulled her hair and she punched him in the stomach! There hasn't been a problem since. Also I saw his old man at a cocktail party the next day and after I told him what happened, he went home and beat his boy and then drove him over to apoligize to my girl!!! Haha
Not all bad......

Raising my son as a Tiger fan in this state is not without tribulation.
I recieved a call from his school today (he's 11 and a 6th grader) informing me he was involved in a fight during PE. It was all started by this kid who is a Bamafan who ragged my son by repeatedly telling him how much LSU sucks. An argument ensued and apparently it turned violent.
Now I know boys will be boys and this stuff happens all of the time, but my son suffers from Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair.
I'm not infering that Bammers raise their kids to behave this way. This is one kid out of many. I try to tell my son to ignore the taunting, but anyone who has been in Jr. High knows this cannot always be done.
My wife has asked me to not encourage his passion for the tigers and has even forbidden him from wearing LSU gear to school, but the cat is somewhat out of the bag and the kids all know his colors are purple and gold.
Should I heed my wife's advice and tone it down, considering where we live? I don't think I can un-ring that bell even if I wanted to.
Sorry to hear about this, my friend. I'm sure that you'll handle this the right way. The most important thing is to get your boy through a tough time for him. But you already know that.
Hope to see ya'll at a couple games this year.

demand retribution on the kid. It is best for him if he is suspended and see if you can make sure his parents whip his arse. Then file charges . Part of the sentence should be that he has to watch the Memorial Day Muscular Dystrophy telethon from start to finish.

No way did it happen. There is no way that other kids in the school as well as teachers, administrators, school janitors, anyone who possibly could have seen this would have let this happen. I don't care what school the kid is a fan of, there is no way that someone would stand by while a bully beats up a kid in a wheel chair.
If by some chance the kid got a punch/hit/spit ball in on the wheelchair kid, this would be all over the news... Not local news mind you, but FOX NEWS and CNN. No way, no how. I am calling B.S.

My guess is that the kid is already getting too many whippings at home for the wrong reasons. If he is the bully he sounds like, he probably resents that fact that a disabled kid can be happy about something, while he (a "normal" kid)has a shitty home life.

Then you nhave never met Tiger fan in bamaland...and with such an idiotic first post, you should hope that you never do.
Posted on 2/20/09 at 12:11 pm to tigerfan in bamaland
This is a tough one. I agree and think you're dealing with an exception-and-not-the-rule type of kid. I think you need to be a hard-*ss with the school and get this documented as a serious incident, which a fight certainly is - with culpability clearly pointed to the other kid. Now if it happens again you have a very strong case for suspension, and then expulsion of the kid in question if he keeps it up.
The parents of this kid - who are either almost fatally dumb or asleep at the switch - need to know that this is serious, and you sticking to your guns and demanding administrative action is the only way this is going to happen. Even brain-dead rednecks understand that a 10-day suspension means they have to look after their kids...something parents like this are probably scared sh*tless of.
If the school doesn't respond to your satisfaction simply ask them how they think this will look in the press. And remind them that the media exists across state lines.
There's fighting your kid's battles for him, and then there's protecting your kid. The latter is clearly in play here.
And good job to you and your wife for raising a fine young man.
