Should Parents Confront Kids That Bully Their Kids?

Bullying has always been around, and it will continue to be around forever. Sure, it will take on different shapes and sizes but there will always be bullies in the world. So how should parents handle bullies? Well, probably not like this mother.

A Minneapolis mother took matters into her own hands and is now banned from the school and bus stop. According to CBS:

A mother who confronted two boys who bullied her 10-year-old son has been banned from her son’s Minneapolis school and even her son’s bus stop for the rest of the year.

Tanya Sydney said she does not regret taking actions into her own hand to keep her son from being a victim.

Last week, fifth-grader Sovante Griffin told his Mom and Stepdad he was being bullied on the school bus. Sydney said he told her boys were hitting him, so she took matters into her own hands. She went to the bus stop the next day and confronted the bus driver.

“He told me ‘I am doing the best I can, I can’t be in 50 million places at once,’” Sydney said.

She then got on the bus and yelled at the two boys that Griffin said were the bullies.

“Specifically to the two boys I said you need to keep your hands to yourselves,” she said.

Now, I'm not a parent so I don't know exactly how this woman felt, but there has to be another way. Confront the bus driver, the principal, or even the other kids' parents, but don't go after the bullies. Why? Because eventually you won't be there and the kid will be bullied even more because his "mommy" had to step in.

Am I wrong? Should the mother have confronted the bullies?
