Several weeks ago, a Beadle student was beat up by a high school boy. Tonight, my 8th grade son and his 4 friends were chased by sophomore boys. One of my sons friends was beat to a pulp and another was sprayed with Pepper Spray. My son and his friends were just up the street at the Anderson Park just after dinner time. Are there any ideas as to what can be done about this happening to other middle schoolers? Short of making my child stay at the house, I don't know what else to do.
