My 10 yr old girl & a 10 yr old girl both pushed each other at school during soccer. The Mom is talking about prosecuting attorneys. What...

Laws on bullying differ from state to state (see examples
below); however, most states do have a least some laws dealing with bullying between
minors.  Honestly, I don't think I would be too concerned about legal ramifications with
10 year olds.  Unless this is a repeat incident, I doubt any prosecutor would take the
case. 

With that said, do you have any evidence of the other child
bullying your daughter?  You stated that the other child has been bullying your daughter
for the last two years.  Do you have any incident reports or other proof of these
incidents?  It might be good to put them together in some type of notebook just in
case.  It might also be a good idea to set up an appointment with the school counselor
or principal and try to come to some sort of understanding.

The school
officials are going to be the first step, even for the other mother.  It might be good
to go ahead and try to work something out with them before the other mother can push
things out of hand. If the school officials won't listen, considering making an
appointment with the superintendent or school board. If this other child has been a
problem before, I would certainly see what can be done to separate the children at
school.  No child should have to put up with bullying in an educational
environment.
