My two eldest sons have recently been bullied around our Estate by a group of boys who areof a range of ages. They are afraid to go out and play and because we are in the armed forces, we have no choice but to stay here. We cannot just move to somewhere else. they have been threatened by child with a knife; kicked, punched and hit with sticks; pelted with acorns and dragged from trees. I am trying my absolute best for them but am limited. Only problem is, they tell me when things happen all the time and I have to weed through the fear they have to find the actual reality of what has happened. This can sometimes leave me feeling it is a nothingness which I think is also dangerous. Kids are so cruel. It is so sad that they cannot even play out in our neighbourhood.
