Yeah, that's what happens when family reject communication with a child.
If your child is getting bullied, I feel like the only acceptable course of action is to tell them to fight back. And when the school inevitably punishes them instead of the bully, stand your ground and take your child out for ice cream and off to Disneyland while they're suspended. Because when they come back, they won't be such an easy bullying target anymore, and that's worth it.
Of course, it's important to also objectively verify the truth. Don't want to reward actual bullies just because your child is your perfect little angel.
