Mom shares post defending son for punching bully after school 'did nothing.'

The saying "eye for an eye leaves the world blind" is good in theory—but sometimes victims of violence are left with no choice but to fight back. A mom named Allison Arnal Davis thinks in the case of her bullied son, violence was the answer.

Davis took to Facebook to share a post in support of her son, Drew, who received 5-days out-of-school suspension for punching the kid who has been bullying him.

In the now-viral post, the mom defends her son's actions on the grounds that the school "failed" her son by doing nothing to address the bully's relentless, ongoing behavior towards him—despite multiple complaints.

Five days of OSS for beating up the kid that has been tormenting and bullying him since middle school.

I know as a parent I’m suppose to be upset with him for resorting to violence or getting suspended, but I’m not. Not even a little bit.

Davis explains that the school "did nothing" to discipline the bully for his behaviors, which included threatening to beat up Drew and his friends, making fun of him, filming him, and sharing threats via text, voicemails and on social media.

For years the school has failed Drew.

When this kid has constantly threatened to beat Drew up along with several of his friends, the school did nothing.

When this kid followed Drew down the hall threatening him and making fun of him AND it was all captured on video, the school did nothing.

When other kids told teachers and administrators that this kid was threatening Drew, the school did nothing.

When this kid took to social media, voicemails, and texting threats, the school did nothing.

When this kid threatened Drew over and over in every class they have together. The school did nothing.
