Missed Opportunities

Saftey in numbers

I call Ken.
C: Allen has a black eye from the same kid that has been bullying him. Thought you would want to know.
K: Did you call the school?
C: I documented everyone I called and I have emails. Sarah just told me that there was nothing more that she could do, but the child hasn't had any disciplinary actions against him.
K: Can you send me copies of the docs as well as the emails? I will handle this.
C: Sure. Let me know, because I'm going to the school in the morning and heads will roll.
K: Let me know when. I will be with you.
C: Thank you.
K: He is my kid.
C: Thank you for being easy to co-parent with.
K: You're welcome. Thank you too.

The next morning Ken, Austin, and I showed up with bodyguards.
I walked in and sat down.
S: I hate you.
C: Didn't care then and don't care now. Fuck you and do your damn job.
Ken and Austin walk in.
S: Goodmorning Ken. Did you come to see me? I will be just a moment with these parents.
K: Actually I am Allen's father and you may call me Mr.Hamilton.
Sarah's mouth almost hit the ground.
S: Then who is that?
A: I'm Charlotte's husband. You may call me Mr. Post.
C: I'm Mrs. Post now by the way.
S: You are Post Malone.
A: Right now I am a step parent that is pissed. I have my lawyer looking into this matter as we speak and I have a reporter on stand by.
K: Don't call me from your personal phone. I have blocked you and will only discuss matters regarding my children Allen and Andrew Hamiltion.
S: I didn't know they were your children.
K: They are. If you do not care about them I do not care about you.
S: We made love last night.
K: No. I fucked you last night, because I needed a release. I made sure you didn't get off.
Sarah started to cry.

Charlotte whispered into my ear.
C: There is the asshole I know.

A: Fix this or I will.
K: I had already called her supervisor. He walked in as we left.
Allen was in the office with a bloody nose. I grabbed him and barged into her office.
C: Look at him. He is not safe here. I lifted his shirt and showed the child size hand prints on his back. I'M FUCKING DONE. AUSTIN CALL HIM.
When we leave I realize I forgot my bag. I go back in. The bully is in the office with his father.

I look over.
C: Dale how are you?
D: I've been better. I'm not sure what is going on right now. The superintendent called to tell me my child was bullying a child and they had proof.

The kid looked like he was about to puke.

C: He is and I don't throw that word around lightly. Here are some pictures of what he did yesterday, and today he busted his nose. Did Sarah call you at all?

D: No. I wish she would have. They had a fight one time.
C: This is over the past 2 months. If I knew he was yours I would have called day one.
D: I'm sorry. Do you have any medical bills? I will pay them and if he does anything call me please. Sarah and I are going to have a talk. He should have consequences I just don't understand.

Austin walks in.

A: Hey princess you have been gone a while I just want to make sure you are ok.
C: This is the boy that has been beating on Allen.
C: His dad and I were having a talk.
A: Oh.
D: You're Post Malone.
A: Austin and please be quiet.
B: I love your song circles.
A: If you don't stop being mean to Allen you won't be allowed to listen to my music.
B: I'm sorry it will never happen again.
D: Is Allen your son?
A: No.
Ken and Allen walk in.
B: I'm so sorry Allen please forgive me I will never hit you or be mean to you again please tell Post Malone to let me listen to his music.
D: Ken, you're the boy's father. I'm so sorry man I had no idea what was going on. If it happens again, call me. Please.
The superintendent opened the door to Sarah's office.
I: Everyone, come in, we are going to settle this now. It has come to my attention that Sarah has nogletic to protect this child and discipline this one. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Also for the documentation needed to fire her.
Young man, you are suspended for 10 days. When you come back if you hit this boy or anyone else I will expel you. Dale, were you ever notified of a problem.
D: No, Sir.
I: I need you to write that down for me.
Also, Mr. Post, your lawyer contacted me. Please let him know I fired Sarah and I am looking for her replacement. I hope this satisfies everyone and we can move forward. Sarah before you leave please tell me why you did nothing to help this young man.
S: I hate his mother.
I lunged at her and Austin caught me.
I: I will be calling other school districts Sarah find another occupation.
Everyone left. On our way out Sarah was beside her car. She had 3 Slashed tires. Diamonté got out of our car.
D: Is this him? Is this his dad?
A: Everything has been taken care of.
B: You are Saweetie. I Love your music.
D: Little boy if you ever hit my baby again I will stop making music and tell everyone that it is your fault.
B: No. I will never hit him again.
