14 DAY TRIAL // A Wisconsin father filed a restraining order against a 5-year-old kindergartener after his daughter complained that she was being bullied at school.
When Brian Metzger saw that the measures taken by her daughter's school to prevent bullying were not enough, he decided to do something. He filed a police report and took out the temporal restraining order after his daughter was allegedly threatened and attacked by a 5-year-old boy at Prairie Lane Elementary School in Kenosha County.
“She came home and said a student threatened her by saying, ‘I want to slit your throat and watch you bleed,’” Metzger told WISN.
The disgruntled father also said the boy pushed his daughter around on the playground and threw rocks at her on various occasions.
Initially, he complained about the boy's behavior to school officials, but when they failed to act, he decided to take legal action in an attempt to protect his daughter from the aggressive infant.
“I think they should have done something a lot sooner. They've kept him in the same classroom with my daughter throughout this until Wednesday morning because Tuesday night I showed up with a restraining order,” Metzger said. “What they're doing, their policies aren't good enough.”
Metzger said his girl didn't want to go to kindergarten anymore, adding that he would keep fighting to see the bully expelled from the school district.
