A little bully: Advice please.

[Helmet Cole]

Whatever you teach him about how to deal with it, make sure you tell your kid that the other is an idiot, what he's doing will get him in trouble, and he's making his own life worse. Tell your kid you know that he wouldn't act like that, because he knows what's right or wrong, and you're proud of that.

Best advice so far.

tell your little chap to wait ten years then post some revenge porn with either 1) him with the bully's girlfriend 2) you with the bully's mother or 3) a combo of 1)+ 2)

It's more of a longer term strategy, though I'm sure one that will bear fruit in the fullness of time.

Or photoshop a picture of him with his arm around Van Gaal.

It's a tough one to answer, but it sounds as if your lads are not particularly aggressive, and are unlikely to get away with "giving it back" as other posts have suggested. This is pretty much what I was like as a kid, and I got bullied by an older kid around the local estate from time to time from when I was about 9 until I was 11 or 12 (when I grew). I never fought back, because I saw what he did to kids who fought back, but I slowly learned to talk my way out of it at least half the time, and standing up to the bully by not running away or fighting back or showing I was scared seemed to work.... and if I'm honest, it's done me good in later life, as I still never give in to workplace bullies, can talk my way out of most situations or know how to avoid most of the awkward ones, have self-respect that is not linked in any way to what other people think, and can look after myself without resorting to being violent. So, as long as this doesn't get out of hand (in other words stays at small-time stuff like you describe), tell your lads to stand-up to it, take it as it comes, find out how to avoid it if they can, and just don't let the bully get their kicks from bullying them.

Bingo, my kids a goodun.
He knows the drill and he knows I'm impressed with his behaviour in an unpleasant situation.
Doesn't seem fair that other kids should suffer.

As someone else pointed out correctly not everyone is a fighter nor am I.

Don't see any need and I don't want my kids to unless its truly called for.

Go to the park with a camcorder and start videoing the kids hoping to catch the bully doing it...

oh hang on...

that's not going to work is it.....?

I Would pay all the other kids to beat him up haha.

In all seriousness, the very thought of anything like that happening with my little boy scares me. I would not be able to control myself and would just drop the ****. And if his mum wanted a go she would get a crack too for raising a little shithead.

move to a more civilised neighbourhood.

You said that the kids were aged up to 16.

Cant you have a word with one of the older kids to keep an eye on things or maybe drop the bully?
