So , this has led to him now being threatened by the kid and some of his buddies, and now , he is kind of the target of the floor of the dorms . He says , people are spreading rumours about him , and harrassing him . He told me he is scared .
I tried to have a heart to heart with him, and mentioned that my policy has always been that no good comes from snitching about anything.
Unless you have taken some sort of oath , hold a public office , or some ones well being is at stake, its not your place, mind you bidness , keep your head down, shoulders up , and stay focused on your own path . Everything else is just background noise .
Whats your policy? if you see something , do you say something, or keep a blind eye and move on ?
Another one of those societal ethics quandries

That is the entire crux of the situation.
If your son will be kicked out of school because of the actions of others, it is his place, it is his bidness. Hard to focus on your own path when someone is digging pit traps in front of you. Those that do deserve a rifle butt to the forehead.
If that's not the case, then yeah, none of his business.
