Your son and his friends need to speak to the teacher and/or the principal and complain. it sounds like the 12 year old really needs a friend.

Report it to the school administration and demand that they do something about it or if it happens again they will be sued. That will get someone's attention in a hurry.

You need to contact the school administration immediately. That is the first place to start. Next file a police report if the school cannot resolve the issue.

Sorry, I believe the 12-year old. Regardless, even if your son's story is true, why won't they play with him? Even if it isn't bullying, it is anti-social behavior. Your best bet is to talk with the teach and the school administration.

Go down to the school and ask for a meeting with the principal or vice principal, and tell him or her about the problem. If you do not get satisfaction, go over his or her head to the superintendent of the county school system where this occurred.

I would talk to the principal, the school resource officer and the juvenile authorities.

I don't see anything in your narrative that qualifies as harassment, and I doubt the police will want to get involved.
