It is a parent’s worst nightmare to discover their child is being targeted, but one K9 handler recently found herself in a uniquely infuriating situation. After dealing with a childhood bully for years as a teen, she discovered that the same woman had seemed to set her sights on her six-year-old son. Sharing her side of the tale, she wrote that the situation escalated to the point where the bully allegedly spread rumors that the young boy had rabies because she works with dogs.
The Reddit user, u/oldmangeralt, whose r/advice story was later shared on r/BestofRedditorUpdates, explained that her son is a gentle soul who recently became friends with the bully’s son. Despite a gut feeling, she said she allowed the friendship to bloom, only to find out that the other woman was, according to her, orchestrating a campaign of harassment.
