I don’t believe you’re over-reacting doubleplay. Your son repeatedly demanded his phone back, and those boys going through his personal messages was way out of line. At that point, he wasn’t left with a lot of options. It’s too bad that your son couldn’t get help from an adult, but that would just make him subject to future harassment and bullying, and that’s exactly what was going on. A punch in the arm seems to have solved the problem. I hope nothing comes of it, but you’ve gotten very good advice on how to handle it.
