Pottawatomi County deputies served a 9-year-old boy in Shawnee with a victim protective order (VPO) while at school for allegedly stalking and harassing another classmate.

The victims mother said she had made efforts to resolve the problem but was unsuccessful. “I’m a mother that is going to move heaven or earth to say stop your violence against my child,” said Elsy Goggin, mother of the girl who is allegedly being bullied.

Lavonne McCoy said her grandson is hyperactive but denies he is a bully and fears that this will affect his future and education.

The family is now waiting t see if the boy will be allowed to return to school to finish the year.

Pottawatomi County Undersheriff Travis Dinwiddie told KFOR this was a first for him in his career, and was surprised they had to serve a 9-year-old at school. He said he made sure his parents were notified before it happened.

“We served it there because that was the address that was put on the petition by the court… It’s ordered by the courts. And so we have to serve that as officers of the court,” said Dinwiddie.

The court documents include a handwritten report by the mother of a girl in the boy’s class. In the report, she claimed her daughter is being harassed and stalked. She adds it’s been happening for months, and she’s filed several reports with police and the school.

“I had to go to this point where I said, enough is enough,” said Goggin.

That is absolutely a teaching moment for the whole school system as a whole. While everything is now "safe2tell" that system has flaws as well. Way to use a new approach to "no sir, not today; I'm not the one..." The school officials having been made aware of the bullying, stalking, and harassing situation prior, along with the failed efforts by school officials to correct the situation is absolutely what led mom to do this.

The victims mother said she had made efforts to resolve the problem but was unsuccessful. “I’m a mother that is going to move heaven or earth to say stop your violence against my child,” said Elsy Goggin, mother of the girl who is allegedly being bullied.

YESSSSS QUEEN! A little louder for those who missed it too...
Good for mom! Let's make this a thing!!
Teach them young about boundaries. AND HOW THE FUCK TO ACT towards others.
Her daughter will never question if her mom is on her side, and will always know that mom will protect her. Which is the win.

As for the boys grandma, who is (only now) worried about the the boys future and education...
MEH. Your failure to address the situation at home; after being notified by the school when it first became an issue, is when your concern for his future and education *should have* began. You *should have* addressed it way back then, and didn't ... so here we are.

So many parents these days don't teach their kids that their actions have consequences. My bff's teens are out of control- literally. And they are spoiled fucking rotten. I've been telling him for years... just wait. Now they are teens that never faced consequences (especially for their behavior at school) and who get everything they want?? Biggest yikes EVER! You as a parent, are failing to teach them real life and how to act. Soooooo....

Coming from a mom (who has never one time even spanked my kid) I swear with God as my witness; if my kid EVER spoke to me the way his kids speak to him, I would slap the sense right into him.
Actions have consequences.

This wasn't an overnight issue. It had been a problem that wasn't being corrected. Mom corrected it. Where exactly is the problem?

I am not defending or demonizing anyone. I just want to post this section from the article to clarify what the grandmother was saying @SimplySpaztastic.

The 9-year-old’s family says their child is hyperactive but is not a bully. His grandmother fears that this will affect his future and education.

“I’ve seen her at the store, and she always runs after him playing. And he tries to hide because, you know, he’s nine… I’m not sure why he’s getting in trouble for just being a child because there is nothing on here that says any type of abuse. Nobody is touching each other, you know, no hair pulling, no hitting. Its children being children, running around playing,” said McCoy.

If this is true the mother needs to tell her daughter to not give this boy any mixed messages.

Do not play with or communicate with this boy in any way.
