Convert it to an adult situation. if a colleague used your workplace to ostentatiously hand out invitations inviting all but one or two people, it could be quite properly construed as bullying. An employer would have to act if a complaint was made.

If someone did it to me, I'd be offended, right up to the moment I kicked them in the nuts.

If this goes to court and the birthday kid is forced to invite the other two all that proves is that the State now interferes in playground politics. A child can no longer decide who is and isn't a friend? That smacks of PC gone mad. Will their parents still take them to a party knowing they are not wanted there, with a certain guarantee of ridicule from the other children awaiting them?. And if this is about “human rights“ then where stand the rights of the child to invite who the hell he wants to his party.

Worse still though, it makes a mockery of serious Human rights' violations. Being interned, beaten and tortured is a violation of human rights. Not getting an invite to a birthday party is hardly comparable.

True it is not a nice experience for any child whether this act of vindictiveness was carried out on the childs or parents part, but we know how cruel kids can be when it comes to politics of the classroom. If the parents put him up to it then for shame but it should be kept in proportion even at that.

Kids are usually far better than adults at working out their differences in a few days or weeks – they move on, they’re very busy people who don’t tend to bear grudges for too long.

However when adults and the State start making a mountain out of a molehill they might just turn these youngsters into bitter people a lot sooner than life will.

Apparently all but two of the children in the class received invitations.

Isolation and exclusion are classic bullying techniques, and it seems that in this case the school was being used to isolate those two children.

It doesn't matter what the reasons were. No school could tolerate being used like that, and if it was done to a child of mine I'd be extremely annoyed.

If the birthday boy or his parents didn't want to invite these kids, they should have sent the invitations by post or delivered them some other way. You can't have a classroom being used to humiliate certain children.

It seems to me that the parents are small-minded, vindictive fuckers who are passing on their miserable ways to their child.

"An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.

The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.

The school, in Lund argues that if invitations are handed out on school premises then it must ensure there is no discrimination.

The boy's father has lodged a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman.

He says the two children were left out because one did not invite his son to his own party and he had fallen out with the other one.

The boy handed out his birthday invitations during class-time and when the teacher spotted that two children had not received one the invitations were confiscated."

………For fuck's sake, is that all these pricks have to worry about.

Deferred Achievers.

I ask you.

ya'll should a told her to quit gettin' her knickers in a knot…it's offensive to you!
