Fed up: Protective father Stephen Feuder, of Fairfield, says that taking a restraining out against a nine-year-old bully was the only thing left to do to help his son

Feuder says both the school, Rolling Hills Elementary, and the school district, Fairfield-Suisun School District, failed to help him with the problem, so we he went to the police

Feuder claims further he was stonewalled by the Fairfield-Suisun School District, who refused to do anything.

So he took matters into his own hands and called the police.

'I’ve tried everything else, so why not that, and it was granted,' he said.

Daryl Snedeker with the Solano County Sheriff’s Department says he’s never heard of a restraining order against a grade-school student.

'Commonly for us, it’s a domestic violence situation,' he said.

'Obviously this is a little different.

'I guess as a parent, you have to do what you have to do.'



Which is exactly what Feuder says he had to do to protect his son.

Local Sheriff's Deputy Daryl Snedeker said he has never heard of a restraining order being taken out against an elementary school student, but that it is definitely possible

He hopes the move will send out a message that could help other kids in the future.

'It was my last resort, and I’m glad I did it,' he said.

'Not only for my son, but for the rest of the children.'

However not everyone agrees.

Local mother Lacie Stover said it sends out the wrong message.
