Family comes first for Jim, so when his grandson Oliver came home bullied, he knew he had to act. “What happened, Ollie?” Jim asked. Oliver, muddy and tear-streaked, just shook his head. Jim’s wife, Matilda, was also worried. “Ollie, sweetheart, tell us what happened,” she said.

Oliver eventually revealed that some boys, led by Simon, had pushed him into a muddy pothole and called him names. “I don’t want to go to school anymore, Grandpa,” Oliver cried. Jim’s anger grew. “Spill it, son. We ain’t going anywhere until you tell us what these tears are all about,” he growled.

Jim decided to confront the bullies. He called his old friend Billy, a cop, and set a plan in motion. When Simon and his gang showed up at the parking lot, Jim played along, pretending to be vulnerable. As they bullied him, Billy captured everything on camera. “Your little performance is all on camera,” Jim told the boys, revealing Billy’s presence.

The boys apologized to Oliver. Jim told them, “From now on, you boys will come here every week. Show me your grades and join in some sports activities.” The boys agreed, and eventually, they became friends with Oliver. Jim’s tough love had turned bullies into allies.
