A bullying fine?

The point is, what I did "worked" because they left me alone but I'm not sure I'd tell my kids that was the best way to go about things.

I told my son after he was bullied once...and only once...that I never want him to start a fight but he sure as hell can end it.

I said if the kid tried it again (he had laid his hands on him) to kick him right in the groin as hard as he could (the other kids was bigger).  I asked if he knew where that was and he answered in the affirmative.

As it turned out the kid never bothered him again anyway so I don't know what the one incident was about.  I know his mother and he's friends with my nephew so it was weird to begin with.
