yeah I am torn about this bc the bully does need to go to school. And if LW can feasibly do it as a help to the bully's mom I can see this being a help for her. But I also see it as something that looks like (to other families) as condoning what the bully did. And also associating LW's kid with the bully. Can the kid walk or take public transit? maybe. maybe not. (oof I remember the over an hour rides on the bus of my youth. and I know my family now drops kids off bc 20 mins driving is less time than the hour bus ride) And while I am not a fan of Lyft or Uber, perhaps that is also an option for the bully. But maybe it isn't.

If I was LW and was friends with the mom, I would ask her about how she is handling the bullying on her end. Not in a judgmental way, but to see if there are repercussions from home. Bc if this kid wasn't getting repercussions and the mom was all "boys will be boys" about it I would NOT feel comfortable helping her out. But if there were consequences and all she needed was the bully to get to school bc of her job I probably would help her out.
