You have a child that is being physically bullied by a larger child. This kid is sending your kid home with scars and bruises every day. Your kid tries to defend himself but the bully is too big and strong. BUT in your case you have another Son/Daughter that is closer to the bullies age and can "TAKE" Him/Her! Would you let Big Brother/Big Sister humble the bully or call the bullies parents or authorities?
Please don't drag BS politics in this discussion!!

10 years ago I would say send in the reinforcements. These days, with zero tolerance and law suits, I would go to both the parents and the school. Drop the word "law suit" and "the evening news" at the school and you'd probably get action.

I would Call his Parents/ authorities

This is one of the main reasons my son in in Martial Arts, because I know he will be able to defend himself.

If it was happening after, or near school, I would talk to the school first. If nothing changes, I would then go to the parents, if nothing still changed, I would press assault charges.

I don't feel that letting Big Sister or Brother handle the problem is setting a good example, because you are basically doing the same thing, allowing a larger child to take on a smaller one and that does not send a good example.

Family should stick together. Calling parents on these issues has turned our nation into a bunch of pansies.

It take more to walk away from a fight than to fight. I would sit down with my child and explain that life it not easy and that bully will in the future be coming to them for a job. At that time you can decide to turn the other cheek and hire them or turn them away.

not "Other" BOTH... the problem is that the only thing that bullies learn from is a good knocking down... however the world we live in with all this political correct crap makes it a dangerous propersion for the other siblings to get involved....
O would suggest strongly that the older children look after the younger and defend family always but I would be on teh phone so fast to teh authorities and teh parents and I would be hitiing them where it would hurt (either the walet or teh student standings)

In my youth when we played until after the lightening bugs went away, we played with everyone in the neighborhood and we knew when and where everyone was.(except Phil when we played Hide and seek) If someone like that bothered someone he bothered us all.

I would call the parents and try to talk to them, but I'm sure I wouldn't get very far in todays world, their is not respect though and I blame the parent for being sissy lala's afraid to stand for how to raise a child right., stop looking to books and the Media., stop living beyond your means have one parent home, trade off if nessisary, don't think you have to give your kids more than you had. ok man I could go on and yes I raised my girl right

Best way to deal with it. It worked great for centuries and will still work today. Plus I would get my kid into a self defense or martial arts class. Self defense classes bring faster results.

Then I would teach him how to knock his block off. I was "peaceful" till I became an adult. Then I made peace after a guy tried to run me through with a cue stick. One punch laid him out across the jukebox. Gosh that felt good.

In all honesty, it would be tempting to let the older sibling at least "scare the pants off" the bully .... but, it's probably wiser to work through the school and the authorities.

I'm sort of old school on this matter I had a granny that wouldn't tolerate bullies or being bullied. IF i was outmatched by an opponent that was out of his weight class. She would send in reinforcements!!

Restraining order follow by a lawsuit.

BTW, if you think that the so-called self-appointed "experts" are going to leave politics out of this, you sadly mistaken. Once did a post on fairy tales, nothing but political rants
