Feeling bad
Bullying
My son was being bullied,he got along very well with his class mates and was voted class captain last year,then comes a new student, he has made my child's life hell in the play ground, I have rang the school a few times only to be told they will deal with it and thanks for letting them know,my child came home from school with a golf ball size lump on the back of his head and a ripped shirt,I only found this out when my son came home from school,it saddens me that I had to ring the school to find out what happened,I rang at 3.30 to be told everyone was in a meeting, I did get a call back at 5.45pm to say that the child in question had been suspended for 3 days and his parents had offered to buy my son a new top,so much to take in, I have changed my sons to a new school with the help of my Ex, they are doing so well,feeling bad that I didn't pick up on how unhappy they both where at school? They are different boy's now, they are so happy and love school,
My friends are saying that I should have taken this further so other kids will not go through what my son did,yes I am very happy they don't have to deal with this child,but feel for the other kids that will,this child was the son of one of the teachers? Feeling I should have pressed charges, but was happy to remove my son away from this situation.

You looked after your kids and that is all you needed to do. You did great. Nothing to feel bad about because when you found out what was going on you acted.
My niece (8) was bashed at school on friday by 2 boys the same age.. the school neglected to notify my sister. She had to go to the office and ask them when she picked her up. Nothing was done besides a talking to which included my niece (because she hit back defending herself) and were all told they were lucky to not get lunch time detention. When my sister asked what they planned to do about it she was told they were too busy organising their fete which was that night and they'd look more into it this week. We're so disgusted, and i feel your pain. You have done the best thing you could do by removing your children. Of you feel you should have done more than maybe take it higher than the school??
