I feel absolutely devastated for my lovely sweet natured daughter. It turns out the bruises on her body were not accidental, but that 2 boys in her reception class have been abusing her together regularly since the start of reception. We raised concerns about physical bullying like regular pushing from one of them but nothing was done. Now months later it turns out they have also been innappropriately touching her in an unobserved part of the playground. This includes one putting his fingers in her pants whilst the other kicks her legs or holds her arms. They told her they would kill her or her mummy and daddy if she told anyone. She's been too scared to say anything believing their threats to kill her. There's other stuff she won't tell me. <br><br>They've used her love of babies and parties to say appalling things to her, about babies, whilst touching her; they have also told her she must not make friends, again with threats. She has become socially isolated and often plays on her own. It all makes sense now. Myself and husband each spoke several times to our daughters teacher / TA but our concerns were not properly acted on.<br><br>They've pinched her hard on her stomach leaving round bruises ( I really regret not investigating these); dug their fingers hard under her ribs. <br><br>The 2 perpetrators confessed after we reported this to the Head. I feel sickened at what they have got away with. I realise there are safeguarding issues etc etc but the Protective Mother instinct wants the boys suspended and some repercussions. <br><br>I will get her checked out by her GP next week and ask about an educational psychology referral to try and help her. I thought that our impending house move was the reason for her seeming anxious at times. We have found a really good caring new school for her.<br><br> In her last few weeks at her current school I wonder what can be done to make her feel better about things. I have my own ideas but would welcome ideas from those who have experienced anything similar.
