My dd is 12 and in Y7, she was diagnosed with PTSD 2.5 years ago after witnessing the attempted suicide of her father. She had months of counselling, which we have had to pay privately for, and we dip back into when needed. She still suffers with low self esteem, depression and severe anxiety.
She went from a very small primary into large secondary last September.
All went quite well until November when she was targeted by bullies. This was handled very badly by school, since my complaint about that the deputy head has taken overseeing the guidance team.
Things ticked along for a few months, although dd has hated going in and I have had to take her in every morning as she doesn't like the school bus.
Mid May she is targeted by girl in the original group of bullies. She got a group of girls together to target my dd it was observed by a teacher and picked up on cctv.
This incident was taken seriously and dealt with swiftly, but the only punishment handed out to this girl was that her parents were informed. I was told if it happened again senior management would be involved.
My dd has been off since Tuesday with a bad cold and obviously stress and doesn't want to go back.
Nobody talks to her and this bully has a hold over everyone!
My dd wants to be HE and I am happy to do that, but am worried if it doesn't work out where to send her next. Two local schools are failing and the good are ones oversubscribed.
Help please!!!
