This is a long & complicated story so will try & summarise. During the summer holds dd1 who's 13 had a lot of trouble with a lad round the corner. It started off with name calling but then finished up with him chasing her across the field near us with a penknife. We got the police involved although nothing happened. It all kicked off again 2 weeks ago when he grabbed her in the street & pushed her into a hedge & said he was going to turn his attentions to ds1 who's 7. DH went round to speak to his dad. His dad was a bit useless but said he would speak to him. Since then his 2 elder sisters are now out to get dd1. 1 of them goes to the same school, 1 goes to the school next door.
DD1 rang dh on Tues night in tears to say they were waiting to get her outside school. DH went & picked her up.
Same thing tonight except dh was at work so dd went back into school & told a teacher who said its not our problem call the police if you're that bothered which dd did. I was at work & about died to get a phone call from the local pc. He was really nice & said they would go to the school as they should be doing something not passing the buck to the police.
To cut a long story short the school have come up with the "solution" that dd is to finish school 20 mins earler to avoid these girls.
I am fuming. Am I being unreasonable, am very tempted to go to the school tomorrow but dont know whether I'm being unreasonable. The school said they would speak to the girl at same school tomorrow & see what she says - as if she's going to own up to it
