"If you talk to my @@ anymore I will come and get you !

upsetting yr3 child so much, that Head has to call horrid woman in to have a word.

Happend to one of my dds classmates, who is a very nice child.

Don't know cicumstances, but I think whatever they are, they are quite unreasonable behaviour for an adult to say to an 8 yr old.

I would really like to know what the little girl did to be honest or what 'horrid mother' thinks she did

Wishwotz... I'm with you in saying that the behaviour of this woman was totally unreasonable but... please also do check what the child did do to attract such inacceptable behaviour. Unfortunately, a small number of parents are at their wits end with bullying, please check she is not one of them.

Obviously, she should be talked into reason, but if said child is making another child very upset, it is important that that situation is also solved too.

There was a thread about something like this a year ago, we all simpathised with the mum just to realise later the woman had a gang of violent bullying offspring who had even got as far as punching other children and breaking the other child's teeth. Obviously I'm not saying this is the case here, but please double check there is not an underlying issue at the bottom of this situation.

its patently totally out of order

my sister did something similar though to a child she knew well who was constantly tormenting her DS and basically making his life miserable with verbal, sneaky taunts .. she went into the playground and hissed "If you ever dare be mean to xxx again you will have me to deal with"

funnily enough the bullying stopped

I don't condone what she did, but I do know she was at the end of her tether

I'm sure this situation is totally different

Horrid mum's little child came in this year to the class. I have had her child to play, she is OK. Didn't say much to the mum TBH. Now I want to give her a good slap.

little child is so scared now when she sees this horrid woman in the playground waiting to collect her children. Mum says she doesn't know what to do.

Has knocked girls confidence and she doesn't want to go to school. Luckily summer break.

Mother who is also nice is so cross and mortified that this woman has said something.

Hasn't spoken to the other mother about it. Avoiding her 'casue she is cross.
