Wtf is wrong with people when it comes to hidden disabilities?

WHAT about the other 29 kids? No child should go to school to be hurt. If it was in the workplace it would not be allowed so why is it in school?

If exposure to this environment is beyond her capabilities then she shouldn’t be there

You are mental. Beyond her capabilities of being hurt by a child twice her size because emmm well SEN?

It may be the best and least “triggering” environment for them. It may be the only way to access better provision or it may simply be the place they learn to do better in time.

I agree with you, if this is about the post yesterday about the hair pulling, yes it was absolutely the carers fault.

I have attended about 12 meetings, so have the other parents whose children are being hurt. They keep saying their hands are tied and the parents of the child hurting others have admitted that they will continue sending their child in because it is their right and if he gets bad enough something will have to be done. This is honestly not an isolated case. It's happening in so many schools.

You sent your child to a mainstream school. She will be in a class with disabled people, people of different race, religion, and class, people who have been abused, damaged, and deprived, people who are in care and people who are wealthy and pampered, that’s what mainstream is. If exposure to this environment is beyond her capabilities then she shouldn’t be there.

"The school's hands are tied because they are waiting for provisions to be made and in the meantime my child has changed from a happy little girl to an upset and anxious one."

If this child is targeting your daughter, I don't buy that there is nothing the school can do.

Yes, all parents have a duty of care to their children and sending them in where they get triggered and affect 29 other kids is not in anyone's best interests.

You are joking, right? Surely.

You ask the school what they are doing to keep your DC safe. They should be keeping all DC safe. They should be putting strategies in place.

She was, she was fine, so happy and bubbly, she is not now and she is not the only one. I have spoken to her about moving schools but the nearest is 20 miles away and she is afraid she won't have any friends. Why should I have to change her whole life because of one child?

All parents have a duty of care to their children. If you knowingly send your child to a setting that is on balance damaging them, surely by any measure you are failing that child. Presumably each parent weighs this up for themselves, and there’s no way of knowing who will be in dcs next class as this is mainstream school (that is it is for everyone).

My child is not being damaged by being at this school she is being damaged because a violent child is at this school.

Why should the victim be the one taken out of school? @Downtoearthandsinksthesun has said her daughter was previously little girl so presumably was happy at the school.

Same reason the other 29 children are still there. They get hurt too.

You stated your child was being damaged by being at this school. Why is she still there?

Are all the parents whom this child hurts expected to do the same?

Soo I take my child out of the only school within miles, take her away from her friends because another child in her class hurts her? Are you for real.

What you do is take your child out of school surely?

I agree. And the post op is talking about is a girl who had her hair twisted and pulled very hard twice. Not acceptable. At all.

It also doesn't happen, like in my case and many others on here. There are threads and threads about it. People just like me who are at their wits end trying to manage to keep our children safe. The child still comes in every day and does the same thing. The school's hands are tied because they are waiting for provisions to be made and in the meantime my child has changed from a happy little girl to an upset and anxious one.
In regard to the parents of this child, they KNOW what their child is doing and have the attitude if it gets bad enough, something will have to be done. So my child suffers.

"Ask the majority of the people on here whose children have been hurt if this happens. It doesn't because there is not enough specialist settings and all kids have a right to be educated."

It definitely does happen. Children with SEND are more likely to be excluded from mainstream than children without SEND, both those without EHCPs and those with EHCPs.

Of course you do so why send a child that you know is violent and hurting others daily into school?

And in the meantime? You knowingly send your child into school where you know they are hurting others? How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot? Which in fact does happen to ND kids who get bullied a lot. Could you cope with your child coming home bloodied?

I think you'll find we all want our children to be safe at school, nt or otherwise.
