I walked past the house of a family who I do know but not terribly well and I am aware there middle daughter is being bullied.

outside was a group of girls looking in through their window shouting and jeering and swearing. I know the mum works some afternoons so I did intervien and tell the group of girls to leave them alone and move away from the house...in hindsight a bit silly of me as I did have my 5 yr old dd with me, but I wasn't in any way afraid forour safety or anything. Turns out the mum was home and she also then came out. They took the message and went away, but then followed me up the street shouting and swearing and berating me. It was laughable really but attempted to call non emergency police no just to show the little shits they can get away with behaving like this, but my bloody mobile died on me.

Anyway I have been trying to call the school since 3.30 and no one has been available to take my call, and have just now been told all senior management staff left at 4.15 and receptionist cant locate any other teaching staff. no one will be in over half term. now I m shocked that the head did not pick up his answer messages before leaving the school for a whole week, I had left one message at 3.30 and one at 4pm. I find it hard to even believe the head of a secondary school would even finish at 4.15.

Im tempted to call the non emergancy no again to give the message to the school this not acceptable, but Im sure this is very little the police would even be able to do.

also I want to say bunch of little bitches how horrible for a group of girls to behave like this!!!!!

Have you emailed the school with the info yet tomhardyismydh I know you felt it was important they got all the facts whilst they were still fresh in your mind.

Perhaps you could send them the link to this thread as well...then they can understand how upset you are.

the poor kids canrt have fallouts with out being labelled these days. they are learning still how to manage emotions,but being labelled bully isnt helpful in a lot of cases (no,no,not talking about this case tomhardy!!)

Yup but these disputes involve people on other people's private property shouting through windows?

We'd be saying that adults were out of order for doing this - why not teens?
Poorkids are following the OP up the road for 'interfering'.

YesterdaysPants · 27/05/2011 20:27

Thing is OP, in a big secondary school there will be literally dozens of messages left for the head and senior staff, along with everyone else, every single day. They have to switch off at some point, otherwise they'd be there all night. I promise you that the head will have numerous really serious child protection issues which will be preying on her mind, bullying issues within school, exam issues and about a gazillion other things too. She will have a huge and ongoing to-do list. Why do you think the school is some sort of call-centre? It will get dealt with, but not during the holidays, only essential loose threads will by tied before leaving today.

I work in a secondary school and the answer phone goes on 4.30pm and I go home as do the admin staff.

For all you know, there may have been an SLT meeting or outside meetings that the Head had to go to - just because he is not there does not mean he has gone home.

If you had of spoken to me, I would have said to you that I would refer it on and in the meantime call the police and when I say refer it on, it would be to the deputy, or head of year if you had given me any names of the pupils.

I am not saying that after half term nothing would be done about it because it would - if you had given names, but there isn't anything that can be done at the moment so no point in getting your knickers in a twist.

You lot clearly are drunk. I have one question- why be a teacher and then spend well earned holiday on mumsnet???

Ok- I am a teacher too and I'm on it so I had better shut up.
