Am I being over protective to be annoyed by school today

My DS is 4, and started reception this year, the school is great and I am happy with it in general. I was upset today though as DS came home from school in another pair of trousers and said it was because he hadn't made it to the loo in time and had wet himself...so no big deal and all fine I thought. When I bathed him just then he was wearing the trousers and school pants but over the top of his wet pants, he says that the teaching assistant gave him the trousers and pants and took him to the loo but then some year six's came in, so she asked them to help him. They then started a game throwing his trousers to each other and down the loo and laughing. So he said he put the new pants and trousers on himself. So he sat in a wet pair of pants for the rest of the day, which must have been horrible. So I am annoyed that firstly they didn't check he was ok changing himself out of wet clothes (he's only 4.5 ) and secondly that they asked some year 6 boys to do it, the whole situation just sounds a bit mean to me, with them laughing and throwing his trousers around and I am annoyed by it. Do you think I am being over protective about this. DS seems oblivious to it and doesn't seem to have found any it upsetting!!

Your poor wee ds :(

How'd you get on at the school?

My school would take this very seriously indeed!

Be careful.

Although I'm sure that your little boy didn't make this up, you should be prepared that the other people involved might have a different story and your DS will be disbelieved.

Make sure when talking to your boy that you don't ask leading questions or 'suggest' things to him, as they may lead to his story being doubted later.

YANBU. That is the TA's job not the Year 6s!!!! Blimey, if I have to be CRB checked befopre helping in school, and I'm not even allowed to take kids to the loo, Year 6 boys shouldn't be either! And in our school the diff Key Stages have separate loos.

I am interested to know has there been any update since you spoke to the school about this OP?

Gosh, your poor DS. This would never happen at DS's school and it's really really wrong

How did you get on at the school?
If this happened as your DS is saying than that is totally unacceptable.
