To make formal complaint to school about son in a&e again?

[Stylelostinlabour]

My son has been injuried twice in the last two months by the same boy at school and on both these occassion ended up in a&e for suspected broken bones - now my son is a solid rugby playing 9 year old and hard to move so the force and agression to hurt him must have been something else.

How do I go about making this a more formal complaint - the boy that hurt him has lost a play time but i feel that is a weak punishment or am I over reacting?

Bloody hell YANBU

If it happens again (and it probably will, it sounds as if this boy is targetting your son) I'd call the police frankly. This is assault at best and quite possibly ABH/GBH at worst. The school will be shitting themselves if you get the police involved but it may well be your best hope to be honest.

Definitely NBU.

Good luck, and hope your son is OK!

Isn't it a safeguarding issue ? Your ds has the right to spend his time at school safe and protected there should be a published policy . Ask the school (Head, Safe Guarding officer) what actions they intend to take in future to prevent the incidents and go to Governors/LA/Ofsted if still unhappy. It sounds as if the other child may have some issues (maybe behavioural , SEN, lack of boundaries ?) which obviously cannot be discussed with you, however if so they are failing him as much as your ds .

Hope he recovers well.

Police may not be able to help. The DS is 9, so I would not assume the other child is over the age of criminal responsibility.

You say you have a meeting with the head, so I agree with others about keeping to the facts and asking what they intend to do to keep your DS safe. And definitely make sure it's all in writing, if you have to do it yourself.

Another thing, don't try to talk to the other mum. It could get nasty. Keep it all via the school.

YANBU.

The school need to deal with this promptly. Make them deal with it!

Do not confront the parents voice of experience talking.
