AIBU to want to hurt this child although I wont?

DS is in year 10. Today I got a call from his Head of Year to tell me he had been beaten up by another pupil.
It was all caught on CCTV and after viewing that and making further investigations the school have said ds was in no way responsible. The other child's parents have been informed and he is being included in school. Ds was tackled to the ground then punched several times. HoY said it was a very nasty attack. Most of the blows landed to the side of his head so no obvious marks and ds seems ok.

That's all great. I am happy with how it's being dealt with.

BUT....... I want to track down the brat, rip his arms out and beat him with the bloody stumps Blush I really do. My stomach is churning. Somebody dared to hurt my precious child for no reason.

Obviously I wont do anything but I am really shocked at the strengh of my feelings. Ive never been in this situation, is it normal to feel like this, or am I a very U crazy loon mother?

AnotherManicMonday · 09/02/2015 17:13

I can completely understand why you feel like this and like you said you obviously won't, hole your DS is okay

MrsGeorgeMichael · 09/02/2015 17:13

yanbu to feel that way but to be fair i feel sorry for other child as well. what sort of live do they have?
hope your ds ok

PtolemysNeedle · 09/02/2015 17:14

YANBU.

TheFecklessFairy · 09/02/2015 17:14

I would speak to the school...........then tell them you are going to speak to the Police. Perhaps a severe warning from a copper might (I say might!) just persuade the little sod to keep his hands to himself?

CitronVert · 09/02/2015 17:14

YANBU I've wanted to do the same for less (think nasty tween girls ignoring and excluding my sensitive DD cause she didn't fit their golden swishy hair stereotypes)

I hope your DS feels better soon and his attacker gets properly punished for it by schools and his parents Flowers

What was the child's punishment?

MrsGeorgeMichael · 09/02/2015 17:16

life ffs

Singleandproud · 09/02/2015 17:16

YANBU also keep an eye on him it can take over a week for concussion to appear if he was punched in the head.

TheFecklessFairy · 09/02/2015 17:17

And even more Shock

MrsGeorgeMichael · 09/02/2015 17:17

in my opinion kids who do that have shit homes and don't know any better fairy

Seriouslyffs · 09/02/2015 17:18

It's scary isn't it, how violently we can hate those who've hurt our beloved.

whatsthatcomingoverthehill · 09/02/2015 17:18

Sometimes people are just shits, kids or not, and the default assumption shouldn't be that there is some background that made them like that.

Sianilaa · 09/02/2015 17:18

With CCTV footage of someone assaulting my son, I'd be calling the police personally. School won't like it but if it was a stranger on the street who'd beat him up, the police would be involved.

QueenInTheNorth · 09/02/2015 17:19

I would be reporting it to the police. No reasons for physical violence ever!

MrsGeorgeMichael · 09/02/2015 17:19

what are you shocked by fairy?

agree with police comment btw

TheFecklessFairy · 09/02/2015 17:20

So I am supposed to feel sorry for them, am I MrsGeorge. Like fuck - I actually protect my own. When I've done that I might just, just, let my heard bleed a couple of drops for the other little fecker!!!

Come back when YOUR child is lying on the settee with a black eye, swollen lip and bleeding from a head wound. I bet you don't think the same them!

You need to call the police

Your poor son, and poor you

LovelyBranches · 09/02/2015 17:22

YANBU, I have a 3 month old and feel protective feelings I didn't know existed before. What you must feel when someone has actively hurt your ds must be unbelievable.

Hope he's ok

ScotsWhaHae · 09/02/2015 17:22

How old is year 10?

Absolutely awful and you can feel as angry as you want.
