AIBU to want to hurt this child although I wont?

[LadyPenny]

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 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?

How is your Ds taking the police involvement?

Reading with my jaw on the floor!What the hell is going on in schools ?

Yay! So glad this is getting sorted. I am perpetually shocked by what the police think doesn't require investigation, and what a school deems appropriate punishment!

The things I'd do! Poor you and your poor child!

Bloody well done OP.

Don't the police ever consider how their reluctance to get involved with serious assailants like this just because it was in a school makes it more common. If the thug who does this kind of thing gets practically no punishment from the school and totally no police involvement how is he ever going to learn. He's got away with it with no consequences, he'll more than likely do it again. No wonder these kind of mindless attacks are so common.
What strange policies the police have these days.
