Sorry this is long but I need to vent here or I may do or say something I might regret!
!My DD has been having problems on the school bus since beginning of new term with a girl who lives near us.
Unfortunately they do not have a chaperone on this bus so it sounds like a free-for-all by all accounts with some choice language being spouted most of the time.
However one girl has targeted my DD and another girl - none of whom knew each other before September. She had been slapped in the face more than once, had her hair pulled, her bag tipped all over the floor and then there's the swearing and general intimidating behaviour.
This girl has family problems to say the least but I cannot have my DD being the scapegoat for whatever problems they have.
I have spoken to her guardian - as I'd met her briefly and knew where thy lived - and this girl cried a lot of crocodile tears and a lot of excuses were thrown into the mix (by both girl and her guardian). None of which matter to me tbh.
I thought we had resolved it after a fashion yet first day back after half term today and it's as if that conversation never happened.
She is a very articulate girl and appears manipulative of adults around her. She actually said to one of the other girls "you know I have lots of problems" FFS!
My first instinct is to charge round there again but now I've written it all out I think I'll be speaking to school tomorrow instead.
AIBU to expect them to deal with this despite it being on the bus and not in school?
