Rant!!!...To want to call the Police...well I'm just really angry..what the heck!!

[MistressoftheYoniverse]

My daughters wrist has been broken by a boy at school!!...I'm so angry ..he laughed while she was crying ..

only if they pay for a full training for your girl in self-defense or martial arts

It's not the girl who needs training, it's the idiot boy! Really annoyed by the attitude the girls need to make effort to protect themselves from men yet the men don't need to make an effort not to be fucking arseholes.

Report to the police before the school / parents get the chance to try and persuade you not. Poor dd.

I’m guessing it’s possible that the school didn’t realise how bad it was, but they must know it’s bad if they sent her home early.

What could you tell the police? Do you know the boys name?

I am not saying it for every girl so would you please mind not calling me idiot? did you read what I said?

I'd ring police asap in case the boy's parents/carers get wind of what happened, contact the police themselves and manipulate the whole thing.

I hope DD is ok. They should exclude him, she shouldn't have to face someone daily who has done this to her.

Yes police - call them tonight. There are witnesses, there is a clear and obvious injury and presumably he's 14 or 15 - more than old enough to suffer the consequences of his actions.

Email school tonight too (that's off your plate for Monday as well then) and insist that they deal with it - utterly unacceptable.

I hope things go well for you on Monday and your DD's wrist heals quickly.

I have seen this happening. One girl or boy gets bullied, parents don't pursue it properly and before you know it, their child is the target of other bullies too.

You need to report this tonight, I don't understand why you wouldn't.

Ring the police asap now on 111. It's helpful for kids to know self defence, but even more helpful for them to know not to be bullying little shits.
Your poor Dd and you. Xx

Private schools always sweep things under the carpet even more than state ones do (and with OFSTED on their backs, that's saying something) - they're a business, first and foremost.

The little shit is 15; this isn't some primary school kid who doesn't get it. He needs to comprehend that a violent assault resulting in a broken bone is not a laughing matter - least of all for him. If there is a police visit then his parents will come down hard on him, too. He's young enough that nothing too awful will happen, but the fact the police are involved at all will impress upon him that he is now skating on very, very thin ice indeed. And it will mean he has to be more careful in future, because there will be a record of a prior assault.

You should also find the school miraculously more co-operative once it's a police matter, and they are facing hideous publicity if they don't tackle it. But I would sweetly say that you are recording all meetings with them just to be certain all sides can be sure your subsequent notes, which you will of course email them for their input, are a fair reflection.

I'm so sorry, OP. Your poor girl. And poor you, dealing with this on top of everything else.

You would be letting your DD down if you didn’t report it. A child who deliberately causes serious injury and finds it funny should bet be educated in mainstream.

Oh dear, I can see why you’d be really not up to dealing with something now. What rotten timing.

Is there anyone who can help you? With the hospital and your dd’s arm?

Should not be

Valentine, I don’t think tidy called you an idiot!

Please be on the phone to the police OP

Call the Police before Monday.

Just to play devils advocate, could you give us the context? Did he try to kick something out of her hand, had she snatched something of his etc.Absolutely not saying this is what happened but I think people can advise you better if they know the context

Take a deep breath, lift the phone up and dial 101 which is the police non emergency line. Tell them you wish to report an assault on your daughter that has resulted her having a broken wrist. Do not bother leaving this to the school, that is a far more stressful route.

That's awful. Please do call the police. Poor girl.

sleeponeday She didn't say it was a private school and your comment is nonsensical. Them sweeping things under the carpet would be pretty stupid if they were operating 'just as a business' - do you think clients would be fine with getting limbs broken and nothing being done about it? Or the other parents whom those clients talk to? Don't be silly and prejudiced, it's unhelpful.

OP definitely call the police. The school (of any type) are often reluctant to involve police because they know it looks bad for them so take it out of their hands. I hope your scan and appointment goes well. My mum had something similar-sounding, with a good outcome.

OP, I'm sorry you have your own health concerns, but I'm worried you seem to be ignoring advice here. By all means speak to the school, but you need to be reporting this to the police NOW. I wish you and your daughter well.

I've had issues with the school before..they are not private ...just crap at dealing with important stuff..what bothers me is the attitude boys seem to have now ..I've been speaking to both my DDs and boys seem to think it's ok to hit girls they say things like 'Well you wanted equality didn't you? If they say you shouldn't hit girls they say 'that's your world not mine'...'If you can hit us why can't we hit you' ...

Have you called the Police yet OP?

Please call the Police and thencall the school on Monday.
Hope your tests go well on Monday.
