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 ..

really? That is a physical attack and i would SO go to the police and press charges, year 10 is old enough to know you dont go attacking people , and a boy kicking a girl should be punished.

becotide so true ...love you

And yes, report it in the morning, the people saying to do it now clearly don't know what a fucking emergency is

Yes we do thanks becotide - hence why we're saying call 101

Can't believe no teacher saw what was happening.

Really, I can. At break one teacher per area, in the hallways kids around each other.

Schools have many areas that even with the best duty rotas there are areas that get missed.

And the teachers can't be everywhere at once.

Your poor dd, and you.

I think you should ring 101 now, if only to make sure that your complaint is lodged in case either the boy or his family decided to make a complaint first. Also, it will put you on the list for tomorrow already before the daily calls come in tomorrow.

My worry for leaving it would be that once the pain subsided my dd would downplay the situation and therefore be relauctant to make a complaint.

I can quite understand you not wanting to call until the morning and only you know your dd and what is best for her. It’s not as though you are ringing 999 though, and I doubt they will come out tonight.

Equality? Who says that the boys can hit the boys? He sounds like a lying sack of shit.

Your poor daughter.

No teachers were there...they were walking out the school gates

Given the time of night, its the weekend, it happened yesterday and that your DD is safe, tomorrow should be fine.

I would also ring the school Monday and take your DD in late (or not at all) to inform the school of what has happened.

I asked before but I don't think you replied about what your DD has said about what happened.Did the boy just randomly walk up and kick your DD, why is your DD making excuses? What is she saying ? why is the boy talking about if girls can hit boys , boys can hit girls. Did your DD hit first?

BBJ exactly my thoughts..she wants to go in (that's how she is)..but I don't think she gets it ..we are taking her up to London with us for my appointment (maybe)

Absolutely call 101 in the morning.

Given you're at the hospital on Monday, I would maybe email the school to notify them of what's happened, say your daughter won't be in and will be in on Tuesday to discuss it. Not much you can do while you're at the hospital, what shitty timing for you - hope the hospital goes okay. Hugs to you and your daughter

Imo i would have rang the police (non emergency number) on friday. If anything, it would prevent the thug trying to defend himself by saying it cant have been that bad if you didnt report it until sunday.

Lovely supportive atmosphere round here lately I’m pretty sure the boy won’t flee the country if the op waits until morning to phone the police.

Better to report it contemporaneously, op. I would not delay. You can call the local police station number if you're worried about tying up the emergency line.

Your poor daughter:(

I would call now just simply because it would be logged and they would probably get to you earlier tomorrow, you have a stressful day Monday so I would just get the police ticked off the list early rather than have it hanging over your head for the day.

Hope your dd is OK and Monday goes well for you

I really hope you do call the police in the morning, it's assault and if you don't report it it's not exactly setting a good example for her, is it?!

It will make very little difference to the end result whether you ring now or first thing in the morning.

Let her rest tonight - I'm sure she's still very sore.

If either of my sons did an awful thing like this, laughed and tried to pass it off as 'equality' I would hand on heart phone the police myself.

That is a seriously worrying attitude.

No. This is not boys in general. It’s the boy who kicked your DD. He needs to be held accountable. The vast majority of boys and girls know this is not OK.

Ring the police in the morning, they'll be mad busy on a Saturday night. Email the school and say she won't be in on Monday because of an injury and that you want a meeting at the school on Tuesday.

What happened was a different boy had a water bottle it broke and it was in his bag..this boy took his bottle and sprayed girls with this bottle...he dropped the bottle and my DD picked it up and sprayed him back... he kicked her hand it was not in the same hand with the bottle..she was crying and a friend told him he had hurt he looked at her and laughed

101. Your poor daughter. She needs to see you dealing with this with the seriousness it deserves. Men don't behave towards women this way and assault - at school or not - has serious consequences. She'll learn a lot from how you handle this.

Hope you sleep well, and your lovely girl. Good luck with your appointment.

I would report it to police too. Cal the non-emergency line and give all details. No need to wait until Monday. Good luck

Hmm. Where I live I would have to fill in a form detailing the "accident" and the boys parents would be fully liable for any medical expenses.
