Bully and Ds at school WWYD

[HaudYerWheeshtBawbag]

Ds age 12 was attacked a few weeks ago in school, at break time and then lunch time, completely unprovoked from behind, school got involved and the bully was kept in isolation for 4 days, Ds suffered a black eye, bruised ribs and bruises to his body. On these occasions Ds did not hit back, ( was too shocked)

Ds is not in any of this bully’s classes, has not interacted with him and has told the school he doesn’t like Ds as he’s popular.

Today Ds is walking home and the bully has attacked Ds from behind again, this time Ds has a vile black eye, sprained ankle and bruises foot pring on his spine, however Ds hit the child back on this occasion, and apparently the bully has cried, Ds punched the bully and picked him up and thrown him to the ground winding the bully. (Some feat for a very slight 12 year old, however he is exceptionally fit)

As this was outside school hours I don’t think the school will become involved now however I am now wanting to report this to the police?

Dh thinks no as our son has now proven to the bully he will not fight back and get the better of him, however I think the bully needs a lesson from authority that you can just be going around punching people unproved and from behind.

He targeted my son because of my son’s disability, I read it back and it’s unclesr.

Even if you didn't shout of the little fucker the police would've still done sod all. They are beyond useless these days and is why we have kids carrying around weapons km out streets because the police to nout when you report this type of behavior.

The best thing to do is get a fellow 'minor' to sort the little twit out. Is there seriously no child that know who would be happy to put the kids in his place. You can't live a life of reporting incidents that you don't like to the police. There will be times when you have to put justice into your own hands.

I think you are right to ring police. He has just been assaulted. If someone assaulted me in that way I would ring the police!

If someone from work had beaten you up then you would call the police. Don't see how this is different

I have called, a police officer will be coming to take a statement tomorrow evening.

@staceylace only the police did do something in unicorn case, she now has a conviction.

Any point in moot, I disagree with you completely, and as I’ve saod previously I won’t put my career at jeopardy, I will follow the correct procedures and won’t take the law into my own hands.

@Laceystace as OP said (thanks OP ) they did. I have a conviction. So it did fuck all to help anyone. OP I’m sorry this is happening, it’s bullshit and sounds like the school are being crap too.

I hope the police help too, I’m guessing by your username that you’re Scottish? I am too, I hope you get a better outcome than we did!!

The bully cried. I think it's a case of your son being pushed too far. I wouldnt want to see any child or anyone hurt. However that's what tends to happen when you go throwing your weight around.
Hopefully that'll be a lesson well learned to keep his mitts to himself

Another fantastic post of lacey

Quality 😂

Glad you reported it OP, do let the school know too so they have as much info as to what is happening. That way they know if anything happens in school over the next few days what else has gone on. Also many secondary schools take a very dim view of pupils misbehaviour whilst still in school uniform as brings the School into disrepute, so it's another issue for the school to address with that pupil.

Fantastic and thumbs up for your son!! These bullies need putting in their place - fuck with me and I can fuck you up!! Except your son was too grown up and polite to completely duck him up but he didn't stand for nonsense! Excellent hopefully his pasting and hopefully a nod and boot from the police will kick the bully into place!

You sound very sensible OP, I agree that an adult threatening a minor will not look good.

I think it's a good idea to let the school know. Many schools will punish for events that happen while pupils are in uniform, even if they are walking home. If they are informed about the ongoing situation, they can also better protect your DS during school time. Unfortunately, state schools can't normally exclude based on a single incident, so it will also help them show/build a pattern of behaviour. Hopefully they are supportive and escalate the punishment from last time.

Any update @HaudYerWheeshtBawbag

My apologies, yes, the police have tried to speak to the parents 3 times and have left letters in the post for them to contact the officer however so far, they have failed to do so.

Police officer said he had spoken to the neighbour and they are definitely at home. The bully is known to the police unfortunately, so likely hood is the parents will be trying to ignore, because of the police officers shifts he won’t be able to speak to the school for another 3 weeks, (as they will need parents permission to speak to the child) however I’m fine with this, as it seems to have settled down.

Hopefully as Ds has hit the bully back hopefully he will not think twice before lifting his hands again to Ds.

Sounds good! Fingers crossed for you
