WWYD? School drama!

[hotmessmom82]

I was pulled aside by a parent to be told my son had grabbed her child. I asked my son about it and he admitted that he did. I found this a bit strange and contacted the school. It had been investigated and it turned out the other child had hold of my son and wouldn't let him go despite his numerous requests and he eventually lashed out. He shouldn't have done this but now I've been told the other child's mother is telling people that her child is now too scared to go to school. She even spoke to the person who works in my local shop and named my son. He's not a bad kid at all and I'm fuming he's being made out to be a violent bully. Do I speak to the mother? He's only 6 and it seems extremely unfair.

Seems like that woman thinks her child can do no wrong ,she shouldnt be speaking let alone naming your child.id say yes speaking to her but this may cause her to fight with u,id say go through the school get a meeting set up with u her and the children to get it sorted. X

God I've had similar with my son, I'd say address it through the school as otherwise she will be claiming you're bullying her.

Yes, I agree, this needs to go through school.

Had similar (still going on) deal with it through school and don’t worry everyone will eventually realise she is a bit of an idiot. If you speak to her she isn’t going to suddenly agree with you and apologise. She is an idiot don’t expect anything different and you won’t be disappointed. And then winge at home about her. It is really frustrating and unfair. Someone has labelled my son a bully and he isn’t (i’ve asked at school and he isn’t at fault). I smile / grimace at them and count down ten years left.

The not ten (that would be bad)

Thanks for the replies. I was just worried I'm being dramatic! I usually just can't be arsed with school drama but he's been upset by it and I've become all mama bear and slightly insane 🙈

You’re not being dramatic it is unfair and I cannot believe that grown women are behaving so poorly and effectively being a bully themselves.

Been here with DD. My DD has hurt hers (unintentionally and she's never been in trouble in school) and said mother told other mums to keep their kids away and that I was a terrible mum who couldn't control their child or teach them that hurting was wrong! DD knows all this and it's the one and only time she's hurt anyone. It's not an ideal situation but she didn't set out to be malicious as has been suggested. Tbh I get a bit of a hard time in school now Cos of the mother- loads of staring and whispering- but DD is unaffected. She's v confident and popular and to me that's what matters. Do believe that ages 6 this stuff dsnt matter to kids. Hurt child was told to stay away from my DD but refuses as they're good friends and share a mutual love of unicorns so... yeah I can deal with the bitchy mums if it dsnt affect her. I've learnt (v slowly) that school drama isn't representative of real life so I can say a wholehearted meh to it all!!
