To press charges against this parent?

[Rosegarden10]

I've name changed for this as obviously this is very outing.

On Friday, my child attended a school disco. Whilst they were at the school disco, another parent broke into the school and was banging on the hall doors to get in. When she couldnt access the hall she kicked the glass door and broke the window smashing the glass. The children and adults inside were terrified and they had to evacuate the children in an emergency lockdown procedure.

My child (and the majority of the other children) are now traumatised. My child doesnt want to go back to school tomorrow. The police arrived at the scene however it doesnt appear as though they arrested her as she the parent was on the parent WhatsApp group trying to justify her behaviour an hour after the incident.

Can I press charges against this woman for the trauma she has caused my child and the other children? I am so angry!!

I think a glass of wine might actually calm you down Freckles. You're all worked up over nothing that has affected you! Chill the fuck out woman! Here! Have a glass!

Deary me, what a drama. These poor wee children who live such idyllic lives that they've never heard someone shouting or banging a door that they are now traumatised. The OP has only the say so of a child; so not necessarily accurate; often akin to Chinese whispers, reassure your child and move on.

Claire, do you speak to your children as you speak on here?

No?

Well neither do I. So get your knickers out of a twist and chill the fuck out.

Sooooooooooooo obvious

Whoops sorry! Wrong thread

I think a glass of wine might actually calm you down Freckles. You're all worked up over nothing that has affected you! Chill the fuck out woman! Here! Have a glass!

I am calm. I am sat with friends, laughing. I dont need wine to calm down. No chilling needed. Can you point out where have got angry?

I dont need alcohol to maintain calmness. If you do, you might want to think about that.

You don't sound like you're laughing with friends? You sound like you're raving on MN?

You don't sound like you're laughing with friends? You sound like you're raving on MN?

The only one raving is you.

What is it you said earlier? How do you know anything about my life? You got cameras here?

What if I said you sound like you have an attractive husband, or like you have a life or any knowledge about any of this.

You are making this thread about you. You have made up extras. You cant comprehend it didn't happen as the OP said, that would be a major police incident and you start throwing around insults because people point out that you are wrong. That really sounds like someone having a lovely afternoon

7Pip Yes now you have said you are drinking, your comments do make sense.

Oh bless. Go and have a lie down. You'll give yourself a coronary.

Yes, I have now consumed 1.5 units of alcohol and intend to consume some more

7pip I'm afraid you are coming across as goady now.

Or am I being goaded lol.

I'll see you back here, after the whole bottle of wine! That's a date! Waddles off to REMOVE dp from the kitchen.

Anyone watching the rugby on TV?

No you arent being goaded. You are posting incorrect information and making stuff and being challenged on it.

Ah bless, you need to have the full bottle to chill out?

I’m going against the grain on this one. YANBU I would expect the mother to be banned from school property. For counselling to be made available free of charge to children who need it. And for a full investigation to be taking place into why she was allowed to get into the hall. I’m all for resilience but this sounds traumatic for adults let alone small children. The woman needs to be prosecuted ASAP.

we are! the Irish president or taoiseach or whatever he is would not be out of place in Lord of the ringss!

@Takethebuscuitandthesink

Most would agree with you except it almost certainly didn't happen the way the OP thinks it did.

Well that was an interesting thread. OP if your still around, I am sorry this had happened and I do understand why there would be a lot of upset.

I think when people talk in the extreme it tends to out people at the other extreme. Talking about police charges, then a potential gun and then terrorist attack are fairly extreme. Most people don't jump to those things straight away, in fact when you hear about most terrorist attacks the survivors say things it often took them awhile to realise what was happening and they just to find justifiable other reasons for noises or actions of others.

However, with children you could see than one or two could potentially wind up the rest.

No police action was taken, for all we know the parent may have been sent a text saying that something had happened to their child and they were in a blind panic trying to get in. I don't think that's the case, but we don't actually know. It's all hearsay.

However, hope you child is feeling better now, take them for an ice cream or buy them a phone so they can have contact with you in school. Speak to the school about how you child is feeling, but don't add more fuel to the fire, if you child brings it up, acknowledge it, repeat how they are feeling and then explain that no one was hurt and it was fine, give reassurances like how quickly the police came and how well the teachers protected them.

For the posters querying about KS1 and KS2 together at a disco that would normally be the case at a small rural school. If our rural school separated KS1 and KS2 we would have about 6 children in each disco!
OP I think you should take on board the general advice about playing it down for the benefit of your child and not escalating the drama.
I feel sorry for the head teacher who the mum has threatened to kill.

Don’t worry everyone, I’m currently looking for all the court cases, where someone has been arrested and ‘locked up’ for making a child cry. Currently I’m on ‘zero’, but who knows maybe there is one (don’t wait for me to come back with an answer, I think you may be waiting a while......)

Well since it's soooooooooooooooo obvious, why don't we get MN to tell us.

Why did the parent want to kill the head teacher?
