To think this is just awful and uncalled for

[Whenismumhome]

I was taking DD to school this morning and there were a group of women standing at the gates (obviously parents who had just left their kids off to school themselves) talking very loudly and I don’t know what or who they were talking about, but they were swearing and cursing, I heard the words “oh she’s a f#cking c#nt”

There were other parents walking by and even more concerning, there were lots of children about, walking in through the schools gates.

They were loud enough that I could hear them while I was sitting in my car across the road with my window down.

AIBU to think it’s just wrong to do this outside a school when there are children about?

@SmellsLikeFeet

It's outside the school *@nettytree*. They can ask but there's not much the school can do about it

Exactly. Why on earth do people always want to dump everything onto the school? Don't they have enough to cope with, especially now? Do they sound to anyone to be the kind of parents who would respond to a newsletter, if they even read it?

Legally, the word 'fuck' used in public is a verbal assault, and an arrestable offence.

Have you alerted the church elders?

Yanbu. I do swear, in front of my dc as well, but only "mild" swear words. Yesterday I was sitting outside my dc's school, waiting to pick dc 2 up, and there was a couple of families nearby who were just laughing when there 12ish year old son shouted to someone down the street, "Where's your scales? Have you broken them you fat cunt?" Disgusting language anyway but from someone so young it's even worse, especially when their parents obviously don't care. I thought about messaging the HT but, as a pp said, she can't do much outside the school grounds and they're not the type to respond to a newsletter anyway.
