My 13 year old daughter has today been told by a 13 year old boy in her year, 'fuck off you immigrant, you fucking Somalian immigrant, go back to your own fucking country.'

Why? Because he wouldn't let her pass in the corridor to get to the lunch hall and she asked him and his 5 friends (all also blocking her path), to move. They refused so she went around them and this was his response.

My daughter is Indian. She reported the incident, the boys own FRIENDS confirmed he had said this to her and then the school called me.
He will be 'sanctioned'. I may well impose my own sanction by contacting the Police.

So there we have it ladies and gents, 2021 is no different to the 80's and 90's when I was at school being told the same thing.

What an inspiring role model you are for your daughter. I hope the school take this with the seriousness it deserves.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/03/2021 18:19

I think your daughter would do well to learn to not let it effect her while also reporting it and not letting them get away with abuse.

Borntohula · 16/03/2021 18:22

That's disgusting and like you say, how far will he take those ideas in the future? However, and this is a genuine question, do the police actually do anything about this?

HOkieCOkie · 16/03/2021 18:38

Sorry that happened and glad your calling police. He needs to be taught that is intolerable behaviour

MadinMarch · 16/03/2021 18:49

Hopefully the school can tell you what their general policy is, and what the relevant sanctions are, for this appalling behaviour, even if they can't comment on this individual boy. It's also bullying (and probably misogynistic) behaviour too.
I think schools should run compulsory courses showing kids using racist, bullying and/or homophobic or misogynistic behaviour.
I hope the school make him apologise to your daughter face to face- even if it's insincere, he'll have to confront his own apalling behaviour and attitudes.
I hope your daughter is ok- she sounds amazing!

So sad to hear this. Dreadful.

Although contacting the Police might feel OTT for kids (and that’s what they are and they are still developing and learning so let’s not write them off just yet) it is important that the police at least know about racism when it occurs. I think it also sends the message to the school, parents and kids that this can’t be tolerated. The school might have informed the police already of course.

I would check with your DC first though and see what they want to do and talk through the options.

So sorry this happened. It’s shameful. Flowers

Police. Teach that little racist shit a lesson!

BlueSuffragette · 16/03/2021 19:37

So sorry that your daughter suffered racist abusive from the ignorant stupid boy. He deserves to be taught a lesson from the safeguarding lead at school and the police.

nanbread · 16/03/2021 19:43

You and your daughter sounds great.

The boy is 13, racism doesn't come from nowhere, if his own friends are willing to dob him in and didn't join in then presumably it's not them, so I'm guessing he comes from a family with racist views... Depressing.

thelightishere · 16/03/2021 20:48

This is appalling behaviour and that awful child needs to have some sort of correction therapy! What a horrible piece of work, I hope his parents deal with this fully.

Your poor beautiful daughter having to experience that. Hope she is okay Thanks

I went to the police when my son was racially amused at school. They took it very seriously

Serious issue, excellent typo😂
JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 16/03/2021 21:02

Abused, not amused. Sigh

Reading this makes me very angry.

You sound an awesome mum with an awesome daughter. Throw everything you can at the school and police to deal with the bullying bigot who did this, and then some. We must NEVER tolerate abuse of ANY kind. Don’t let anyone minimise.

Loopyloututu2 · 16/03/2021 21:31

This is so sad. I really hope your dd is ok - it makes you wonder what kind of homes these kids come from to think they will get away with spouting disgusting shit like that.

itsgettingwierd · 16/03/2021 21:32

That's disgusting.

My son is British but born abroad and he was told to "go back to your own country you spastic retard" (ds is also disabled)

So hard to get it taken seriously because a) he is British and b) no one takes disability hate language seriously.

I did get a quick response when I told them I wanted to know exactly what they Nola to do to stop it in the future within half an hour or I'd go to police.

Hope your DD is ok and I think there's hope that his friends grassed - hopefully it shows change that not everyone will accept it - even from their mates.

Wellpark · 16/03/2021 22:15

Former assistant head - this is racist bullying and aggressive conduct. At the very least this is an external exclusion. Press the school to tell you what the sanction is as they have a duty of care to your daughter that she feels safe in school. What will the school do to ensure that this boy doesn't pick on your daughter. Ask them to confirm that this incident is being reported to the LA. If you are not satisfied a letter of complaint to the head and the chair of governors is next. Good luck

StoneofDestiny · 16/03/2021 22:16

OP - the school are obliged in instances of racist abuse to keep a record and report to the Local Authority - check it's been done. Some schools avoid it to protect their reputation.

BullOx · 17/03/2021 15:56

@DM1209 how have the school reacted following your meeting?
