My daughter got thumped in the neck today

WWYD more than AIBU really...

Young daughter, aged 8 was at school today and was thumped by a boy in her neck. She cried lots and couldn't catch her breath for a bit but is ok. We have a meeting with the school tomorrow. This was totally unprovoked- she wasn't with him. He crossed to playground to where she was with some friends and without a word thumped her.

What would you expect as a sanction for this boy? By all accounts he has been causing issues with various kids all year. This is the latest, and worst, in a long line of issues that others have had to deal with. It seemed that today it was my child's turn.
I'm furious about it all. My dd absolutely does not deserve this and I'm worried now about her safety in school with this boy around. So, WWYD?

That's very rude, I was just discussing it.

Seriously just read what I said again and don't understand..I didn't even disagree with you. Just said they would probably say you had the right to contact police but thought they would follow their policies.
Just nasty. If you don't want people to carry on and discuss don't post at all.

Sorry about the delay in reply- MN issue last night meant I couldn't get back to the thread!
Anyway, spoke to the school today and they are clearly very aware of the child- although obviously couldn't say much. They have put a few things in place that we're ok with and have assured us there will be parent meetings etc. No issues today and we've made it clear to DD to stay away from him (not that she was near him yesterday).
I'm astounded at primary school's lack of willingness to exclude kids though. I would have expected that but it doesn't seem to be an option....
