I was attacked on Friday morning by a mum who goes to my childs school.
She shouted across the yard to me on Friday that another school mum wanted to meet me at the gates. I said no and continued to leave the school yard with my friend.
She drove past us with her partner and as we got round the corner we saw that they had parked their car on the path. As we went to walk past the car her and her partner jumped out of the car and started shouting at us.
She was saying that my 5 year old son had punched her friends 5 year old daughter and given the 5 year old a brain injury. Her partner was screaming at her telling her to punch me.
I tried to walk away and they both got closer to me and my friend so I rang the police because I was frightened. I am 5'1 and weigh 7st and her and her partner are 6ft and easily weigh around 14/15 stone. I feel this is relevant to mention.
My friend tried to take a picture of her partners number plate and he punched my friend in the head and twisted her arm trying to take the phone off her. At this point the woman has grabbed hold of my hair and was trying to punch me in the face.
I was trying to block the blows to my face when she suddenly posed her hand trying to claw my face ( she had her nails done ) and out of sheer fear I grabbed her fingers and bit her fingers. I did not plan this. I was frightened. Shes a lot bigger than me. During this whole time I was still on the phone to the police and was on and off the phone to the police as I had to keep putting the phone in my pocket to defend myself.
She punched me several times and tried to slam my head into a metal gate. I have a massive bruise on my arm where I've out my arm up to stop my head being slammed. We ended up going to hospital for our injuries, my friend needed an xray for her wrist and I needed emergency dental care for my teeth.
At some point the other mum ( whose child apparently has brain damage ) turned up in her car with her partner and they got out and grabbed hold of me too. She only got off me when the 1st mum told her to get my phone out of my pocket because I was on the phone to the police. At this point the other mum backed off and my friend grabbed my hand and we walked off together
During the attack she was screaming that my son had attacked her friends child and was always bullying her child. When her friend turned up she started saying I got my 7 year old daughter to bully her 10 year old daughter ( my childrens school has separate playgrounds for different ages and my child rarely comes across her child ) she then went on to say that I've been bullying her for ages and I'm always laughing at her in the playground and that I'm always posting things on Facebook about her. None of this is true
I got back on the phone to the police and the woman on the phone asked for the womans address. I did not know it but was literally a 2 minute walk from school so walked to school whilst still on the phone and went into school and asked for the address. The teacher at school spoke to the police on the phone and gave them her address and told the police that she is on playground duty everyday with my sons class and there has been no incidents at all regarding my son.
Once we had got off the phone to the police I carried on talking to her and the head teacher came in. They both said there has been no reports made about my son hurting anyone. The teacher on playground duty said his teacher has not had any complaints about him at all and they dont know why they've said these things.
The teacher was in the school yard and heard the 1st mum shout across the yard to me and she said she thinks it was a premeditated attack
None of what she has said is true. I actively avoid the mum in the school yard as around 2 months ago she said my son had hit her son but my son had been off school all week when he had apparently hit her child and school had said at the time she hadnt mentioned it to them ( she came to my house with the 2nd mum and tried to kick off but ended up apologising and I thought it had been left at that. My sons class has 20 pupils in it, 2 teachers and a TA so plenty of eyes to watch out )
Sorry that was long. What do I do from hear? I'm still waiting for the police to come and take a statement. School are adamant none of these incidents have happened at school. If she tries to tell the police lies about Facebook I'm sure they'll ask her for screenshots which she wont be able to produce as I've never wrote anything about her and I certainly dont laugh at her or even speak to her in the playground
What do I do from here? This cannot be sorted out because it's just lies that are being said, they've never reported any of these incidents to the school or to the police ( her boyfriend was screaming in my friends face saying weve been starting on her for months and she comes home every day crying )
I feel ashamed incase anyone believes all of this is true. It really isnt. Shes a compulsive liar. Theres somthing wrong with her mental health.
We picked our children up early on Friday and school had said the child with an apparent brain injury was in school that day and the parents hadnt been in to speak to them about my son.
I'm worried about going to school on Monday incase I'm attacked again.
What can I do from bere? Everything that has been said is an outright lie and school can and has backed up that they have seen no incidents, no child has complained to them and no parent has complained to them either
School have offered for us to pick and drop our children off early every day but I dont want to live my life like this for the foreseeable future and I think it needs sorting out properly
My friend has suggested getting a meeting with school with all us parents and school telling the Male partners that there have been no incidents.
I know this all sounds really scummy and chavvy, I am not a fighter I dont gob off at people I keep myself to myself and my son is just a 5 year old boy. I've never had any complaints about him, he gets invited to a lot of birthday parties, children run to him and hug him in the school yard and are excited to see him, school are adamant they havnt seen him hurt anyone havnt had any child or parent complain about him.
So where do I go from here? I'm waiting for the police and I assume they will be arrested. But their clearly mentally unstable and I just dont know how to handle this situation
So sorry it's long and if you got to the end then thank you for reading
