To ask what should happen now? DD attacked by other students

[RainInNovember]

DD is 15, shes had a few issues with people, got into a few arguments, nothing major and mainly over whatsapp etc, she does seem to get involved in the drama. But a lot of her friends are similar and there are often fallings out but then friends again the next week.

I just had a message from dd at school. she said two girls who she used to be friends with have waited outside her lesson for her and followed her. once she was on her own they put a coat over her head and started punching her in the head and pulling her hair and dragging her about.

she has told school and she said the girls are currently in isolation, I have called school who said they're investigating now and will call me back shortly.

I have never dealt with anything like this before. I just want to know what to expect and how seriously they should take it.

And have you now actually spoken with your daughter ie not just messaging

no

yes. she was home shortly after 1pm ive spoken to her plenty

Where is she? Seriously

you are going to phone the police before actually seeing and speaking to your daughter? The… victim

Ah ok I thought you were saying no to me

so what does she say?

what?? she is at home, with me! i have spoken to her at length

she said she wanted to stay at school but you went to pick her up? What has she said and does her perspective tally with the schools investigations?

Wow, CHILL

Why are you addressing her in such an exasperated tone?

It is her daughter- and I cannot imagine how anxious she is. This is very distressing

It is not fodder for mumsnet, she doesn't have to take your advice or any one else's and she certainly doesn't need to update in real time.

OP, hope you are ok. And your poor DD too.

Again -CHILL!

Why are you so invested? Hounding OP 5 messages in a row.

But you say that you’ve been messaging
that she is on lunch and wants to stay at school
and give no detail re what her version is

Does your daughter want you to go to the police?

I am not hounding her

i just didn’t want police time wasted with a call from a parent who had almost no information

The OP isn't at your beck and call.

Did you not read the many messages from the OP stating she would contact the police after speaking to the school? Must have been said at least 5 times in this thread.

Are you a police commissioner or something?
What business is it of yours? If the police think it is a waste of their time, they will say so.

School response is bullshit and shocking! I’m glad you will be calling the police OP. A friend of mine was attacked like this in secondary school and the girl who did it (again punched her and pulled hair) was permanently expelled and the school called the police! This was 15 years ago!! This school have massively downplayed this and I would be furious. I dont care what role your daughter has had in drama tbh, NOBODY deserves to be physically assaulted by two others. I’m so sorry this happened.

Yes

i was picking up other posters repeatedly coming on and telling her to report immediately if you actually look at when I hon we the thread and to whom I responded

What business is it of yours?

bugger all 😂

‘tis mumsnet after all

Can you stop writing 50 comments so we can actually focus on supporting OP. She doesn’t have to justify anything to you. She’s shocked and reading support right now. She’s done all the right things!

50? One for hyperbole aren’t you?

Enquiring about her daughter’s perspective on the incident and what she thinks re police is relevant

first she said she wanted to stay but i could tell she was upset so i went to get, it tallys more or less although the other girls said it wasnt as bad as it was. school have it listed ad an assault though

An one-day isolation and an one-day exclusion means the school is not taking it seriously. I'm sorry this happened to your DD.

not happy though i told school id be contacting police and they said of course thats my prerogative but the girl wants to study law and this might impact her future

ok??

@Flipdiddle ...Lay off the op. You are making yourself look ridiculous.

Op, I hope your daughter is OK 💐

well she should have thought about that before beating the crap out of someone
