Schoolgirls spiked my daughter’s drink with laxatives.

[Halfordscarpark]

This is more of a WWYD I guess.

My daughter has been bullied recently at school, some physical, some verbal and this week the bullies poured laxatives into her water bottle at lunchtime and I had to leave work to collect her.

I’ve not heard anything more from the school or the parents and the children are still in school.

I’m interested to hear what you think and what you would do in this situation as this is not acceptable.

These children are clearly a serious menace and the school’s response has so far been completely inadequate. I would push to getting these children expelled and being as aggressive as you need to be in order to achieve that.

Another vote for contact the police, immediately. It’s a criminal offence and should be treated as such.

I’m not convinced the police will act given their youth but I would still report this.

Report this to the police, OP

Wow! Descend on the school (if you haven't already) and ask them what kind of place they're running and notify the police. This was assault and could have been extremely serious. These girls were being completely reckless.

This is quite a serious assault. Fuck the school, contact the police.

If this were my daughter? I would be causing the biggest scene possible. I would defend my daughter by ripping up those weeds. I would humiliate them via social media, the local news paper, the police. I would even take the school to court for negligence.

This is your child. Fight for her and do it loudly.

First of all you need to be sure she didn’t get hold of them herself and attempt to damage herself.

I know a?parents whose child experienced bullying at school. It waz so bad tgat she ended up at a private school and living is a secure unit and as an adukt is beginning to do what she wants. But I would be sending the school a solicitors letter and issuing proceedings against the head teacher and staff
Ut I have legal cover and I have a?reputation for digging my heels in when tgere is an issue

I was interested to know this and the two officers in our family have both told me this would be taken seriously by their separate forces. Which I'm really glad about.

OP's poor daughter has had such a horrific experience.

I hope OP is able to be less passive and fight on her daughter's behalf for this to be dealt with.

It's definitely a police matter.

I would be speaking to the police, that’s absolutely disgusting and it’s escalating behaviour

This is assault, police first, then the school. Make sure your daughter knows how amazing she is and that you've totally got her back (I was bullied at school, I can tell you she's being an absolute hero just going back). Make sure the school are aware that they have to pick a team here. If they go "childish hi-jinks" then its time to call in the school inspectors. Tell them you'll make it about their failings. This helps your daughter, because it stops making it about her. This behaviour has to be called out for what it is. If you've got some crazy hellfire momma in you, now is the time to break it out. If you were drugged by colleagues at work what would you do? What if she was being drugged in a nightclub? This is exactly the same. Good lord.

Your poor, poor daughter. Absolutely like others have said call the police. The school don’t seem to have done a lot and those horrible girls needs to learn a lesson.

Police. These girls should also be expelled. If they aren’t I would also consider moving your DD to another school.

report to police and push to get them charged. That is assault and could even be attempted murder as it is poisoning and could kill some people.

If you move your daughter. Make sure you leave suitably bad feedback about the school so other parents can find this when researching schools.

I'm so sorry this hapenned to your daughter.
You say they forced her to drink it? Was this physically forcing her - holding her down, holding nose. Or threatening her that if she didn't they would do something worse? Both completely unacceptable, but first has potential to make her aspirate and choke.

Please please report this to the police, they are so dangerous, I hope your daughter is ok, I would tell school you are concerned that they cannot keep her safe x

Brilliant they can’t ignore that

I am so sorry. I'd still report it to the police. Get an incident number. It's not too late. Head and (if it gets that far) Chair of Governors won't like the fact it's been reported to the police. Please at least do that.

Oh my god. I can’t believe what I’m reading that is absolutely disgusting! I’d be filing a police report and removing her from the school. Also go to the local papers make an example of these horrible dragged up kids!!! Their parents should be ashamed.. just as ashamed as the percentage who voted YABU. Hope she is ok! I hate bullies they are scum of the earth and their parents should hang their heads in shame

You should cause a scene, I'd speak to the police and then follow the complaints department with the school and hold them to it!

This is definitely something that should involve the police. These kids need a serious shock, and the school is being pathetic. Ofsted & LEA need to be mentioned and included in this, overdosing a child with laxatives is very serious.

I hope your daughter is okay. Have a meeting with the head to ask next steps.
Report it to the police. This is assault. Does the school have a good bullying protocol?

I'd report that to the police.
