Is my child in danger at school?

Hi, a boy in my daughter’s year punched her friend in the throat and kicked another in her stomach, he recently struck again on another child but this time much worse, kid ended up
in hospital again unprovoked! Turns out he’s got anger issues and does MMA so lashes out randomly and whoever is there gets it! School are brushing his behaviour under the carpet but I’m worried and have raised this with the head only to be dismissed as have other parents.He was suspended for two day so we’re all waiting for him to strike again but he gets worse with each attack. I spoke to
some of the parents and turns out he’s been doing it inside/outside of school for years! His parents are total Aholes and don’t care and his mum even told another mother to talk to her and not the school but I don’t want it to be my child next. Am I making a big deal for nothing?

@FranceIsWhereItsAt I’ve already spoken to the head and he doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem! Not a great example set for the children, despite us living in the social media age this proves money talks!

Bloody awful. What about reporting his behaviour to the MMA school (anonymously or as a group?) so they can clarify behaviour expectations with him. The school needs to know he is a real danger and they are aiding his assaults.

Not quite sure what you mean by this OP, do you mean you've already spoken to the Head about getting the letter you need, and he doesn't have a problem with doing it, or are you still talking about the Head not seeing this boy's behaviour as a problem?

@FranceIsWhereItsAt he doesn’t think thugs behaviour is that bad. I’ve also noted how the school treat children differently who parents complained (others noticed this to) hence not asking for a letter. Absolutely disgusted with the school and the sooner my children are out the better! Really wish media would pick up on this and shame the school but for now I feel helpless!

I would tell the Head that unless he gives you the letter that you need to move your children, you will go to the press. That should do the trick!
