WhHAT SHOULD I DO HELP PLEASE

[WarmDreamer]

My grandson had a boy screaming at him trying to provoke my grandson to react as he has adhd we told him if kids do this then the best thing he could do is not to do anything and just walk away (which he done) the other child managed to run back into school and take a knife and ĥe rean at my grandson the teacher saw grabbed him and grabbed the knife the school rang my son and said that he didn't need to come in they were dealing with it the child has been sent home with an internal seclusion my son asked if they had reported this to the police and now the school has stopped any correspondence with my son and his wife he now doesn't want to send his children back to the school as he feels his children are not safe does he notify police himself? Does he send his kids back to school? Does he inform social services ? He really is at a l9ss as what would be the best thing to do I find it hard that the school let's these children do whatever they please some run out of school some swear and throw things around which my sons have done in the past one has already changed school and now is in a special school the other is still waiting for paperwork to be looked at by the special school but I will still have 2 chiĺdren at the school and this happened on primary school the children are 10 years old.

Of course it isn't. Can't believe someone actually ran the OP through chatGPT. Part of comprehension is being able to follow posts like the OP.

OP - you or your son should definitely report to police yourself, regardless of whether school have or not.

What was the last communication with the school? Have they informed your son of anything at all?

When did the communication stop? If the incident happened on a Friday, it could be that the staff have done everything they could and gone home.
I work in a SEND school and I would have called the police. As a parent I would also call the police.

So who said it was a paring knife?

The OP, her third post.

Is this a specialist school OP?

Your son has the right to go to the police @WarmDreamer and I would if this happened to my child. I work in education and blades are supposed to be kept securely where children cannot access them. If the child had it hidden in his bag that is also a huge concern. Police and school can liaise with each other and find out exactly what is going on in this child’s life, and if school was negligent then action can be taken.

I don’t think my kid would be back in that school until I was satisfied that he would be safe there.

This all sounds very fanciful. I do not believe the school would just try to deal with this all internally...

Anyway your son needs to contact the police and report it. He can show them the text, plus his son will be able to give a witness statement. The police will then speak to the school... Presumably also to find out how a 10yr old has access to the school kitchen to get a knife as well.

It isn't.

The OP has made the salient points.

Yes, it lacks punctuation but it's not impossible to comprehend what she's saying.

Yes, we permanently excluded three students who brought knives into school last term.
If this child got it from the school kitchens, then there is a serious safeguarding issue.

Have you had a formal diagnosis of dyslexia or are you simply nasty?

As your family is finding out, the school will take the side of the most violent (and later sexually violent) child.
Any teachers here will confirm it.
The short answer is No, they didn’t report it to the police. No, they don’t intend to. No, they will not assist a police inquiry in any way, up to and including perjury. Yes, they will work very hard to get you and your interfering family off their premises by whatever means necessary.

I don't think a lack of punctuation is something people 'choose' as such. It's more likely that SPAG is not one of their strong points for some reason. Just as reading is difficult for others and well spaced text can often help with that.

Let's try and accommodate each other.

Dont be daft
No school wants a violent child there but its very very hard to PX any child
I am currently involved with a case where a 10 year old tried to set fire to the school and the process is long and difficult
Anyone saying "just expel them" clearly does not know how this works.

Yes he needs to report to the police. School have probably gone quiet because they're now panicking about involvement from other agencies who will rightly question how a child was able to get a knife and run towards another pupil with it.

haha! I meant at the scene of the incident!

The boy was grabbed before he got to OPs grandson and taken away, the school have already dealt with it without including OPs son, and they can't ask the grandson what happened because of his complex needs..

So who said it was a paring knife for the OP to know that bit of information??

Oh sorry! I misunderstood 😕!

He doesn't need the child's name. He just needs to report it.

@WarmDreamer why is your grandson's mother forbidden to contact your son?

Or is it the other way round?

Who has custody of the child?

School will not give another parent the name of the child involved.
I am also wondering how OP knows what kind of knife this was or any other details, its unusual for school to share any info other than that there WAS an incident.

I'm so sorry that your son and grandson are going through this.
Your son needs to contact the police and social services, also look at the school complaints procedure/policy. If the school are refusing to speak to him, he needs to follow the complaints policy to raise a safeguarding concern.
I would honestly be looking to move school if you and your son feel that the current school isn't able to keep your grandson safe.

I think people are just being intentionally picky, It is easy enough to follow, but saying that, OP relays all of this information about her son and her grandson (who was the one almost attacked), but then at the end paragraph goes on to say that she has two 10 year old children still at that school??

I find it hard that the school let's these children do whatever they please some run out of school some swear and throw things around which my sons have done in the past one has already changed school and now is in a special school the other is still waiting for paperwork to be looked at by the special school but I will still have 2 chiĺdren at the school and this happened on primary school the children are 10 years old.

Not sure what that's about? or if I am misreading that part?

I think she means that the children in this incident are ten.

Her grandson and the boy who tried to attack him must be in Y6.

Presumably there is also a younger child at the same school.

I think it sounds like she has four grandsons in the school and one has gone to a school with different specialist provisions and one is waiting for the paperwork.
