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.

Social services have no sway. Based on this I think you need to be realistic about your families level of need. There is clearly an ongoing issue that isn’t being shared here.

That’s just not true. They will be interested, it’s criminal behaviour and needs to be reported to the police. The school should do that themselves but parents can also do it. It’s a massive safeguarding issue too and should be dealt with v seriously.

Rude. Someone is distressed about something and looking for help. If you can't read it, either don't comment or work a bit harder to make sense of it.

Not true.
Once the decision has been made to PEx, the child is suspended from site, from the 5th day the LA are required to provide education. A panel hearing has to happen within 15 days. At that point the decision is either upheld or overturned.
If it’s upheld, the child is educated by the LA in a PRU until it is appropriate for a longer term placement which may or may not be a different mainstream, depending on circumstances.
If it’s overturned, the child returns to school.

Getting to the decision to PEX for persistent disruptive behaviour is a long slog. But in the case of a one off serious incident, it’s a pretty quick process - with a shit ton of paperwork in the background.

Kate England. I had loads of postshere at the time as was a real shitshow. Back in 2016.

If this was my situation and the school stopped responding I would be walking in there first thing on Monday morning and demanding a meeting. I would also ask them if they had informed the police. I'd be unwilling to send my child back to that school unless the school shows they have safeguarding in place around that boys behaviour.

Police and also the Governors. Drive it forward. This child is a menace. You kick the Governors until they can't ignore you. Believe you me, they don't like bad publicity, which is your next step.

So school call the police when their property is damaged?
What about a child with a knife? Or are the victims parents expected to do that?

No, the school did not involve the Police in the incident I mentioned.
There was an incident where a child allegedly brought a knife to school, nobody was hurt but for a variety of reasons we could not PX for that.

.............so my son thinks if he gets in touch with social services, he can see if they could help to get him into the special needs school by escalation

OP is that the only reason you want to involve social services? They won't be able to do anything about the special needs school placement.

Apologise if it’s already been said but the age of criminal responsibility in the UK is 10 (apart from Scotland where it’s 12), so yes, the police would be “interested” and 100% should be informed. Why would anyone question if it’s ok for a child to threaten anyone with a knife, on school premises or wherever. This is categorically NOT ok

I don't understand how you know DGS was chased with a paring knife but not who by. I can't understand why the school would specify the type of knife?

Can't DGS say who chased him with it?

I'd maybe make a complaint to the board of governors, and make a 101 report.

You son doesn’t need the name of the child to report to the police. He can report it to the police and give the information he knows, it’s then for the police to speak to his son and to the school etc.

I would report to ofsted. Contact school governors and complain also local authority. The school should not be ignoring the parent- their child could have been killed. They need to know the school is a safe place.

ffs how is a knife available freely in a school?

You must report this to the police. Your grandson is in danger if you don’t. Do it ASAP!

Children from 10 yrs of age can be prosecuted. This boy did indeed pull a knife intending to cause harm. You must inform the police, in fact the school should have done, because it is a safe guarding issue. If this child isn't dealt with early, goodness knows what his future holds for him.....You need to look after your child, your child comes before this child thug...

you need to write this out better, it's hard to read.

Was it hard to read all the posts that have been written since her OP over a day ago?

Really, that is all you got from OP and her many subsequent posts.
🙄

I’d rather read a post with mistakes in than unnecessarily rude posts.

If you report to the police, the school will tell the police who it was.
I'd report to Ofsted or council, kids shouldn't have easy access to knives.
I'm not sure if you're getting the full story though. Seems odd that the school wouldn't have a meeting with your son over such a serious incident, they'd have procedures to follow and a meeting with your grandsons responsible adults I'd assume, would be part of this. Or, the school could just be awful.
Good luck op

Perhaps the librarian can show you the "Dick and Jane" section. You might be able to read those better.

A rude and crude post like yours deserves a rude and crude response. GTHU
