To be concerned about the behaviour of a child ad DDs school

Dd is in Y8 and the behaviour at her school isnt great overall, however one child in particular is very concerning. Was speaking to another parent in the year and she said this boy in particular has been sending her daughter inappropriate images (violent, graphic) and she had reported it to the school. This child is known for having behavioural issues including violent outbursts and threatening to hurt his parents. From what i know he has a poor support system and school will rightly so be concerned for his wellbeing and working to support him but I am concerned how they are protecting other students from this also. The other parent said school have just taken any information and have for obvious reasons been unable to give any details on how they are addressing the situation. I dont know what more could be done but its so concerning how things are going within high schools and wondering how common this sort of thing is. I think my worries are heightened after watching adolesence this week but its all such a worry.

I don't think you are unreasonable to be concerned. But not sure what you can actually do. Obviously the school can't share information or actions they are taking.

The NSPCC have a campaign to get everyone to report concerns around a child. And while it is geared towards reporting child abuse rather than threats from children, they might be able to advise. And of course, a child showing such concerning behaviours might be dealing with abuse themselves.

Yes, I agree. I'd hope the school will have counselling and other services in place for him but it may help to just ask for advice.
