Hi all, very long story will not go into all the details but it’s come out that my child’s on off best friend has been bullying her for a couple of years, one incident i just found out about she punched her in the stomach last year and said her mother said she was allowed to do that.

The teacher in last year of primary noticed a toxic dynamic and made sure they were not in the same form class in high school but it turns out she is in a few of her classes. Theu gravitated back together. My DD is awaiting assessment she has huge sensory issues and has to go to student support for lunch break etc.

So 2 weeks ago they walked home from school together and popped to the park but this friend and another girl ran and his from DD. I popped round to their house and really calmly explained that my DD is very sensitive and really upset. I even had my phone recording so j couldn’t be accused of being threatening or anything because this woman is a bit of an odd one.

However, she got really defensive and in the end shouted take accountability so I shouted back at her. Since then other things have happened but I haven’t spoke to said women but someone said she has called the police on me.

i am just a bit concerned because it seems people get arrested for anything at the moment. Would I know as it’s almost 2 weeks ago if police were going to come? I am such a worrier and I have known this woman for 10 years thought we could have a civilised conversation.

What I did was go to the police, who attended the child’s home and gave her and the parents a good talking to with a clear warning about what might happen if the threatening behaviour continued. School put in place an avoidance protocol for both children.

Thats in place already but thank You. The police were involved it just blew up i was bewildered i am not saying my child is a saint but she is very trusting and naive. She doesn’t really
grasp relationships yet. She gets
fixed on things and talks about it constantly which leads to other kids
getting bored and she she doesn’t understand why and my heart just breaks for her. On the other hand she is very very intelligent but socially she gets lost.

You said all they did was run and hide so you went round her mums house to complain, then you completely changed the story and started attacking everyone who offered you advice. What are you actually here for?

People don’t come here anymore because of people like you. You can clearly see the full story but choose to
ignore it to satisfy your needs

That's quite a lot more detail and I'm sorry this is happening your daughter. I have 2 daughters and I know how difficult it can be to navigate when friendships sour. I just don't think you are going to get the resolution you are looking for by going to this particular parent. Go through the school, ask how they can support your daughter, what resources can they put you in touch with?. You sound tenacious, use that where it can really help your daughter. Confronting this other mum will just feel like hitting a brick wall.

I know I will not confront this mother again. My DD is strong but god love her she is so vulnerable in friendships. She seems to have met a nice little group now so I just pray theu get along well and she can leave this friend behind for good.

When my autistic son was being bullied by an utter shit at school, we took all of our evidence to the police and reported saying we felt he was being targeted because of his disability. Police took it very seriously and said they would investigate and recorded it as a hate crime.
Wont go into the details but the best thing we did was change his school before the run up to GCSEs started. Bully was eventually permanently excluded for the same behaviour against new targets.

Yea well the police are very involved due to another parent picking up on it. To be honest I do t allow my child social media so she manages to hide it. This parent exposed her xavtly what was going on thankfully. It seems the parents of bully kids are out in force. Bet the school have been calling them about how bad thier kids are so they come in to give shit to other people. No im not wrong you’re narcissistic kids are though

On the contrary people don’t come on here anymore because of abusive people like you.

I will go to her door again if I have to and I won’t be so fucking civil next time

You're sounding more and more deranged.
You're upset, but you need to be the adult here.

One thing you can do going forward is monitor your child's phone/social media. Then you will be able to pick up on issues like this and report to the school or police as appropriate. Ideally 11 year year olds shouldn't have phones to protect them from shit like this.
