To think that dd should b able to go to school without being punched in the face by a boy?

[Amapoleon]

I know i'm not I just didn't know where to put it.

Actually I am being unreasonable, as I would be just as cross if she had been punched by a girl!

get a fiver give it to an even biger boy and get him to smack the little git in the mouth.

yes i know its not the real answer but
would seriously consider it if some little shit did that to my dd.

im very pregnant and fed up so im slightly crazed, no offence anyone!

well what do you expect sending her to school in the holidays

then id get a fiver give to a bigger girl..... lol only kidding

Hahaa kitty, I remember the feeling well. Bumpson,we are not on holiday here.

Seriously though, I was shocked. She has a black eye.

Stinking crappy slack parents. Of the boy obviously. They should be teaching him not to hit girls, or he'll be the domestic abuser of the future.

hang on hang on we don't know the state of the boy yet.....

Seriously I would be mad

"Stinking crappy slack parents"

Wow - dont withhold judgement junglist!

How old is your dd and how old the boy?

They are 8, so I think there is hope for him He is generally a naughty boy [for want of a better word].

Photograph it, write a statement and take it straight the head teacher.

There is a boy at my school who has been hitting other children, sometimes quite seriously.

He has lots of problems which we are trying to get to the bottom of, and has the nicest parents who are scared stiff they have bred 'a monster' (her words).

It's awful your dd got hurt, every child has a right to be safe at school. But sometimes our children are just in the wrong place at the wrong time (not saying this is the case with you) and the child doing the hitting has problems which mean they cannot behave how society expects them to.

Even this boy is seen as 'generally a naughty boy' yet has major issues with SEN which mean he can't yetcope with the behavioural expectations at school.

Not to hit girlsjunglist, really?? How about not hit at all?

What did theschool say about it?

In my experience my sons friends who are boys are happy to play power rangers in the playground. Their friends who are girls don't want to, and shy away, so I tell them not to hit girls. A boy punching a girl in the face and blacking her eye is shocking, whereas, IMO, if boys want to act rough with each other accidents will happen.

I'm not going to take it any further. I have spoken to the teacher and told her that I would like his parents informed. I think this boy has some sort of behavioural issues, I don't think he is a bad kid. I think the school he is at probably unable to cope with him and is not really set up to deal with any type of special needs really.

We live abroad and I think there would probably be a lot more help on offer if we were in the UK.

I totally sympathise. My dd got punched in the eye by a horrible boy in the park after school. She's 3. He's 5. It was pre-meditated on his part (i.e it didn't happen because they were rough and tumbling together, he decided he was going to punch her in the face while she played innocently alongside them)

I could have wrung his fucking neck and still could 6 months later! Grrrrrr

It's horrible when someone wilfully hurts your child, isn't it?
