My son is being bullied by another boy in his year. These last few weeks he has been really nasty to him. My son is autistic and different and has to put up with other kids being mean to him and generally mocking him for his differences- he copes so well - but even though he has to put up with unkind children he also has a great group of friends and great teachers who support him. But these last few weeks a different boy in the class has started bullying him - he is a deaf child with SEN and lots of different issues and he also has an awful lot of horrible things happening at home - he has no friends and has no one to sit with at lunchtime so basically sits and follows my son and his friends the whole time. He literally mocks my child all the time and where ever he is this child is. I actually think he wants to be his friend but because of his issues he doesn't know how to express this but of course because he is so nasty my son wants him no where near him. School were brilliant with the other bullying and it has been much better but they basically are saying because of this other childs difficulties and home life there is nothing they can really do and they can't really speak to him or his family will cause trouble. I would get my son out of this school if I had my way but actually because he is not your normal run of the mill 12 yr old I do think that he would be made fun of where ever he goes and although these bullies make his school day challeneging he does have a lot of friends as well but unfortunately they are in different classes. I keep telling him next year will be different as hopefully classes will go back to being mixed but surely he shouldn't have to endure this for 5 weeks. I looked his family up on fb and I now know which family he belongs to and I have been warned by several people not to take it any further or the "family mafia" will get involved and they will make my son or us pay even more!!!! So don't know what to do!!
