I don't know what to do anymore *distressing content*

[Wren28]

My daughter is in year 3 (7 years old) she is doing great at school has many friends and actually loves school. But there is a big issue there is a girl in her class that targets her. 7 serious indecdents from the girl to my daughter such as touching her front and back area, hitting her but yesterday was the worse as my daughter was walking into class the girl told her she is going to stab her in the chest. The school called I rush up there. Me and my husband sat down with the head and talked about how this is not on anymore and the headteacher said she understands but it's unlikely the child will be excluded but she has a meeting on Tuesday so to wait and see how that goes. The school said they will keep the girl in at break.... But sadly this is what they have done the other 6 or 7 times, it never and clearly doesn't make a difference.My daughter didn't sleep last night and made me check the door was locked.... I just don't know what to do. I have tried to speak to the mum but she don't see what is wrong and her comments are "there is something wrong with my daughter" and " and what's she going to do it with a play dough knife" and "the school should be teacheing her what's right and wrong" and "why you bringing this to my door"
I'm at breaking point and feel worried

Honestly? I would take her out of that school.
Don’t approach the other parent - you should be addressing this with the school and following their complaints procedure if you’re not happy. But I would move her if I could.

Oh poor girlie. You're right, this is not on op.
I think I'd be tempted to keep her off until after this meeting telling the school exactly why, and that she will be back if you can be confident they can keep your DD safe. It probably is unlikely they'll exclude this girl, in which case I'd think very seriously about a change of school.

Thank you I think I will keep my DD off till I know what is happening, I know it's close to exclusion because the child is also violent and so on to others. But sadly I think we will find a new school as much as it's break mine and my daughter's heart

I was severely bullied in school. I remember being pinned against the wall by two girls as another girl repeatedly booted me in the stomach - they also pulled my hair so hard that when my mom took my pigtail plaits out later that day a chunk of hair fell out and I had a literal bald patch.

I was an extremely shy child so think I was a good target. This went on until year 4 where my mom eventually moved me school - I was sad to leave the (very tiny amount) friends I had and it really was an absolute last resort thing - however I absolutely loved my new school, fit in straight away with a lovely group of girls who I was very close friends with for years afterwards! My mom said within weeks it was like I was a completely different child.

I remember that feeling of just pure relief. Ironically enough, one of the bullies messaged me when we were about 13/14 on Facebook actually apologising for everything she did as kids - however we're in our 20s now and from what I've heard she's still a nasty piece of work!

I'd see how things go but honestly moving schools may end up being a very good option. Your poor DD, I feel her pain ❤️

In a civil society, her parents would smack the stupid out of her for that horrible behaviour. Second best option would be for the school to expel her on the spot.

Reading this OP, I really wonder if thisnhas been resolved? Hope your DD is okay. x
