Hi
bit if advice info could. My child is in senior school, 2 years ago there were a series of incidents with a boy who was being a bully and being inappropriate with girls in my boys friend group. It was a really bizarre series of events that gradually got worse, and it all blew up one day and the boy went crazy (according to my boy). I received a call from school asking me to come in and collect my child, I got to the school and he was being surrounded by teachers, they were clearly in a panic, and I was told to get my child into our car, lock the doors and drive away without stopping. I said what do you mean what’s happened, I was told this boy was on a rampage loooking for my child and they didn’t know id the child had a weapon, but he was missing (teacher told me this), so we left. My child and his best friend, a girl, had both been affected, my son was frightened this boy lived near us and he’d get him in our home, break in at night etc. he was terrified. His best friend was terrrified too, her mum told us, and there other friend, also a girl, had been bullied and manhandled by him. After the incident This boy has been away for 2 years but apparently he’s coming back to school. We live in a city with LOADS of senior schools, plus other schooling provisions. The school rang to tell me today, the kids already knew apparently, and the call was very much a FYI call rather than a discussion. I made it very clear than I’ll be sending my child into school where I would no longer feel he’s safe, it was clear this child wanted to damage my child, and he’s apparently been seen by a child psychologist, but they seem to feel he should come back to this school. I told them it is likely going to trigger the boy himself, and/or the children he’s bullied / threatened violence and even been violent with, and inappropriate with girls (don’t know the details). Has anyone had any experience of anything like this? They’ve put him in a different half, made sure timetables don’t clash, and he’s apparently having a TA with him at all times, but I know that will not potentially stop a speedy kid with an anger issue wanting to get away from a TA who in actuality won’t be allowed to put their hands on him even if they can catch him, and if he has a weapon then they would be putting themselves in danger.
my child is AuDHD too and is just settling into school after starting meds (he has a very difficult time staying in class, can’t sit exams due to stress etc, he’s got a great friendship group so taking him out of school isn’t really an option.
any advice would be most appreciated
